What other countries in Africa were afflicted to this extent?
Can you estimate in a year how many people died from AIDS in Uganda when you were there?
I guess the point is it's a staggering number.
And yet there were so few of you that were on the front lines.
What was the chemo?
If yes, you're too healthy for me.
How did you manage the personal toll of the grief and the death of seeing this? I mean, look, I think every doctor to some extent goes through this, where you try to sort of compartmentalize what you're seeing. But the truth of the matter is virtually no doctor can really comprehend what you're describing there. How did you process that?
Does your husband share that? Was there a yin and a yang to the relationship where you supported each other in a way that was helpful in that? I do understand what you're saying and I appreciate that there is a joy that comes from helping people, but I can also at least personally say that there are moments when it breaks down and you feel so overwhelmed by sadness.
And so you came back to the U.S. after about three years. And did you go back to UCSF?
Taking care of a million people with HIV wasn't enough to justify coming back to UCSF.
In San Francisco?
Okay.
And you were doing at this point, oncology unrelated to not necessarily focusing on HIV and AIDS related cancer, breast cancer.
Is this the Davida Hellman Rosenberg book? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
This is unbelievable. So you're sitting in Kentucky practicing garden variety oncology. Talk to me about what that's like. I mean, that's completely orthogonal to what you've been doing for the past couple of years.
But did they not understand what you had spent the last couple of years doing prior to being in Kentucky? Did they not know what you had done in Uganda?
I always have to remind myself, tell people what Taxol is, how it works. Just give them a quick, what is neutropenia? Why would we care?
And the reason we would give somebody with cancer a microtubule inhibitor is because that prevents cells that are dividing. You can't divide. They need these microtubules when they create new cells, and we want to block that.
It had already been approved.
So now you're doing post-marketing surveillance on safety.
