I believe she was in Medical doctors With out Borders. She was in all probability in Somalia when Black Hawk Down occurred. She in all probability slept with one of many Rolling Stones.”
Steinberg shared with us, “Joan is a tricky, old-school feminist, large believer in feminine empowerment and self-made and a very fascinating, eccentric persona. She is double boarded in inside medication and surgical procedure and has traveled the world doing Medical doctors With Borders sort of medication, so she’s been all around the world, she’s extraordinarily adventurous and certain of herself. She’s powerful and exacting on the opposite docs in the same strategy to how Amy is, however she’s smoother with how she does it. So she’s a bit extra carrot-and-stick, whereas Amy was sort of all stick. Amy discovered and watched Joan, however she kind of took the stick half and didn’t take a lot of the carrot half by way of how she labored along with her employees.”
