Tiko Kerr gives painting to doctor who saved his life

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Back in 2005 when Health Canada wouldn't license some experimental HIV treatments, Dr. Julio Montaner probably never expected he would ever receive a painting from Tiko Kerr, who was dying of advanced HIV infection.

      However, Montaner succeeded with a noisy campaign to get the drugs approved. They ended up saving Kerr's life. And four years later at St. Paul's Hospital, Kerr offered thanks by presenting a painting to Montaner in appreciation of his efforts.
