AN UNEXPECTED CONTACT FROM A FORMER STUDENT AND RESIDENT WHO IS INTERESTED IN

INTERNATIONAL NEUROSURGERY

 

Your current mission sounds fascinating!

(If Virginia is ever unavailable, I can translate into or from French;

recently elected to Board of Society de Neurochirurgie de Langue Française)

Will hope to meet you in DC.

Warm regards,

Gail

 << File: 06-MAR-A-1.doc >> Wonderful to hear from you!

 

 I am picking this up remotely as the first message to which I will

respond through the wireless net I am accessing as I prepare to leave

Kigali Rwanda after several weeks work here leading a team I have

organized for Phsyicians for Peace (see attached.)

 

I am glad you are using the book--the price is right! 

 

It has been very helpful for those in the entourage I am leading just

now,and for those in the forthcoming ones I am planning next.   I return

via Toledo for this year's Medical Mission Hall of Fame--to introduce my

subsequent awardees from Addis Ababa and Gondar Ethiopia (arranged

through Rick Hodes, formerly of Hopkins, currently coordinating the

Mother Teresa clinic work there) and Jill Seamans working in Old Fangak

Sudan, with both of whom I had worked in the last year, and now am

planning with them the returns.  There will also likely be a July 2007

return to Rwanda.

 

I will send more to you as each develops, but I especially encourage you

to connect with the senior citizen of all Professors of Neurosurgery

throughout Africa who had contributed the chapter on Nerurosurgery in

the book!

 

I will re-connect with you upon my return, but I believe I will be

available on the dates you had suggested.

 

Cheers!

Dear Dr. Geelhoed,

 

You were one of my favorite professors when I graduated in the GW Med

School

class of 1985 and one of my favorites in the General Surgery Dept when I

finished my residency in Neurosurgery at GW in 1991.   Since then, I

have

been in practice in Chicago, at Rush University and the

Neurologic-Orthopedic Institute of Chicago.

I have become very involved in international neurosurgery, and

coordinate

neurosurgical volunteers to the developing world.  I recently saw your

excellent text and have highly recommended it to neurosurgeons around

the

globe.  My husband recommends it to his orthopedist colleagues.

I would love to reconnect sometime.

I will be in Washington April 27-28 to interview Hugo Rizzoli for a

history

of neurosurgery piece I am doing.  Might you have be available and in

Washington on those dates?

I look forward to hearing from you, and congratulate you again on your

outstanding book.

 

Very truly yours,
