  6. As the event kicks off, Farmer and LaPook begin with the first of many medical jokes. Something about endoscopies. Definitely funny at the time. Don't you just love doctor humor?


    Then the more substantive conversation begin. Here are some snippets of the discussion from this morning.

    Well, Dr. Farmer thinks Contagion is a good movie. That's about the best recommendation it could get. #HBEHaiti
