The old surgeons basement library was his shelter, a sanctuary from his overworked mind and spirit. This silent depository of medical science, like him, ached from age. Filled with mostly abandoned thought, these precious books nevertheless contained hints of a brilliant future in the healing arts.

Then, by chance, from a 1920s volume on human anatomy fell an old yellowed photograph. It showed a dozen young men, recent medical school graduates looking eager and ready to mend a broken world. What, the old man wondered, would they think about the present status of their chosen profession? Would they be as proud as he was? How could they possibly prepare for the bureaucracy and legal challenges that lay ahead?

The old mans eyes had lost the fire of those in the photo but, ever proud of his noble work, sensed a rekindling. His passion still burned, and, if properly coerced, he could return to fight for his beloved medicine.

Then along came a young reporter, who was looking for a story to tell. As it turned out, both were engaged in improving mankind, the old man by healing it and the young one by adequately portraying aspects of a profession that were so often misunderstood.This story is an old mans reflection of all that is right with the health-care system and, sadly, all that is wrong with the nations delivery of that care.

Terrific addition to your backpacking gear
I like this map holder for its versatility in holding different size maps. Once sealed, it was very effective at keeping moisture out and protecting the maps. I originally used this on a 13K mountain ascent. Worked great. The only thing that can be tricky at times is sealing the top. It's not as easy as sealing a typical zip-loc kitchen bag, takes some doing to get it to seal.

Best Map Case Ever!!!
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Best Map case in the market! Field tested and keeps everything dry. The size is fantastic and you can run paracord through the rings. I would recommend this to anyone that uses a map. You definitely pay for what you get and that's high quality and functionality.
