K          “A prize dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the work of someone who or some organization that contributes to the advancement of medicine and public health.  Someone who adheres to the phrase ‘first, do no harm’ and if possible ‘second, do good’ for the public.  This is your pick.”

K          “A prize dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the work of someone who or some organization that contributes to the advancement of medicine and public health.  Someone who adheres to the phrase ‘first, do no harm’ and if possible ‘second, do good’ for the public.  The inaugural award is to Dr. John Campbell who courageously and tenaciously works to challenge medical orthodoxy and advance well-founded but unpopular ideas in a subtle and diplomatic way while keenly aware that rich and powerful interests oppose his efforts.”

J          “I’ll vote ‘present’ on this one.”
