The Curious Case Of Benjamin La Brot

floating0520.jpg

Dr. Benjamin La Brot is about to set sail on a 20,000 mile medical expedition to the most remote places on earth. Equipped with 9,000 pounds of medical gear, La Brot and his crew of 15 docs are circling the globe to teach doctors in developing countries about new medical technologies…all the while helping tens of thousands of patients in need.

Kurt breaks down how these self-described "floating doctors" are combining 21st century technology and the ancient technologies of wind and solar energy on this unique medical mission.

To keep up with the Floating Doctors, visit twitter.com/floatingdoctors or www.facebook.com.

Kurt's asking what's the farthest you have ever traveled to do a good deed? Tell him your answer at twitter.com/cyberguy.
