I think there is probably a little bit of both. You need to teach a man how to fish, but if he is going to die of starvation today knowing how to fish in the future isn't going to help him much. There is a hierarchy of needs that need to be met.

Which is why I think the Gates Foundation work is so important (Vaccinating against preventable illness, breastfeeding, trying to decrease infant mortality, etc) It's tough to get solutions to bigger longterm problems if half the population is dying before age 1.

Hi there! As a current medical student/future physician, do you have any advice for me either about a really positive experience you've had with your doctors or even a particularly negative experience that you'd want to share with me?

Thanks for doing this, hang in there and keep fighting! I'm on your side, fighting against cancer, just from a different angle! You are inspiring with all your positivity!
