He has devoted his life and his practice to HIV positive patients. He and his partner were at the DOME in Houston to get the gay men who had HIV....and he took them into his home. SPREAD the word Margo! You have a lot of offer the world.

I wrote you ...Thank you for this entry today . . . I wrote you a silly email because I had somehow lost your address . . . and so it's on its way . . . . just full of goofiness. But you know I haven't been well. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.<br><br>Margo, you are absolutely right. We've still got a lot of changing to do. When I worked for a hospice back in the 90's, we did a seminar for the ecumenical community out in our west valley, which is MOSTLY an older population. We talked about hospice being a medicare benefit and we brought one patient to visit with the clergy. I was allowed to choose who that would be. I chose a woman with AIDS . . . I told a little about her life, but when I happened to mention the disease that made her a hospice patient, a low but audible moan went thru the large room. I had several people tell me that I'd made a big mistake trying to push an AIDS patient down their throat. They weren't ready for that . . . <br><br>I said, "If that's the case, I am so afraid for their congregations, parishes, and temples!"<br><br>Thank GOD for people like you who were willing to counsel back in the early days. People were and still ARE hungry for information . . . that would be such a service to your community to continue to heighten awareness and understanding every chance you get!<br> Thank you,<br> CyndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173945383482633147.post-59459204547069487372005-12-01T21:46:00.000-08:002005-12-01T21:46:00.000-08:00This is pretty good contribution from the media:ht...This is pretty good contribution from the media:<br><br>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10268644/<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173945383482633147.post-58192730448507904442005-12-01T23:35:00.000-08:002005-12-01T23:35:00.000-08:00NBC said today that the three million people that ...NBC said today that the three million people that died last year means six people a second are dying from AIDS....my God...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173945383482633147.post-37773329293881286532005-12-02T14:00:00.000-08:002005-12-02T14:00:00.000-08:00So many people are so ignorant on this subject .It...So many people are so ignorant on this subject .<br>Its great to see someone who has educated people carry that work on and continue to do so in this medium.<br>Thanks xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173945383482633147.post-68795109704536319372005-12-03T14:41:00.000-08:002005-12-03T14:41:00.000-08:00Sadly...I was among the ignorant.
