Paul Farmer the Duke graduate I admire most I think most of you know him
保羅.法默是我最欽佩的一位杜克畢業生我想你們大多數人都聽說過他
He's a doctor and a global health innovator He spends his time between Boston, Haiti, Rwanda He's now trying to fix or completely change the Rwandan health system
他是一名醫生 一名全球健康革新者他把大部分時間都花在波士頓 海地 盧旺達他現在正嘗試著徹底改革盧旺達的醫療體系
I first met Paul in 2003. I went to travel to his clinic in Cange, Haiti and what struck me about that visit was first of all it took us so long to get the 100 yards from the vehicle to his clinic
我2003年第一次遇見保羅 我拜訪了他在海地小村康吉的診所這次訪問讓我驚奇的 首先是從下車到他診所的100碼距離竟然走了那么久
And the reason for that was that Paul introduced me to every single person along the way Every single person
原因在于保羅向我介紹了路上碰到的每一個人每一個人
And he introduced them by first and last name he told me something about their family. He asked them about their lives And when we arrived at the clinic
他介紹了他們的全名告訴我他們的家庭情況 問他們生活過得如何等我們到達診所
On the outside, there was this beautiful little trellis with morning glories growing on it When I asked Paul about it, he said, "Oh, I built that myself
我看到外面搭有長滿牽牛花的漂亮棚架我問保羅 他說 "這是我自己建的"
I built it because I wanted the people here to see the beauty in the world that I see and I also wanted them to have a little bit of shade in the sun while they wait to go in the clinic"
我想讓這里的人和我一樣 看到世界的美麗"另外 這還能為他們排隊就診"提供陰涼之所
The very next day, I traveled to another clinic in Haiti It was in Port-au-Prince. It was set up for the same reasons as Paul to give great healthcare to the people of Haiti
第二天 我又拜訪了海地另一家診所這是在太子港 診所的建立目的和保羅一樣是為了給海地民眾提供好的醫療
The doctors there went for all the right reasons I noticed something very different in that clinic The doctors thought of themselves as health care providers
那里的醫生也都出于良好動機但我注意到 這個診所就非常不同了醫生們只把自己當作是醫療提供者
And they thought of the Haitians as recipients and consequently even though healthcare was good quality, healthcare was going on there
只把海地人當作是醫療接受者結果盡管同樣有高質量的醫療
There was a lot of resentment in that clinic between both patients and doctors and experiencing those two clinics one-day right after the other taught me something
但診所內病人和醫生的不滿之聲卻都不絕于耳兩天之內連續訪問這兩家診所的經歷讓我認識到
