And If there are a chance, I want to offer it. In the other sense,I have not forgot this experience. Mr. Hirano who taught Japanese in a public senior high school in Hiroshima-shi was absent from an entrance ceremony of new appointment school to become the starting point of teacher life. The reason is because I was hospitalized then in order to offer marrow liquid to an unknown patient suffering from illness of blood through marrow bank. Mr. Hirano belonged to a volunteer group of Hiroshima student Red Cross service group from the university times and registered myself with marrow bank quickly. The same type of a white blood corpuscle called HLA is needed to offer marrow liquid for an patient waiting for bone marrow transplantation. It is marrow bank that examine HLA of offering applicant beforehand, and will register with that purpose. Mr.Hirano,when he registered It was each gathered blood as the second test as the first test several months later in case of registration, and depended on a patient to conform to, and Mr. Hirano became it. Mr.Hirano laid emphasis on the spread of sports of Southern Asia of "Kabaddi"in Hiroshima the Asian Games while he aimed at a teacher . When the Asian games was over,he got a letter to want to decide the date of next the third test from a coordinator of marrow bank . Mr. patient with the possibility that HLA conformed to surfaced concretely. As a result of test, the offering of marrow liquid did formal decision and the last agreement. I felt very happy to help but it came out to have been troubled. He passed an employment examination of senior high school teacher. But the starting for the new post time to a senior high school, and the hospitalization period for around 4 days becoming necessary in case of marrow liquid collection conflicts happened at the same time. But the Board of Education and a principal understood it agreeably,too. And it is a day of marrow liquid collection. I received general anesthesia for collection from a waist. "General anesthesia included an image to be fearful, but there was not the uneasiness to it itself". I waked up completely in the evening of that day, and there was no influence in health afterwards. Stick to new former disciples on that day, I explained "It operated to put up spirit of oneself ". Mr.Hirano says,"It's not a question of importance.It's the same as when I used to donate blood." And I say that I intend to offer marrow liquid with pleasure if there is a chance again. |
