...that you really work in teams nowadays. [In medical school] you learn the physiology of the body. And then you learn the diagnoses and the treatments. You could get all of those first steps right and your patient will still die. Because you weren't able to get the radiologist and the nurse and the rest of your team working in sync.

Raised by his mother, a nurse, Hector says he also feels close to his grandmother, who is in her 80s and still lives in Havana. But the tighter Cuba travel restrictions that President Bush imposed in 2004 means Hector can't visit his abuela as much as he used to - and he's voting for Obama in part because the Illinois Senator has promised to revoke the travel rules. "I've been thinking about that a lot since I heard Obama...
