-: I help people at home, but
the needs of people in the developed world are so great
and yet so simple at the same time.
I read an article that said
there's like one healthcare provider; so doctor,
nurse, surgeon, dentist all lumped into one;
there's one healthcare provider
in any given African country, per 250,000 people.
If I can be just one more,
why not?
One of the biggest things, no matter where I work
in the developing world and here at home,
that I think you have to have is a strong heart,
because the developing world
these things are not just physical ailments.
This is being ostracized from your village,
being treated like not a member of the human race,
to worry for your life every single day.
And then at home
I deal with dying kids.
I'm literally like the instrumental front lines
of a parent's worst nightmare.
So that's really heavy on your heart
and I guess it is on your stomach,
depending on what's going on,
but that's the hardest part.
