Terrible Typhoid Mary

This was a super quick read and very, very fascinating. It's both a story about a woman who was basically ruined by being a healthy typhoid carrier and about how the Health Department and the US Government's complete disregard for the Constitution and the rights of Mary Mallon. While there were many reasons to have sympathy for Mary's ruination her inability to trust the Health Department and what they were telling her led to numerous victims. It was made a little more interesting as I just watched an episode of Call The Midwife with a healthy carrier!
