Of course it could be if it was done as a documentary photo project. It
could have been about the experiences of one patient. If that one patient
had access to care, then that's what the project would have shown.

Ted, though I admittedly haven't read your book, only seen some of the
photos on your website - were you telling a story, so much as showcasing the
work and acts of doctors?

That respect for those who've dedicated their lives to helping others could
be called philosophical or ideological in its compassion.

But if you had followed one patient - perhaps a cancer patient, or someone
without health insurance - and their medical visits, do you think it would
have been as completely separated from the politics of the issue (cancer
funding, drugs, treatment, lack of healthcare for millions)?
