Political Burnout

Campbell

Early on, my practice wasn't so terribly busy, and so I could do a few things like this, but by 1987, it became so incredibly busy that I didn't want to do any of it. I was really burned out of any of those political activities by 1987.

Hughes

Did you drop out at that point?

Campbell

I sort of dropped out. I've continued to be a member of BAPHR, but my [medical practice] partner, Wayne Bayless, retired in the fall of '87, and the practice responsibilities became incredibly onerous. I was probably an officer in BAPHR and doing a little bit with the Scientific Affairs Committee in 1987-1988. What was the latest publication of this booklet? 1989, yes, I was actually working on that in 1989. It really became a hardship. I was working harder than I wanted to.

Hughes

According to your CV, you were a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the AIDS Foundation until 1990.

Campbell

Yes, but not very much into it. Those dates might be stretched a bit. It was mainly about '84 to '86 that I was very active on that committee.

Hughes

According to your CV, '86 is the last year that you were on the Scientific Affairs Committee of BAPHR.

Campbell

That's probably not accurate. I think that I probably got them turned around. I think probably '84 to '86 would have been the Scientific Advisory Committee of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and probably '82 to 1990 would be the BAPHR Scientific Affairs Committee.
