I have no idea who she is, but I want to go to a party with this woman!
Misc. Ravings
So today I was at a meeting of health professionals (meeting on: Variant, Atypical and Resistant HIV Surveillance. Sounds fun, huh?) At the end of the meeting when the presenter asked for feedback, an Oromo doctor said how important it is to have accurate translations of the materials. The presenter agreed, and the guy then repeated himself, adding that "(he is) not only a medical doctor, but an expert on the language" and then repeated - again - how important it is to have accurate translations provided. Once again the presenter agreed, and asked him if he would be willing to review the translation. This uncorked a ten minute diatribe on (yes, you guessed right!) the importance of accurate translation. At this point, people in theroom were audibly rolling their eyes. We all agreed that it is important and we get it! Now let it go! Because of this man's single-minded rant, no one else was able to provide feedback. Why must people beat an issue to death when they are in a public forum?
