A new person was forged out of what happened in the room. It's taken time to get to know him. Paul Thorn today is quite different to Paul Mayho, the young, frightened man who found himself in a room 12ft by 10ft, being told that if he didn't die he would probably need to stay there for the rest of his life.Thorn shares with readers the extraordinary - yet very human - account of his life from late July to mid-October 1995, when scared, unsure of what was happening and would happen to him, he was admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).Through his painfully-frank diary and the letters of haters and well-wishers alike, Paul's story is told, day by day, moment by moment, from confusion and terrible, soul-killing fear to acceptance and finally hope.As the battle against this crushing disease continues, and Public Health professionals and politicians world-wide continue to ignore the every-day indignities suffered by those living with TB and MDR-TB, Thorn believes it is possible to 'end TB in our lifetimes', if there's the political will.Foreword by Jennifer Furin, MD., PhD. Harvard Medical School, Department of Global Health and Social Medicine
