"When I'm a doctor, I will never prescribe antibiotics that say 'take with food' without making sure that the family actually has food in the house." -Health Leads volunteer in 2011, quoted by David Bornstein, "Home Cure", NYT 7/31/12
"The last time I looked in my textbooks, the specific therapy for malnutrition wasp food." -Dr. Jack Geiger, to the OEO in 1965 in Mississippi
That social issues affect health more than medical care does, so basic. Sounds like a pretty interesting intervention into medical education: Health Leads .
