"Almost everyone knows that years ago I began my career as a doctor. And when I began as a doctor, when I began to study medicine, the majority of the concepts I have today [1960], as a revolutionary, were absent from my store of ideals. Like everyone, I wanted to succeed. I dreamed of becoming a famous medical research scientist; I dreamed of working indefatigably to discover something which would be used to help humanity, but which signified a personal triumph for me. I was, as we all are, a child of my environment." (MONTHLY REVIEW) In this article, famed revolutionary Che Guevara, in a speech delivered on Aug. 19, 1960, explains that a revolutionary doctor is "a man who utilizes the technical knowledge of his profession in the service of the revolution and the people."
