Today I had a dream to see and talk with Dr. Koichi Tanaka again after 27 years, who was once my doctor when I had my throat surgery.
Dr. Tanaka is really a well known doctor for living donor liver transplant surgery, and when I had the operation, he was in the Department of Thoracic and Pediatric Surgery at Kyoto University Hospital.
In this dream we met by chance in a hallway of Kyoto University Hospital.
I said, "This is a really nostalgic place for me, before he said something in response that I can't remember now,
but the phrase he uttered made me feel that he probably doesn't remember me because he has had too many patients since then.
Soon after, Dr. Tanaka said, "Shall we have a drink?" and I answered yes, while the four of us, including me, Dr. Tanaka,
my closest friend from my medical school days, and someone I can't figure out who he is, walked down to the entrance of the building.
Then only Dr.Tanaka turned around and went back to another entrance of the building where the sign said "Dermatological Association",
while the three of us continued to walk forward and one of us said, "What will happen to me regarding him?
and I replied, "I think we will become close friends with him."
