http://www.ucalgary.ca/UofC/faculties/medicine/PARHAD/people.htm Look at what he did out of love for her (2nd to last and last paragraphs). ------------------------------------ Arthur W. Clark, M.D. Director, Dr. Irma M. Parhad Programmes (On leave until Fall 2004) Dr. Arthur Clark is a Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Calgary, with an appointment in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and cross-appointment in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences. He is an active staff neuropathologist (Calgary Laboratory Services) and works at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary. Dr. Clark is a citizen of Canada and of the United States. In 1971-1973 he served as a Captain in the United States Army Medical Corps, stationed for 13 months in South Korea. As with many other veterans of the US armed forces, it was during his time in military service that he woke up politically. In 1973 he met Dr. Irma Parhad, when the two were neurology residents in Albany, New York. Dr. Parhad was born in Mosul, Iraq and attended high school in Baghdad prior to college and medical school in the United States. They married in 1978 and served together on the faculty at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. In late 1984, they moved to Calgary to establish a program for research in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and joined the faculty at the University of Calgary. After 1990, two events changed the course of Dr. Clark’s life and work: The first was Iraq’s August 1990 invasion of Kuwait and the related shift in U.S. foreign policy. The second was Dr. Parhad’s illness and death from metastatic cancer 1993-1994. Dr. Clark helped establish and direct a lectureship in Irma’s memory which began in 1995. In 2001, a roundtable and summer studentship were added to the lectureship. The Dr. Irma M. Parhad Programmes at the University of Calgary are concerned with conditions that influence health and well being worldwide, and ways to improve those conditions within a framework of international law. In March 2000, Dr. Clark with other Canadians testified on the economic sanctions against Iraq before Parliament’s Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade (SCFAIT). This led to SCFAIT’s unanimously adopted Fifth report calling for a separation of military from economic sanctions and an early end to economic sanctions, and re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Iraq. The event also marked the founding of the Canadian Network to End Sanctions on Iraq (CANESI), probably the first national network in the world for the purpose of coordinating efforts nationally to oppose the destructive western policies based on sustained hostility to the government of Iraq. Dr. Clark’s major interests include a search for ways to promote active and responsible citizenship in support of a healthier global community and human creative potential. He directs the Dr. Irma M. Parhad Programmes at the University of Calgary and works with many others in matters related to public affairs and foreign policy. --------------------- |
