Description

Dr. SueLin Hilbert is faculty member in the Department of Emergency Medicine. She shared a personal story of sharing a meal in Tibet.

Excerpt:

….As my mom and I picked through our caches of food and admired the tiny blue flowers that were scattered amongst the rocks, the group of women we had seen off in the distance had now made their way over and were speaking with our guide. They were particularly curious about why my mom looked “definitely” Chinese and I looked “sort of Chinese”, but clearly neither of us was from China. Of course, my mom and I also had questions for them, so with the help of our guide, we asked if they would like to share our lunch.
