Teaching Medicine to Fish
Medicine note: for me, the care of a patient, a neighbor, a friend...is not in the one time heroic measures of surgery but the persistent, long term, empowered, and effort that goes into building a community: a safe haven, a place to practice peace, to change lifestyles that makes the lasting difference in the health of the individual and for the future community. To teach a man to fish, rather than to give him fish. This is the heart of medicine and healing.
