Dr.
Noguchi's Journey: A Life of Medical Search and Discovery.
Atsushi Kita.
Translated by Peter Durfee.
Kodansha America (June 1, 2005)
The story of Hideyo Noguchi's rise from poor farm boy to famous
medical pioneer is a true rags-to-riches story. Born into a family
of struggling sharecroppers in a village in the snow country of
northern Japan, Noguchi, as a small child, suffered a serious burn
which turned his left hand into a useless stump and inflicted
permanent scars on his personality. A skillful doctor, however,
later operated on this hand, allowing him to use it again to some
extent, and inspiring him to pursue a career in medicine himself
(from the publisher). |
