my involvement started is in the response to a request
for us to go in and helped by as some of the uh...
somewhat smaller meaning about thousand-person tent camps right after
the earthquake
and we've really start getting involved with other organizations in establishing
relationships and then
uh... from the the last three trips all related to uh... invitations from there
patients get society the haitian doctors uh... picture children there
and uh...
um... the reason that five continued to be involved has really two-fold one is
selfish i do feel like
how we compass a lot there and it's very gratifying that the other is that this
is a program called like the a program in liberia
that was was established up by the work of others i just happen to have been the
position
to uh... to establish friendships and relationships with these positions over
these multiple visits

uh... both of their pediatric residents who are haitians who we hope will stay
in haiti
and uh... and sustained
uh... the effort
and also uh... we do uh... you know we do uh... teaching for that
haitian positions themselves were part of the haitian ppm trick society
so it's sort of as sustainable of program it's sort of you know
uh... you know teach me to fish and all i need for a lifetime one of the things
that we talked about
uh... in uh... are the basis of their medical school curriculum his position
as a person
and what that means usually and it has to do a lot to do with insight
understanding you-know-what
we bring to the doctor patient relationship whether that be emotional
baggage or some
strengths and often our strengths in our weaknesses are two sides of the same
coin
but part of physicians person is a not losing the humanity
uh... when somebody suffering somewhere again you can't
respond everyone
but if you have opportunity do it more and more of our students wanted to let
our residents wanted to
