Dr. Gawande 's demonstration of diligence was expressed from his study of the 19th century Vienna on the importance of hand-washing, the care taken to save the wounded in Afghanistan and the drive to eliminate the Poliovirus in India.

However, in Paris during 1978 a man was diagnosed with pneumocystis pneumonia, he showed symptoms of fungus in his mouth, warts on his hands and legs, and a toxoplasmosis cat disease that was eating away his brain. After this outrageous outbreak of pneumocystis pneumonia, doctors in Paris came to the conclusion that they should look more into this since people don’t usually die from this illness.

Interdisciplinary work is crucial for tackling NTDs because it provides various areas of study to enact and treat tropical diseases, while also considering other perspectives. In the video "The One Health Initiative", it is mentioned that infectious diseases are zoonotic, foodborne, vectorborne, and waterborne. With these diseases emerging from varying sources, it is essential to have support for all areas of tropical disease. The speaker in The One Health Initiative video also cited the 2008 ASM meeting, where the disciplines of veterinary practice and human health found many connecting links in diseases between animals and humans.

In a time when antibiotics were not up to par with bacterial infections, someone, somewhere, needed to find the answer to getting rid of the bacterial infections that were killing people all over the world.

Vince regards his peers as knowledgeable and since most people want to be accepted into the group, Vince will often seek permission, from his mother, to participate in activities involving his friends. Alternatively, Vince’s mother

My interest in Infectious disease began even before entering residency half way across the world in the unique country of Nepal. Nepal is rich in natural beauty with breath taking landscapes, diverse culture but is also one of the most impoverished. I had the privilege to witness first hand how the dedicated physicians living there do the most with less in one of the most remotest parts of Nepal. Majority of the cases were infectious in nature with differentials including organisms not as prevalent in the US: tuberculosis, typhoid, dengue, malaria, brucellosis and leptospirosis to name a few. What the physicians lacked in resources, they made up their close attention to detail in both the history and the thoroughness of their physical exam. My interest further developed during my residency years where I had the pleasure of working with seasoned infectious disease attendings and was exposed to an array of pathology… even seeing a handful of extremely rare
