Event Description
Join the library and Mayo Clinic's Biomedical Ethics Research Program for a virtual book discussion on The Kissing Bug: a True Story of a Family, an Insect, and a Nation's Neglect of a Deadly Disease by Daisy Hernandez.
Through unsparing, gripping, and humane portraits. Hernandez exposes how poverty, racism, and public policies have conspired to keep Chagas Disease hidden. A riveting and nuanced investigation into racial politics and for-profit healthcare in the United States. The Kissing Bug helps us connect big population data to our lives and to the stories of affected patients, loved ones, and their communities.
