So there is this guy James Maskalyk. Doctor, writer, humanitarian worker.
Short overview.
"Practices emergency medicine in Toronto, founding editor of the open access journal Open Medicine (http://www.openmedicine.ca/). He has worked for Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) (http://www.msf.org.uk/) since 2005 as a writer and doctor. Wrote a memoir, Six Months in Sudan. Also written a blog about his experiences" (http://www.sixmonthsinsudan.com/page/blog/). (Student BMJ 2011;19:d6429). All of those links are worth checking out if you have a few minutes.
I read an interview on him in the BMJ and he seems like such an inspiration to young doctors after his travels to South America and I loved this comment, "I saw how sick people seemed compared with patients in Calgary, Canada where I was training. I knew that medicine could be a tool to working towards understanding and embracing an unfamiliar world." (Student BMJ 2011;19:d6429).
