and they can start representing a broader patient
community. Very often they don’t know how to do
that, but it’s just that they have unlimited passion
because of a certain tragic story that they try to
bring forward and help others in that space.”
It’s in this spirit that people like Ramana and many
others have shown that, because we are all patients, we must also all be advocates. Not a difficult
bridge to cross, and one that more companies are
traversing every day. •
