Ask Me Why I Hurt: The Kids Nobody Wants and the… por Randy Christensen M.D.
Dr. Randy Christensen runs a mobile health clinic (from a van) serving homeless youth in Arizona. Their stories are touching and shine a light on the challenges homeless people have in accessing services. Well written -- I found myself wanting to know what happened to the various patients profiled.

I like this book. It inspired me! It also broke my heart. Randy Christensen’s Memoir will make you look at yourself and wonder what you can do. He starts up a mobile medical clinic. He helps homeless youth. It opened my eyes to homeless youth out there. It also pointed out the red tape this had to go through to continue on. This is an easy read. I would recommend this book especially for those you like non fiction biographies and memoirs. I give it 4 stars.

This accounts for roughly half of what is included in this narrative. The other half is a lot of self indulgent details about the strain Dr. Christensen's work put on his marriage (marginally relevant) and his wife's difficulty with pregnancies (completely irrelevant). The stories about the homeless kids are truly moving, but it's really not worth wading through the personal stuff if you are looking for a book about health care.… (más)
