2 NOEL FUSTER: Hello. My name
3 is Noel Fuster.
4 I don't have the knowledge or
5 the know-how to opt really for any good
6 solutions or anything like that, but I can
7 offer one thing, and that's experience. My
8 experience has shown me that a lot of times
9 doctors do have the way of knowing what's
10 wrong. One example, me, they found a virus
11 or some type of sickness, and it could have
12 been any number of things. I could have had
13 a cold, a sore throat, or anything, but
14 within really human error, or I don't know
15 exactly what happened, I was suddenly
16 diagnosed with gonorrhea.
17 I got a multitude of shots. I
18 could go all into that explanation, but it's
19 just I feel if you have a solution,
20 scientists, let's have an answer, but people
21 will end up finding a way to kind of mess
22 that up somehow, you know, and the way, I
23 guess, our emotions carry us or what-not, I
24 think it's really important to try to get the
25 message out to people, and we can find a
78
1 way, but even if we had the way of finding
2 out, would we still get the answer out there
3 and would the right things be done?
4 People most of the time do the
5 right things that need to be done, but I'm
6 glad there's so much care and so much, you
7 know, want to do something, and something
8 needs to be done, something needs to be done.
9 THE MODERATOR: Do you have any
10 ideas from all of your experience?
11 MR. FUSTER: My ideas?
12 THE MODERATOR: Yes.
13 MR. FUSTER: No. I'm afraid --
14 I'm only nineteen years old, so I don't think
15 I can come up here and try to be anything I'm
16 not, but I guess the only idea is I felt -- I
17 don't know. You know, I felt during my whole
18 thing with people, sometimes people want to
19 be right so bad that they don't care how they
20 go about it, and they don't care what they
21 do. They have seen the answer; they know
22 what it is; so, they block off everything
23 else. You know, we don't know everything,
24 you know? We don't know everything, so, you
25 know, open-mindedness, that's it. I think if
79
1 people were just a little bit more
2 open-minded and kind of let themselves feel
3 things out, then we might get a lot more done
4 by not having so narrow a view.
