[Leica] RE: SICK KIDS AND COMMENTS

[topoxforddoc at btinternet.com (charlie chan)]

I do find Steve's and Ted's work very moving at times. As a cancer  
surgeon myself, I find my patients face their illnesses with great  
fortitude - it can be extremely humbling at times.

Whilst I would love to picture some of my patients in the same way  
(with their permission of course), I would find it very difficult to  
do so here in the UK. Confidentiality issues are extermely onerous on  
this side of the Atlantic. I would love to know how Steve, in  
particular, gets around this issue and how he manages to persuade his  
hospital to let him shoot his kids in PICU.

Sadly most of my medical shots do not include any recognisable  
patient features. I could get myself struck off the Medical Register  
if I did.
