Hope And Healing: Learning Compassion And Empathy From International Medical Care

“It’s the ability to relate to people and realize we’re all the same.”";s:3:"u

A desire to learn compassion and empathy from another culture led emergency medicine doctors Steve Caldwell, MD, and Benjamin Sill, MD, to each spend time providing healthcare in New Zealand. The country has great need for physicians, and they saw this as an opportunity to help. And each doctor and their families came home with an amazing adventure—and life lesson.
