Happy Father's Day

I just listened to Paul Farmer speak at the Global Health Alliance online. He always inspires me and validates my work. Again, he stressed that poverty and access to care are critical to the health outcomes of a given population. This interview made me think of my father too (Happy Father's Day, Dad!)because he was a surgeon that worked across all levels of medicine to meet the need of the patient (including the smallpox eradication that Paul Farmer talks about). I remember hearing if Dad didn't know what to do, he would look it up in his medical books and move forward. Another great example for me!
