My Grandfather Fought To Establish Israel. I Hope I Get To Treat Palestinians

On October 16th I was supposed to go to the West Bank to treat patients as part of a medical mission co-sponsored by the apolitical Palestinian Children's Relief Fund and IVUmed. The point of the trip is to help train local urologists on a wide range of urologic surgery as well as provide complex urologic care to the West Bank population. This mission has been a success story over the past eight years and it was the first time I was invited to provide bladder cancer care. But the trip was canceled for security reasons as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict arched into another fitful spasm of violence.
