Bess Diana’s death.

do something about it,” said John Ackerly, the cam
paign’s director. “I’m proud Hollywood has told the
truth about Tibet.”
Tibet’s cause has become a favorite of actors,
including Richard Gere, Harrison Ford, Steven Sea
gal and Uma Thurman.
In 47 years of rule in Tibet, China has failed to
quell support for independence.
Last year, it launched a campaign to discredit
the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader.
The movie gained attention earlier this year
when it was learned that Pitt’s character, explorer
Heinrich Harrer, was linked to the Nazi party.
The film is based on Harrer’s book on the years
he spent as an adviser, teacher and friend of the
Dalai Lama after he escaped from a British POW
camp in India and trekked to Tibet in 1944.

“ As a young family with three
children, we can relate to our patients.
We’ve experienced the good
and the bad, and know how health
issues can affect everyone in the
family. That’s why we like to treat
the whole family concentrating on
pregnancy, infants and pediatrics. We
also enjoy meeting and treating
Aggies of all ages. We are familiar
with the Brazos Valley and its
residents, having attended medical
school in Houston and serving our
residency just down the road in
Conroe. Having also practiced
abroad, we have developed a
sensitivity to treating people from
diverse cultural backgrouds. We try
to treat each patient like family.”
