country in Africa and all we had were
beef, sheep and pigs,” he explains.
Since he left in 1991, Follwell has
returned twice to his native Zimbabwe,
where his brother still lives. “With the
current elections, how it will look, I’m
not sure,” he says. “The new president
has to get rid of corruption and get the
economy back. The politics there can be
very aggressive. When I left, it was two
Zimbabwe dollars for one American
dollar. Now it is 100 trillion to one. The
money is worthless and all you see
everywhere are (American) one-dollar and
two-dollar bills. There was wi-fi that was
encrypted and at no charge. In the past,
protesters used it to organize riots until
the government turned it off. Freedom of
speech is not freedom of speech.”
If they can keep up with him, Follwell
enjoys mentoring future doctors. He has
two high school students who shadow
him but don’t have interaction with
patients. He also has two Florida State
University medical students who observe
and interact with patients. Two physician’s
assistants are mentored as well.
“I love teaching students,” Follwell says
before rising from his chair to see his next
patient.
