My Mentor Recovery

A few days ago, a meeting was held in a hotel in Kyoto to encourage a doctor.



It was a mentor that I have looked up to for many years, more than three decades. He was diagnosed with a serious disease last year and underwent surgery. He is still undergoing chemotherapy, but his condition has stabilized. What a relief. His supervisor, thus, planned this meeting.

My mentor seemed to be in better health than I had expected. However, his voice was a little hoarse and he had lost weight. He had always been a wine lover, but he only sipped the champagne toast, the white wine served in the first half, and a few sips of the red wine served in the second half.

His closing remarks were impressive. It seems that he will be hosting a meeting in a few years when he is fully recovered. I look forward to attending the celebration and drinking a lot of wine together!
