Man, OH, man! Dr. Rama is *frickin* awesome! I took a class from him @ UCSD and it was like storytime with your cool scientist uncle (until they busted out the tests, that is, hehe). His book "Phantoms in the Brain" is a great read and goes pretty quickly too. Big ups to Dr. Ramachandran.

[cremaster2007]

I would say parents first, but Dr. Boesler at DMU

I'm biased obviously, but for some reason when he teaches I can actually pay attention, well that and he actually tells us what is important vs what we'll get asked on rotations because some doctors want you to realize how stupid you are on rotations..............

I pray to him at night before every OMM exam. He is my saving grace!

I am amazingly jealous that you got to take a class from this guy. Right now I am reading A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness, and its fascinating. I wonder if you get interaction with the research going on in that hospital if you do a neurology residency there, or if there is a neurology residency there....

I've been inspired by quite a few people, but among my greatest inspirations are probably Paul Farmer and Alan Berkman. Separated by a generation, both have both fought the good fight to provide health care to our worlds most neediest, often at great risk to themselves (Berkman was briefly imprisoned for his work; Farmer almost died of drug resistant Tuberculosis he caught in a Peruvian slum) and succeeded where no one thought possible.

Their bios follow.

Dr Paul Farmer

Dr. Farmer received his Bachelor’s degree from Duke University and his M.D. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. He is the Presley Professor of Medical Anthropology in the Department of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Medical anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer is a founding director of Partners In Health, an international charity organization that provides direct health care services and undertakes research and advocacy activities on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty. Dr. Farmer’s work draws primarily on active clinical practice (he is an attending physician in infectious diseases and chief of the Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) in Boston, and medical director of a charity hospital, the Clinique Bon Sauveur, in rural Haiti) and focuses on diseases that disproportionately afflict the poor. Along with his colleagues at BWH, in the Program in Infectious Disease and Social Change at Harvard Medical School, and in Haiti, Peru, and Russia, Dr. Farmer has pioneered novel, community-based treatment strategies for AIDS and tuberculosis (including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis). Dr. Farmer and his colleagues have successfully challenged the policymakers and critics who claim that quality health care is impossible to deliver in resource-poor settings.

Dr. Farmer has written extensively about health and human rights, and about the role of social inequalities in the distribution and outcome of infectious diseases. He is the author of Pathologies of Power (University of California Press, 2003), Infections and Inequalities (University of California Press, 1998), The Uses of Haiti (Common Courage Press, 1994), and AIDS and Accusation (University of California Press, 1992). In addition, he is co-editor of Women, Poverty, and AIDS (Common Courage Press, 1996) and of The Global Impact of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (Harvard Medical School and Open Society Institute, 1999).

Dr. Farmer, MD, PhD is the recipient of the Duke University Humanitarian Award, the Margaret Mead Award from the American Anthropological Association, the American Medical Association’s Outstanding International Physician (Nathan Davis) Award, and the Heinz Humanitarian Award. In 1993, he was awarded a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation “genius award” in recognition of his work. Dr. Farmer is the subject of Pulitzer Prizewinner Tracy Kidder’s Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World (Random House, 2003).

Dr. Alan Berkman

Assistant Clinical Professor of Epidemiology, Mailman School of Public Health

Education and Training
MD 1971 Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons
BA 1967 Cornell University

The themes that unify Dr. Alan Berkman’s work are trying to control the global AIDS epidemic and building the capacity of healthcare and research programs in resource-limited countries. His background includes clinical care of patients with HIV and formal training in behavioral approaches to HIV prevention, and he believes controlling the epidemic demands the integration of prevention, treatment, and mitigation on a population level. His work in the MTCT-Plus Initiative and in the Dominican AIDS initiative is part of the effort at Mailman to implement such integrated programs. Dr. Berkman’s involvement with the Department of Sociomedical Sciences results from his experience and belief that effective control of HIV can only be achieved in alliance with social movements and the full participation of those infected and affected with HIV. The definitive answer to controlling HIV and other serious health challenges in resource-limited countries must ultimately be found in those countries themselves. This means building their research capacity in a wide range of disciplines and strengthening the capacity of their public health systems. His work in the Fogarty program, the related Fogarty/Ellison fellowship program and in the Mandela-Mailman AIDS Initiative contributes to that goal.

Prior to his position at Columbia CSPS:

Alan was and is a physician. He chose to practice medicine in places like the South Bronx, and in Lowndes County, Alabama where doctors were as scarce as in the poorest of the third world countries.

As revolutionary movements developed in 60s and 70s, Alan used his political experience and his medical skills in support of the Black Liberation Movement and the Puerto Rican Independence Movement and the American Indian Movement. Alan was at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, during the historic occupation and confrontation between the US government and the American Indian Movement. In 1982 Alan was imprisoned for nine months for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury investigating the Black Liberation Movement . He was later indicted for providing medical care to a wounded revolutionary after a shootout with the police. Rather than allow himself to be incarcerated, Alan chose to elude the authorities and continue his political activities. In 1985 he was arrested in Philadelphia and charged with numerous indictments, including a series of political bombings of government and military targets. Alan was held in preventive detention for two years until his trial in 1987. This despite the fact that he was diagnosed with cancer. After conviction, Alan was sent to Marion Federal Penitentiary - the worst prison in the United States- where he spent two years. He was on a very well-guarded, locked ward of a hospital. The prison ward. Despite suffering from Hodgkins Disease Berkman through spiritual strength kept alert, curious, politically engaged. Prison was unable to break his will to struggle for justice. He has been out several years now and remains an outspoken critic of the U.S. prison system.

Hey med1, don't we have a P. Ramachandran from UC San Diego in our class?

I guess we do have a Ramachandran in our class!
Cool!

 

[DoctorRama]

haha yes, it's ME (P. Ramachandran FROM UCD), the NEXT Dr. Rama. 😉 Actually, my mom is also a Dr. Ramachandran and my highest role model. Next after is the D.O. general I shadowed, Dr. Nguyen.
