New Book from Retired Epidemiologist Talks About Trusting Intuition Dr. Cornelia Davis, a retired epidemiologist, and medical consultant, recently talks about her life experience over the last three decades around Asia and Africa in preparation for the launch of her third book. The award-winning best-selling author of two books recounts her journey in preventing disease outbreaks in developing countries. Here she is in a smallpox supervisory meeting. The new discussion on Dr. Davis’ previous books, and the experiences she recalls there, comes when the world is currently experiencing its Covid-19 pandemic. Davis is retired now in the Lake Chapala area of Mexico. Her first book discusses how Davis worked with the World Health Organization (WHO) around India to eradicate smallpox in various communities in the country. The non-fiction book details Davis’s symbolic search for Sitala Mata, the Hindu smallpox goddess, and its positive conclusion. She says that her experience in India changed her focus from pediatrics to working in international public health in 20 countries. While medical doctors are constantly educating the public on the newer illnesses developing around the world, there is no guarantee that a fast-spreading and fatal disease will not mutate and affect them. Davis worked in 20 African and Asian countries. Here she is shown in Mongolia. . Dr. Davis says that the public can learn valuable lessons from her first book on smallpox about how to control the recent global medical phenomenon. Connie, as she is known to her friends, also recalls her experience in Ethiopia, during the time the country was experiencing its civil war and working to prevent epidemic meningitis. "Three Years in Ethiopia, How a Civil War and Epidemics Led Me to my Daughter", Davis' second book, became Amazon's best-selling book among new releases in eight categories. In the photo, Dr. Davis is performing the coffee ceremony in Ethiopia. All these experiences inspired Davis to write her third book, which will be released in April. The book encourages readers to trust their intuition and move out of their comfort zone. If you want anything in life to change, you must make the choice, to take the chance.
