Yesterday (Wednesday) was a truly amazing day in every sense of the word. After a rather tumultuous day Tuesday, this was even more welcomed! We travelled to Mirabalas (sp?) to visit Paul Farmer's hospital. I have read his books (you can find the links to the side on the webpage). His organization's name is Partners In Health.... And this truly explains his theory of treating people. As a Harvard educated physician who has also studied anthropology, he believes is treating not only the ailment, but digging further into cultural and social economic reasons as to why the individual may have gotten ill and reasons as to why he/she may not readily improve. It ALS happened to be in a beautiful mountainous part of Haiti. Can't wait to share photos and more details.
