- THANKS CBS for airing programming like this. It is uplifting and inspiring. It helps to see the world in a different light than is usually presented in a news program. Please keep it up, and hope all the others follow suit. There is such a power in media to do good.

- Paul Farmer is showing us the way to better universal health with one serious omission %u2014 Birth control! Not one question about women''s health when multiply births are reducing a woman''s chance of survival and nurturing a healthy family.

- If St. Peter does not allow physicians like Dr. Farmer and Dr. Walton through the gates of heaven, we are all sunk.

- My hat goes off to Dr. Paul and his work with the Haitian people. I would like to say to watch23 that the culture of the people are much different than ours and that was shown in the presentation. I think the article about the hospital was wonderful. Thank you for showing something good happening in the country.

- I just watched this story and was also very moved by the guy''s altruism and dedication. I was humbled to think of how little I had really accomplished in my 40 years of teaching high school. And then, there was a commercial break, and a man of similiar age was telling me just how much I missed in life if I didn''t own a Cadillac Escalade with all the options, like he was driving. Only in America, could I recover from my self-assigned guilt trip so quickly.

- I think what Dr Farmer is doing is wonderful. My only question is that after 25 yr in Haiti, where most mothers/children die in childbirth, why doesn''t he offer to tie their tubes after say 4 kids. 11 children for uneducated people with no hope of raising them to be productive individuals able to care for themselves....and the parents can''t even care for them to guarantee they will live to be adults.
Maybe if each family had only one or two children, they could have extra money, energy, time ..etc...to provide a decent life for themselves and the few children they do have.
