Interview with Dr. Javier Mejia

December 21 / 2017

Stage: c) taking action

Today, I went to see Dr. Javier Mejia, the director of pediatrics of the Clinica del Country, I considered him to be a good source because he is a pediatrician, and he is supposed to know about every part of the human body, including the brain. The interview went smoothly, and he answered the questions very nicely and enthusiastically, however, I will not be carrying out anymore interviews because I am already too far along on my process, and I don't actually believe this interviews will help in the development of my book because the questions I designed were not very specific, meaning this interview was the first and last of my project.
