Nice People...

Today I just happen to be at home because I’m not feeling well. I’m not complaining however, since I have a deadline to meet for an article, plus I have to complete some training material.

In writing this article on Prostate Cancer in the Caribbean, I found some really helpful doctors…I was a bit surprised at how willing some of them were to share their knowledge and time. The first person to respond to my request was a research scientist in the USA…Dr. Eric Small, thank you for your professionalism and willingness to assist. Also willing, and who even went beyond the call, was Dr. David Bristol in St. Lucia. What a gracious, giving human being. Also helping despite also being busy, is my own Dr. William Aiken, President of the Jamaica Urology Society. Hopefully, others will respond in like manner.

With so many persons getting caught up in the rat race, it is always nice to find that there are others who still find the time to help their fellow human beings. I guess it is these little things that let me maintain my faith in human-kind.

We traveled to Nashville, Tennessee from Baltimore, Maryland, and in general, I saw and met so many kind and warm-hearted people it was shattering in a way. The nurse attending my father-in-law was a true angel of mercy and she and I quietly formed a knowing bond about my father-in-law's fate and she put me in charge of moistening his eyes in final hours, all the while being one of the most beautiful-spirited people towards the rest of the family, it was quite a moving experience...and people in Nashville in general were so nice and approachable, and mostly spiritual-based...very generous people...I tend to think of them when I get mad at the world at large...
