Silvia: What are you watching?
Hermann: I’m watching a show about the health problems in Developing countries.
Silvia: Don’t we have enough Healthcare problems here, in this country?
Hermann: We do, but there are countries that have a lot more Acute problems than we do.
Silvia: Oh, those kids are so cute.
Hermann: Yeah, but a lot of them are going to die of Malnutrition and Infectious diseases, things that are Preventable.
Silvia: I thought the biggest problem was the Spread of AIDS and HIV.
Hermann: Those are huge problems, No question about it, but a lot of people die of other preventable diseases, too, such as Malaria, Tuberculosis, and Measles. Believe it or not, we’ve had Immunizations for measles for over 40 years!
Silvia: That’s terrible. I can see why you’re studying medicine. I wish I could be a doctor.
Hermann: You could, but first, you’ll need to get over your fear of Blood.
