Text H. An Interesting Meeting
Twice a month we hold different group meetings at which we discuss many problems of our student’s life or have political talks.
But this time it was not an ordinary meeting. We were going to meet one of the former students of our Institute. Now he is working as the Head of the Chair of Surgery. He is a professor and a very talented surgeon. Everybody considers that he is a qualified specialist in the field of heart surgery. He devotes much time to scientific work and is the author of numerous articles on the surgical treatment of some heart diseases.
That’s why we were so excited. We were talking about the coming meeting and preparing the questions which we were going to ask Prof. Lukin.
Soon the door opened and the man whom we were waiting for entered the room. Our excited talk stopped and the meeting began. First of all our Komsomol group organizer greeted (приветствовал) Prof. Lukin and asked him to tell us something about his work.
After graduation from the Institute Prof. Lukin got his work appointment to a small hospital. His first patient was a ten-year-old girl. The girl needed an operation badly. When he was preparing for the operation he felt great ex­citement. But when he began to operate he thought only of his responsibility for the girl’s life. How happy he was when he understood that he saved the girl!
There were many difficulties in his work as he had no experience but his elder colleagues were always ready to help him. He worked hard for several years. Sometimes he did not achieve successful results but he considered that his work of a surgeon was the only true work for him.
At the end of the meeting we thanked Prof. Lukin heartily. The meeting was so interesting that no one wanted to leave the hall.
