Email from The Good Shepherd Clinic

Here are portions of an email I recieved from Christina Maile of the Good Shepherd Clinic. To see the video we shot there click here. Doctors and residents pay close attention. She is looking for some good doctors to come on medical missions.

"I watched the clip that you put up about the Good Shepherd Clinic the other day; I didn't realize that you had that up already!.. It's great! ...

"Here's what's happening at the clinic: ...we will have visiting doctors coming down from the states to staff the clinic. Now we just have to find some doctors! My hope is to find a few doctors who would be interested in bringing their residents down for a month or two at a time every year. It would be a great experience for them and it would obviously be a great asset to the clinic. We already have one doctor who is interested, but need to find quite a few more. So please keep me updated on your documentaries; I think it could be a great way to raise some interest in the clinic from doctors and others. At the moment I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to look for volunteer doctors, but I'm sure something will work out."

An Encouraging Email from a Physician


Here is an encouraging email from a physician who is also a published author. He is interested in creating a television show for medical missions.

"I am not sure how I found your web site at La Mancha Media, I watched your videos and I greatly admire your work. I find we have several things in common. I am from the emergency room physician from the Tipp City, Ohio and have a great deal of international medical experience especially in the Caribbean having practiced in Jamaica, Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, Australia, Bermuda, St. Thomas, Bahamas, St. Croix, Cameroon and Belize. I recognize many of the places you were in Belize. I was there for two months a couple of years ago volunteering at a clinic in the Punta Gorda in the Toledo District in southern Belize. I was there with my wife and five children. I just returned from there again, I took 15 high school students to help build a school for a Jesuit priest that is a friend of mine. I have also taught medical students in Japan and Mexico. I have recently published a book titled ‘Caring for the World: An International: A Guidebook to Global Health Opportunities’. It was published by the University Press and is available at Amazon Book. I have come up with a pitch for a television show but not being in the business I have not been able to find any one to listen to the idea. I see the show to promote great organizations and individuals doing great things around the world, very similar to the videos you do for free for these nonprofit organizations."
