Lately, I have found myself enjoying a daily visit to the surgery reviews section of the hospital website, a corner I used to overlook and pass by in the past.
For someone like me, whose memories of exchanging love letters with a pounding heart have long faded into the distance, the surgery reviews on the website have become the only channel through which heartwarming news arrives after a long time.
Long ago, I seem to remember that poet Park In-hwan's poem "Face" began like this.
"The reason is that I do not want to become someone who lives like all of us, forgotten faces"
Every day, I meet many people here at the hospital, consult with them, perform surgeries, and also follow up on their progress, but at times there are many cases where I cannot remember each one individually and they become forgotten connections.
However, the warm stories from people I occasionally welcome through the hospital surgery review board serve as a link that firmly and newly reconnects ties that might otherwise have been forgotten.
Once again today, I sincerely hope that because of the connection with me, happy times will always be waiting ahead, and I deeply wish that you may fully enjoy this season's tearfully beautiful autumn sky and clear sunlight.
