would you believe it?



             Long time ago in 19th century or perhaps before that time, people in Europe were afraid of loosing their family dead body that had been buried in the graveyard, because there were people who liked to steal them in the night in order to sold that dead body to the students of the medical school. Since each year the students were only able to have one body, in fact they needed more. So they ordered them to the corpse thief.
            The corpse thieves found a problem because the family increased their effort in guarding their family grave by using fence, and using locked coffins. However they looked at another way, they waited for dying people to die and their body will directly brought to the buyer.
            They then found that it would take longer time to wait some ill people to visit them and wait until the death take them, so they made them die for them. They killed the lonely people and send the body to the buyer.
            They were getting creative by bringing “the-still-alive-drunk-people” to the buyer and killed them there, that is disgusting. But, it was not going well, for some neighbor found some dead body in the murderer’s room that then made them caught by the police.
            One of the murderers was hang to death and the other was being in the operation process live in front of the public, then his skull is still shown and used in one medical school in Europe.

They are Doctors and I am a Teacher

I got this serial from my sister that somehow love Japanese dorama after I introduced “nobuta wo produce” to her. So I spent a day and a night to watch it in my room.
It was a serial about 4 interns doctor who applied for a doctor heli program in their university hospital. It was a program which the doctors will be sent over to the accident site using the helicopter to give the very first help to the victims.
While watching it I related them into my own life as a teacher in the future. Because I see the job of teacher is as important and honorable as a doctor.
I quoted one point there when a senior doctor told one of the interns that “what we do to the patient will affect on our future also the patient future.
One of the characters was Aizawa sensei, a coolheaded doctor who calmly make a decision about what should be done to the victims, whether there will be an operation or not. He used his knowledge to decide it. A senior doctor asked him why he did not raise his hand when he asked who want to be in the helicopter, and he calmly answered “I want to get to the helicopter with my hand and skill”.
Can you think of something in that way. I probably will raise my hand to take the change to be in the helicopter, also to show the others that I have a skill to do it and that I have the confidence. Without making sure of my skill first. Do you ever do that? I don’t think that showing your intention and confidence to others are wrong. But it is more awesome if the people realize your talent or skill by showing it to them, rather than to show your confidence and higher motivation.
Well, do I make my self clear?
No mistake is tolerated. Because when you misdiagnose the patient illnesses, the next procedure will be a danger to them, can cause a death.
That is why one of the interns , Shiraishi sensei, took books in her pocket to be read in her free time. She kept learning in order not to make a wrong decision or wrong diagnose on her patients. But, a nurse, Saejima-san, said that the things that they will fid in the real life is more than what written in the books.
Yeah, it is true.
What we are going to find in the real life is more complicated than the theory that you’ll find in the book.
Just the same with teacher, theories of learning and teaching that you learnt all the year will not completely that easier to apply in the real class. But you still need to use it as reference or at least as your guide to make a deal with the real class.
Everyone is unique and irreplaceable. Why I said that? since in this life there are people with talent and skill and not good at interacting with people, however there are also people who are good at interacting with people without specific talent. Take a look at this serial. Aizawa-sensei was a talented doctor and also reliable that everyone believe in him in making decision while dealing with the patient and the operation process. And then also take a look at Shiraishi-sensei, a doctor that at first cannot make a decision, but keep learning. And then Hiyama-sensei, a doctor that take a great concern and attention to the patients, she cannot let the patient to be abandoned or ignored by their family. She easily sympathized with the condition of the patients.
There are mood maker people in our life. Just like Fujiyama-sensei, an intern doctor that easily get closed with the patients because of his “innocence” that somehow make him easily get bullied by the patients.
