If you could have dinner with a historical figure, who would it be and why?

I would be honored to have dinner with Mother Teresa. Her unwavering commitment to serving the impoverished and vulnerable deeply inspires my medical journey. Discussing her approach to healing, which emphasized empathy, dignity, and kindness, would be incredibly enriching. Her influence is a cornerstone of my practice, reminding me that true healing extends beyond physical treatment.
