路竹會#298 高雄屏東義診

這次的高屏義診很特別. 除了是路程最遠之外，這次資深義工董大哥親自帶隊確保行程和大家的安全, 三天有不同的主治醫師看診，有三位很優秀的醫學生可以一起討論cases, 與facebook多年朋友但一直沒機會見面的中國醫實習醫師Betty見面, 有緣認識一位去過十幾個國家的福建背包客Earo，有位白雪公主的精神支柱Jane，有Amy姐請的辦桌(謝謝Amy姐), 有姝廷這位很利害有夢想的烘焙師，有機會跟二姐深入聊，坐車時認識去過20多國家義診的彰基NP學姐, 和認識許多其他好夥伴.

A Single Tread in the Tapestry

     What does it take to make a difference? An important reason why I chose to become a doctor is to help others, the ones who need others’ help. I see several homeless people on the streets, may it be at the underground crossroads, outside of the hospital or out on the streets. A good Samaritan or fellow citizen would give them some change or a bill to ease their miseries. Some even took the extra step and post on the internet for more people to notice. I gave them some spare change a couple of times. And I was delighted to find out that some are genuine. However, I also saw some who used the money to buy alcohol or cigarettes and some who faked their medical conditions. I was disappointed and went out to search for other ways to help the truly miserable people.
