Public Health Inspector Book

I wanted to love this book, but it gets 3 stars because it took me almost a year to finish. Like many do-gooders, Lemke is a poor writer. His style was very disjointed and had no storyline, just the everyday life of a bush physician. I did appreciate his humble tone throughout the many stories he related, but he hoped from one malady to the next in each paragraph. His discussion of the HIV/AIDS plight in Sub-Saharan Africa was incomplete but interesting. I have immense respect for him and his family and all they sacrificed to bring better healthcare to thousands and thousands of Cameroonians over a 20 year time period.

And after some humanitarians admit to false information in their recent books to make them best-sellers, I will take a more realistic, difficult-to-finish story over lies any day.

Lemke's goal is noble: Man no be God, but nobi man fit try. We aren't God , but let's give it our best.
