Erin Mary McLain graduated from the University of Arizona, she moved to a rural community on the edge of Arizona's Fort Apache Reservation to fulfill her dream of community service through helping the less fortunate. She only got to practice 21 months before her life was taken from her by a medical error after a tonsillectomy. Erin received many plaques for academic achievement. When she died, it was found that most of the boxes remained unopened. She hadn't cared about awards. Her only goal had been to become the best pediatrician she could possibly be. "If we have healthy children, we have healthy adults." Erin Mary McLain
