『相変わらず熱い上五島 ―a Great Small Island―』
『島の内科医が島外で結婚式を挙げる』とのことで、大勢の人が式に出席するために島を離れてしまう上五島にて、今日から応援診療を開始。
相変わらずの義理人情の篤さに感動したのも束の間、1人の急患が運び込まれる事態に。
症例は、『高齢やせ型女性』に典型的なものでした。
定時の外来診療を終えた後の緊急手術であったにもかかわらず、医師たちの間に悲壮感は全くなし。
その冷静さと熱意、そしてチームワークは、まるで青山大学の駅伝チームを見ているようでした。
篤くて、熱い上五島は、今なお健在です。
Now, I’m staying in Kamigoto island, a small island that is located in nearby Nagasaki prefecture.
Interestingly enough, I heard that many of islanders will soon temporarily leave the island in order to attend a wedding ceremony for the island’s physician.
How warm-hearted they are!
Such being the case, the medical assistance has begun in the island and I’ve participated in it as a locum doctor from today.
As soon as we finished routine outpatient care, a female urgent patient was wheeled into a hospital.
The case was the one that is typical for slim, elderly females and we performed emergency surgery immediately.
In spite of the situation, there was no pessimistic atmosphere among them. They struggled with the operation with ardor and calmness, and great teamwork.
They looked as if they were the members of a well united and trained marathon team!
