Dr. Brian Cameron is a pediatric surgeon at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He has dedicated himself both to pediatric surgery and to global surgery, and has worked around the world in resource-limited settings. This was a particularly memorable episode for us because Dr. Cameron retires this year! This episode was a chance for us to ask him about his career, his life story, and of course, global surgery.
