AN INCREDIBLY BRAVE DOCTOR

I like the texts because it is interesting.  This texts tell us about a doctor, Dr John Knox.  He was young, had just turned 28 and was practising in Australia.He decided that he had a mission to fulfill as a volunteer with Doctors without Borders.  He went to serve nine month in Congo.He had only the equipment that he carried in his shoulder bag.  There was also a lnguage barrier but he could speak some Portuguese and that helped. Their mission was to send doctors to war or disaster zones. Why do the doctors choose to do this extremely ardous task? These are doctors with special mission.  They do not want to work in air-conditioned and cosy clinics and deal with rich patients who are worried about their nose or shape of body.These are doctors who have been dealing with dying AIDS patients , care for federal  prisoners and work with patients who have lost all hope and resources.

  1. The things that attracts me about this text is the courage of this doctor. Many people believe that courageous individuals have no fear.They are wrong.Eddie Richenbacher puts it very well when he said,"There is no courage without fear". We all have fears, however not everyone becomes subservient to their fears.There is, very likely, something you have wanted to do for years: move to another citty, start your business, apply for better position. Whatever it is, you should do it.Remember, life is not a practice run.This is it.A little courage leads to more. What do you think?

    The meaning of slung is "rope or chains for hang something". Ang the meaning of merely tiptoe is just "berjengket" :)

  6. Aida.....observing those poor souls who are without courage. They merely tiptoe through life, hoping they make it safely to death (Amirah)
