Back in 2014 the Flint Water Crisis made me furious. When Snyder was elected governor I thought he might be one of those moderates who is fiscally responsible and socially just. But when I (little ol' me!) saw the drinking water coming out of Flint's faucets in 2014 and I heard Gov. Snyder say the water was safe, I spit out the clean water I'd been drinking from my own municipality. It took years, national attention (Rachel Maddow) and moving heaven and earth to get the Michigan Dept of Environmental Quality to even admit there was lead in the water. NO amount of lead is safe. If this had happened in Grosse Pointe where I live, the wealthy people here would've risen up, told their story and would've been listened to. The problem would have been solved within days--not years! The fact that Flint is impoverished make this doubly unconscionable. Reading this book (God bless Mona Hanna-Attisha and Marc Edwards from Virginia Tech), stirred the old fury I felt when it first happened. And that's a good thing. Poor people are getting the shaft on so many levels that shelves of books have to be written on each issue. It's exhausting ME! Don't people understand that if you help people who are disadvantaged it will help everyone? If you give everyone good health care and a good education we'll all pay less in the future? It's so logical I could scream. I'm going to scream, and keep screaming until people treat each other with the respect they deserve. This is one of the most important books of our times.
I liked Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha after reading just a few pages of her new book, "What the Eyes Don't See." Almost immediately, I started calling her Dr. Mona in my mind, meaning no disrespect by being overly familiar with a woman I have never met, but simply reflecting my growing, and now immeasurable, appreciation for her commitment to do all she could for "her" children -- the kids of Flint, Michigan who were being poisoned by lead in their drinking water. She is a kind person, and the kind of person who I would like to have as a friend, with whom I would like to be on a first-name basis. Not until page 273 did I learn that "Dr. Mona" is what she tells her kids to call her.Dr. Mona is the kind of doctor we all would want for ourselves, and especially for our children, or grandchildren. She is a teaching doctor, smart and professional, a trainer of pediatricians, but sees patients in her clinic as well. She cares about them as for her own. She views it as both a personal and a professional obligation to look out for them. And as a public health professional, she knows the importance of getting ahead of a situation, of protecting children from harm before they show up in clinics and hospitals with symptoms of devastating disease."What the Eyes Don't See" chronicles how Dr. Mona became aware of the Flint water crisis and immediately jumped into a maelstrom of political denial, blame-shifting and responsibility ducking. Using rigorous science and stubborn passion, Dr. Mona and a small circle of her colleagues were finally able to to prod resistant government officials into doing their jobs. Without their activism, the public health crisis would have continued. As it is, thousands of children were exposed to lead in the Flint water. No amount of exposure is safe, and the damage done to developing brains and bodies is permanent. Dr. Mona's team scored a victory of sorts, but it is a victory no one would ever wish for: the situation was completely avoidable and should never have occurred.An important theme of the book is the power of government, for good or for ill, and the democratic necessity that government serve all citizens, especially those who need it most. The lead water crisis in Flint was the result of a hasty and sloppily implemented decision to change the source of the town's water from Lake Michigan to the Flint River without adequate testing for, and without legally mandated treatments to address, higher levels of corrosiveness in the new water supply. The switch was instituted by an unelected city manager who was exclusively focused on "austerity" measures, placing cost-cutting above all other considerations. In the ensuing efforts to avoid responsibility, numerous other government agencies and individuals responsible for public health also lost their ethical bearings.Another inescapable theme is that our country is stronger because of immigrants like Dr. Mona and her family. She was born in England while her Iraqi father studied there. Rather than return to Saddam's brutal regime, he brought the family to Michigan while Dr. Mona was a young child. We are all better off because he did.The title, "What the Eyes Don't See," suggests many meanings. One is that our empirical knowledge is constrained by our cognitive categories. If you think that the only source of lead in children's' bloodstreams is lead-based paint, then you don't look for it in water and dismiss the possibility out of hand. Also, lead in water is not only colorless and invisible to the eye, it is also odorless and tasteless; it is a silent and unseen killer. And the devastating effects of lead exposure on intelligence, behavior and other outcomes are often latent, lying in wait potentially for many years.Dr. Mona is an elegant and graceful writer, and even those who know the basic outlines of the Flint story will find her account a page turner. She interweaves the main story about Flint with her own family story very effectively.It is an outrage that this book ever needed to be written, but given what happened in Flint I am very glad that Dr. Mona wrote it.
This book is good for teaching science, integrity, family values, persistence, the importance of good government and the virtues of public service, while also revealing the depths of depravity and carelessness sometimes found in our actual governments.
(My review from Goodreads.)I pre-ordered this book the moment it was available, because I knew it would be incredible, and I wanted to support Dr Mona — who I consider a friend, mind you. Owning this book, however, meant that I took a few extra weeks to get to it, because the pressure of not having a due date meant I kept putting it off in favour of library books that did have due dates.Having said that, I began it just a few days ago and devoured it eagerly. Some aspects of this books are not news to me — as a pediatrician with an MPH like Dr Mona, I'm well familiar with what lead does to children's developing brains, and also with toxic stress and the ravages of poverty. I've also visited Flint and seen firsthand some of the abject ruin in many neighbourhoods. (I was there to speak at a conference — what I saw was simply what I saw while out for a long morning run.). And, of course, I've heard about Dr Mona's role in this whole affair from the first time it hit the national news. Yes, she is as incredible as she appears from this book. Also, the story she tells of her own family is somewhat familiar — while I am not Chaldean, I'm a South Asian who was also born in the United Kingdom and whose family emigrated to the United States. Again, aspects of story I found familiar.So what did I find enthralling? Honestly, it was the drama of institutions. Not so much the state agencies that more or less blew it when it came to protecting the people of Flint. It was of the institutions that, in the end, decided to be on the right side of history: Hurley Medical Center, Michigan State University, etc. Dr Mona's descriptions of how people's names are dragged through the mud because they chose to speak up are not inaccurate — and far more common than we'd like to know. For me, this book was about that critical moment — what institutions would stand with her, and which would either hound her or choose to stay silent?There are many lenses through which one can read this book, and I would not presume to tell readers what their lens should be. Consider the above as you read this story—which you really should read—and ask yourself if the places you venerate in your own community will stand up for what's right when it becomes inconvenient.Ultimately, that is the story Dr Mona imparts to me.(PS Mona — well done.)
