Dr. Paul Frymoyer, a Manlius, New York-based nephrologist admires this passage from Thomas Paine. It is his favorite quote—the sequence of words that defines his life’s perspective, adhering to which has led him to undergo a compelling journey to a distant territory, in the company of a foreign people.

That a man such as Dr. Frymoyer would adopt a perspective such as Thomas Paine’s is not at all strange. If given the opportunity, he would have enjoyed shaking the hand of men like Barrack Obama, Franklin Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill—leaders all. On the other hand, Paine may not have been a leader in terms of political position, but some of his works influenced his people to work toward ushering change and freedom through the American Revolution.

Similarly, Dr. Paul Frymoyer holds no political post, but his journey to Africa would have made any great leader proud. Some time ago, he travelled to Malawi for the second time with his wife, and practiced his profession among natives who often lacked the resources to afford medical attention. His skills and expertise came to great use, especially in the diagnosis of conditions like malaria and diabetes, and in the treatment of a large number of diseases among children and adults alike.
Indeed, Dr. Frymoyer did not lead people to war, or lift economies from upheavals, but he acted the way any leader would have and effected change in his own way.
