MaameYaa Boafo: Abena Kwemo

Quotes 

• Abena Kwemo : These are your patients?

  Sharon Goodwin : They were my patients, yes. They died in the '80s. I was their nurse. It was a terrifying time. Some days, we lost two, three patients. See, we barely understood what AIDS was back then, let alone how to treat it.

  Abena Kwemo : I don't want to see these anymore.

  Sharon Goodwin : I know. It's hard, isn't it? I could only imagine who they might've been, what they might've done with their lives, if they had a chance. They had such promise.

  Abena Kwemo : These patients, how many of them died alone without their families?

  Sharon Goodwin : Far, far too many.

  Abena Kwemo : I don't want to live without my family.

  Sharon Goodwin : And I'm sure they don't want to live without you. I can see it in your aunt's eyes. I know that look. She's terrified of losing you. You're so young, Abena. Don't rob yourself of a future that these young people could only dream about. I lost a lot of patients. I don't wanna add you to this folder.
