Condoleezza Rice recalls growing up in Birmingham, Alabama in the late 1950s and early 1960s during segregation. She describes her parents as extraordinary people that believed firmly in education, who instilled in her that there was nothing she couldn't accomplish. Rice discusses how studying the Soviet Union and military affairs in college was how she got into international politics, and recounts the first time she met Mikhail Gorbachev when advising George H.W. Bush on how to handle the collapse of the Soviet Union. Rice reflects on her time as Secretary of State under George W. Bush from 2005 to 2009.
Rice was born on November 14, 1954, in Birmingham, Alabama. She earned her bachelor of arts in political science in 1974 from the University of Denver, her master's degree in political science from the University of Notre Dame in 1975, and her doctorate in political science from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. After her graduation, Rice accepted a position at Stanford University as a professor of political science. In 1987 she served as an advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and in 1989 was appointed director of Soviet and East European Affairs on the National Security Council. Rice returned to Stanford in 1991 and from 1993 until 1999 she served as Stanford's Provost. In 2001 she was appointed National Security Advisor by President George W. Bush, and succeeded Colin Powel as Secretary of State in 2005 and served until 2009. As Secretary of State, Rice supported the expansion of democratic governments, and championed the idea of "Transformational Diplomacy," which sought to redistribute U.S. diplomats to areas of severe social and political trouble, address such issues as disease, drug smuggling and human trafficking, and reemphasize aid through the creation of the position of Director of Foreign Assistance. Rice authored - No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington (2011).
From the 2013 PBS Documentary “Makers: Women Who Make America”, examines how women have helped shape America over the past 150 years, striving for a full and fair share of political power and economic opportunity.

Thank you for sharing life experiences that matter knowing. On July 2002 there was an effort to create a COMPASSIONATE AGENDA "out of the harm that was done to the nation". There was unfortunately too many people competing for the same 'turf" according to the President's speech. Trying to put people together is never easy and one important part is to figure out what happens at the trenches of the society, places such as hospitals in New York City. One particularly relevant place is New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation which is a group of Hospitals serving collectively some of the most affluent and some of the poorest areas of the country. My experience working there as a certified medical doctor for more than a year during the "compassionate agenda" can be used to improve aspects that I believe need to be addressed today beyond two political parties. People need to start thinking rather as a nation. I can prove, for instance that the federal crime of health insurance fraud was rampant at a time when the country was going through a period of trying to heal some wounds. For instance, I can demonstrate that the act of cutting ONE patient's with an incision of 180 degrees around the neck (superficial cut) was fraudulent in nature. It was approved by someone sabotaging the Compassionate Agenda to try to make believe the doctor in training ( the "toy dog") that the use of psychotropic drugs for life to that patient was something acceptable" under the narrative that "the patient was bipolar and he had a "street altercation". The act of cutting the neck to that patient was an act of conspiracy against the "compassionate agenda" because it must have involved at least two skilled areas of the medical profession an it was no joke but a vile act to try to intimidate the American cuban doctor in training. There were cases of multiple amputations which were not necessary in my opinion and I remember the case of medical coma induced medically with risks for imminent death for the patient...same mistake repeated over and over until the probable iatrogenic death of the patient. Examples of excessive hospitalizations time was common and it was fraudulent in nature not to mention a bad precedent against civil rights. Besides the act of trying to intimidate, it is clear those hospitalizations were done to systematically collect payments of the government for something that can be described as medical insurancce fraud. I remember another example of trying to use medications with a high possibility of malformations on a young pregnant African American woman, presumably due to racism. Those acts were paired with a not suttle harassment in the form of alarms with more than one hundred decibels of noise in practically all the rooms where I was serving my patient. The reports are that the hospital at that time (Lincoln) had invested millions in a new alarms and cameras system. GPS to map the precise location of where was the "toy dog doctor" at all times was obviously used to try to create situations of sleep deprivation. Alarms are common in hospitals but when you combine them with a tracking technoligy that triggers alarms everywhere the "toy dog doctor" is moving to try to serve patients, what we have then is a sophisticated form of trying to remove compassion among all of us who have it. In some instances the sleep deprivation exceeded the 30 hours which is not acceptable when your job is to have the mental clarity to be able to serve well to your fellow American. Exposing the same doctor (s) in training systematically to that noise for more than a year is like to try to removed compassion from his or her motivation. The cases of Excessive hospitalization of up to more than three months is not necessary for people in stable conditions who were ready, willing and able to serve society in different functions and the lack of communication between some "Attendings" (some presumably under the payroll of "agencies" were creating contradictory communication with doctors in training which indicate a deliberate act to try to create confusion and to eventually remove every sense of compassion from the trainee. Let's see the document to the Federal Court where I attach evidence of my complaint about these unethical acts.. .District of NJ Docket 10-cv-94494, exhibits: 318-319-320-321- 322 and others. Thank you Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for allowing me to go through this experience and to be able to describe it today.
