  • April 2011 Photo of the Month

    One of the winning photos from our web site photo contest: Photograph by Ajai Sambasivan. Mr. Sambasivan's e-mail address is: ajaisambasivan@gmail.com.

    An elderly man carrying his grandson on his back through a market in Xian, China. The child's expression captured my attention for many minutes that day, and continues to draw me in months later.

  • March 2011 Photo of the Month
    One of the winning photos from our web site photo contest: Photograph by Justin Palmore. Mr. Palmore's e-mail address is: justinpalmore@gmail.com.

    I fervently believe that everyone is "worthy to serve the suffering." It is not a matter of worth, it is a matter of heart, a matter of passion, and as this picture so candidly portrays, a willingness to progress—to progress in a way that best serves the human condition, in every aspect. Therefore, "worthy" is not the word, "willingness" is.

  • February 2011 Photo of the Month
    One of the winning photos from our web site photo contest: Photograph by Warren "Jay" Huber III. Mr. Huber is a PhD candidate at the Louisiana State University at New Orleans School of Medicine. His e-mail address is: whuber@lsuhsc.edu.

    Even in the most dire circumstances, a Mother's love is unconditional. Her hands of comfort work in concert with the light of life and modern medicine to support the will to live. My daughter, Maryn Alice Huber, was born April 14, 2009, at 26 weeks and 4 days gestation. Weighing only 1 pound 13 ounces and at twelve inches in length, Maryn endured countless nights of uncertainty. This photograph was taken during her second night in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Throughout the 80 days in the NICU, Maryn was treated by a number of selfless nurses and one physician in particular who portrayed a comforting level of passion and empathy.

  • January 2011 Photo of the Month
    One of the winning photos from our web site photo contest: Photograph by Alison Freeman, MD. Dr. Freeman is a graduate of Rush Medical School. Her e-mail address is freeman.alison@gmail.com.

    I took this photo while working in a refugee camp in eastern Kenya. Walking through the "blocks" one day, I turned around to find a dozen kids following me around; they would giggle and scatter, only to start following me again when I turned my back. This is my favorite photo of that day. The smiles on their faces seem to exemplify the very innocence and happiness of childhood, even those that grow up in such poverty. I find it very hope and it reminds me why I continue to pursue a career in international medicine.

  • December 2010 Photo of the Month
    One of the winning photos from our web site photo contest: Photograph by Brittany Solar. Ms. Solar is a member of the Class of 2012 at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Her e-mail address is: brittany.k.solar@uth.tmc.edu.

    Cabaret, Haiti, summer of 2009: Located in the side of a mountain, Grace House is home to ailing Haitians and children of sick mothers and fathers. The woman on the left is screaming with abdominal pain, while the man works to comfort her. The children are eating fresh mangoes from the market, the first food they have eaten in days. Scenes like this are reminders that health care takes on many faces and sometimes the only medicine available is nutrition and comfort.

  • November 2010 Photo of the Month
    One of the winning photos from our web site photo contest: Photograph by Kavya Reddy. Ms. Reddy is a medical student at the St. Louis University School of Medicine. Her e-mail address is: kreddy815@gmail.com.

    In loving memory of my grandfather
    Lend a hand,
    A hand to heal,
    To heal those who suffer,
    Who suffer every day,
    Everyday . . . somewhere.
    Somewhere,
    There is someone
    With endless compassion for humanity,
    Who strives to be worthy
    Worthy of serving,
    Serving those in need,
    In need of a hand,
    A hand that can heal.

  • October 2010 Photo of the Month
    One of the winning photos from our web site photo contest: Photograph by Felecia Jinwala. Ms. Jinwala is second-year medical student at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Her e-mail address is: jinwalfn@umdnj.edu.

    I composed this photo using a double exposure method, in which one roll of film was shot twice, each time at half the exposure. The primary image captures a solitary man walking his dog, confronted by a "fork in the road" at the local park. The overlapping image, randomly imposed on the first, is a close up of blossoming daffodils, their search for the sun conveying a sense of hope. In medicine, individuals are often challenged with making difficult choices, but I think there is a guiding principle of patience, worthiness, and knowledge that shapes the path of treatment.
