A Global Plan for Avoiding Disasters

A New Model for Medical Education

“I’m embarrassed by the statistics our country has. I’m embarrassed by the fact that my profession, from academic medicine to the implementation of my profession,

become socially acceptable that a physician can refuse a patient because they have no money?”

What Do You See?

“It’s very easy for us to look at a person in a wheelchair, with crutches or with any kind of device, and that’s the fi rst thing we see. I believe that those devices, rather than being something that stops us from achieving a dream, they’re actually a potential, a challenge that allows you to go anywhere you want to be.”

When Are You Really Dead?

“It would be a logical approach to assume life and death are, in fact, opposites. But frankly, under the law, if you make that assumption, pardon the pun, you would be dead wrong. The law does not, in fact, treat life and death as opposites. It treats them completely independent of each other.”

Alleviating Energy Poverty in India

“If I can replace kerosene lamps with solar powered lighting, I can prevent tons of toxins from being released into the atmosphere. I can save these villagers money. I can increase their quality of life, increase their productivity at night. And I could potentially save lives. All for a small investment of $10. In today’s economy that’s what, two lattes?”

Can a 12 Year Old Be a Leader?

“I founded and started a nonprofi t organization dedicated and devoted to teaching leadership skills to Miami-Dade middle school students. I was passionate about leadership and I made sure I was doing something with that passion. Just imagine, now that we are teaching 12 year olds what to do with these skills, what they can accomplish when they are older.”
