I am planning to participate in the small group meeting held in the nearside of Lake Kawaguchi on November 1st. We should introduce ourselves each other at the opening ceremony. I might introduce myself as below.
I am a doctor of medicine and my specialty is Gastroenterology. My regular days would be doing Endoscopy procedures, attending the outpatients and the inpatients and also emergency patients during night duties. When I am free from duty, I have been learning to play the piano, taking voice lessons, playing golf and studying English conversation. I’m a very busy person but I truly enjoy my life.
Today I want to speak the reason why I became a doctor. I was bone in a farmer’s house and never think about becoming doctor.
to care the people who were suffered by many disease, especially Hansen’s disease, another name Leprosy. Everyone fear the disease, but he didn’t fear at all. I was impressed greatly by his sprit. And after many difficulties, I became a doctor as like him at a later age.
I am chicken-hearted and afraid of getting infection of disease. But I wish to go to Africa as like him, because I have becom a doctor just impressed by him. To realize my dream, I am planning to participate in MSF.
MSF was build up in 1971, by group of doctors and journalists aiming to establish an independent organization focused on emergency medicine and speaking out about the cause of human suffering. It is one of the world’s leading independent organization, giving medical care to people caught in crisis regardless of race, religion,or political affiliation. They works every day in all the world especially in Africa.
I am not young now, but there is no limits of ages. I was salvaged from age problem, but there was bigger problem. My wife offered a determined opposition for my plan about going Africa. I am now appealing to her for permission to do it patiently.
