Yesterday I visited the Shiga medical university for volunteer activity.We volunteers play a role of fake patients for medical students so that they can learn more practical situation.My pretended disease is a depression which I've ever actually suffered about a decade ago.

Unlike other disease,this disease is much harder for students to treat since it requires not only medical knowledge but also consulting skill.It's like their Achilles heel !I advised them referring to recent background situation that doctors are tend to be concentrated on major cities,they should pay more attention to cover what is lacking in things they face like offering onself to be a rural area's doctor.THen such an attitude may lead to fill the blank of patient's mind more effectively,as well.

My graduated highshool was a subsidery of a medical university in TOkyo,but to my great disappointment most of my colleagues who became doctors are concentrated only on metropolitan district.

When I was suffering it,I really worried if my life from that time might be all ruined because of my being totally helpless with few motivation and energy for things I should do.However,it's also true that what I am now owes much to my past hardship I faced and managed to overcome.

THough I'm fully recoverd now and became more active and energetic than others on the contrary,our society seems to be directed opposite way by increasing the number of such patients.People are seeking more profit with harder business situation that made them sick with much stress.

One thing I learned from my past hardship is being "Only One" is more important than being "Number One" as popular Japanese song says.
