NY Times on Todd Shea: “I’m the one who’s here”

Posted by on June 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

From today’s New York Times:

If Mr. Shea, 42, had a résumé, it would by his own admission reveal far more experience as a cocaine addict than as a medical professional. But with his take-charge demeanor, he has transformed primary health care here in this mountain town in Kashmir, where government services are mostly invisible.
“Others are more qualified, but I’m the one who’s here,” he said.
