The Idea That Some Lives Matter Less

Civil And Political Rights Are Critical, But Not Often The Real Problem For The Destitute Sick. My Patients In Haiti Can Now Vote But They Can't Get Medical Care Or Clean Water.

If Any Country Was A Mine-shaft Canary For The Reintroduction Of Cholera, It Was Haiti - And We Knew It. And In Retrospect, More Should Have Been Done To Prepare For Cholera... Which Can Spread Like Wildfire In Haiti... This Was A Big Rebuke To All Of Us Working In Public Health And Health Care In Haiti.

The Thing About Rights Is That In The End You Can't Prove What Should Be Considered A Right.

Some People Talk About Haiti As Being The Graveyard Of Development Projects.

I Think, Sometimes, That I'm Going Nuts, And That Perhaps There Is Something Good About Blocking Clean Water For Those Who Have None, Making Sure That Illiterate Children Remain So, And Preventing The Resuscitation Of The Public Health Sector In The Country Most In Need Of It. Lunacy Is What It Is.
