Description
Abraham
Verghese
discusses
his
book
, "
My
Own
Country
: A
Doctor's
Story
of a
Town
and its
People
in the
Age
of
AIDS.
" The
non-fiction
story
is
about
his
experiences
as a
doctor
in
Johnson
City
,
Tennessee
and
dealing
with his
patients
who
contracted
AIDS
and the
stigma
involved
with the
disease
.
Johnson
City
had a
population
of
50,000
, but had a
disproportionate
amount
of
AIDS
cases
that was
caused
by
gay
men
leaving
large
cities
and
settling
in
Johnson
City
. He
speaks
of his
own
homophobia
resulting
from
never
really
dealing
with
gay
men
and
patients
. He
mentions
that
most
of his
patients
never
got
tested
for the
disease
prior
to him
treating
them
due
to the
fear
of
confidentiality
in the
mid
1980s
. He
states
that the
dedication
he had to his
patients
had a
negative
effect
on his
marriage
, but was not the
only
reason
for the
problems
in his
marriage
.
