Abraham Verghese arrived in America at the same time as the AIDS virus arrived from Africa. He began practice in a small community in Tennessee, and, as young men started returning from the big cities, he found himself in the front line as sole provider of HIV care in the community.
MY OWN COUNTRY is the extraordinary story of an Indian physician who settled in a rural town in Tennessee as a young doctor to AIDS patients. This is a book about illness and treatment, about how a small community reacts to the advent of AIDS, about doctor-patient relationships, the body in decline, the ritual of examination, and how Verghese, as a doctor, coped with the inevitability of death. Verghese creates, beyond the jargon of medicine, a lyrical and haunting language unique in this genre, and provides a narrative at once rich, absorbing and above all, moving.
