前回のトピックでは、僕が買ったBen CarsonのDVD、“Faithful Journey: The life and career of Dr. Ben Carson”の簡単な紹介をしました。そして、その中で僕の印象に残る言葉を紹介しました。今回はそのDVDの中からもう一つ言葉を紹介したいと思います(自分の分かる範囲でできるだけ正確に)。
“I look at it(healing gift) as a privilege to be endowed with the position and with gifts from God to be able to intervene in the lives of people who are desperately ill. The family who are shattered by the thought of their young child with intractable seizure, or brain tumors, or some other congenital anomaly, and you are able to enter the picture and, in many cases, turn the situation around, and instead of seeing devastated family, see people who are absolutely on top of the world as happy as they can be. And that's the thing that makes medicine worthwhile, that makes pediatric neurosurgery worthwhile in this capacity. And I wouldn't trade that for anything.”
