Watching Lawrence's conversation w/ Dr Anthony Fauci...

I'm in tears...

Twice in my life I had the good fortune to work on teams w/ Dr Fauci. The first was during the HIV/AIDs scourge; the second was during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Their conversation has triggered such an intense response deep in my psyche. Those health crises were dark days; however, Dr Fauci kept his teams focused on our quest to save lives. Our mantra: Great communication. Data integrity. Devoted patient care.

I would entrust my life to the care of Dr Fauci in a heartbeat. I will always be grateful for his service to humanity.

AND Lawrence's ability dramatically to frame Dr. Fauci's story gets ME! (Will continue to watch West Win segments, and admire his huge talents.)

using experimental drugs such as Prednisone and Cyclosporine to treat my eye disease called Uveitis, floors below me was the team of Epidemiologists and Virologists working together to find the source of the AIDS virus. Dr. Anthony Fauci was part of that team. To think I was in that same building with such a great man is beyond me.

That year, I also met the then US Surgeon General outside the Cape Cod home on the N.I.H. grounds working in the garden while on a jog, Dr. C. Everett Coop. We talked for a few moments and he asked me where I was from. I mentioned to him about the Eye Study and that I was a patient at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester where I was living. He smiled and said he had many friends practicing there. I saw him the next day while out on a jog and we exchanged waves and hellos.

I downloaded the Kindle version the day it came out, but I was in the middle of another book that I need to finish first. I can hardly wait!
