There's only one person related to medicine that i really admire, his name is Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov, a surgeon that was born in Siberia on March 14, 1934.
During an Antarctic expedition, when he was 27 years old, he developed an acute appendicitis, but he was the only doctor on the expedition, so he had to remove his own appendix. It was an extreme situation, a matter of death or life. I think this situation turns Leonid into an example for every surgeon, because he had to perform an appendectomy on himself! In fact, his surgery is one of the most famous case of self-surgery in the world.
I really admire him because of his determination. It is very useful during the medical practice. In the future, as a doctor, i will face a lot of difficult situations, maybe not so extreme as the previous one, but difficult anyway, and i have to be able to overcam them as Leonid Rogozov did it before.
