Day 87: Little Doc

The things that I will be able to accomplish as a military medical advisor will depend solely on the rapport that I will have with my interpreters. Here is a picture of my primary interpreter and cultural advisor, Latif aka "Little Doc". He's an exceptionally intelligent Afghan national with a background in pharmacy. He is very pleasant and, from what I can already see, very easy to work with. He'll be accompanying me on daily "rounds" to the clinic to oversee the day-to-day workings of the Afghan National Army Clinic. The nice thing about my job is that it is walking distance from my "home" and requires no body armor!
