Medical Principle Co., Ltd., a medical subsidiary of Creek & River Co., Ltd., has published the November issue of DOCTOR’S MAGAZINE, a human document magazine for the medical industry. Doctors Magazine Website:https://www.doctor-agent.com/service/doctors-magazine The lead article, “Portraits of Doctors,” features Dr. Norihiro Kunito, Chairman of the National Institute for Health Risk Management. Dr. Kunito, a gastroenterological surgeon specializing in the liver, has performed more than 300 liver transplants since the early days of living donor liver transplantation in Japan. Inspired by his father, a surgeon, he himself aspired to become a doctor and went on to study at the University of Tokyo’s Faculty of Medicine. After graduating, while treating many patients with liver cirrhosis, he decided he wanted to perform transplant surgery one day and embarked on the path of liver surgery. In 1989, when Japan’s first living donor liver transplant took place, Dr. Kunido was inspired by the liver resection he witnessed performed by his mentor, liver surgery specialist Masatoshi Makunouchi, and honed his liver resection skills. His passion for safe and reliable surgery grew stronger, and his group developed and popularized 3D simulation, which led to its standardization. It is now covered by health insurance and serves as the foundation for laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery. In 2017, Dr. Kunido became president of the National Center for Global Health and Medicine, and during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, he played a major role in collaboration with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases. Even now, as president of the National Institute for Health Risk
Management, he continues to work in outpatient clinics, facing the patients in front of him with sincerity and dedication. We followed his story. In addition, in “Challenger,” we featured Naoki Nishio, a head and neck surgeon who is developing a voice conversion application to help people who have lost their voice due to vocal cord removal regain their voice. In this second installment, “Let ChatGPT do it for you!”, we introduce how to use ChatGPT as a “paper analysis expert” to streamline preparations for paper reading sessions. In “Nakano-do, the Hard-Selling Bookstore,” we introduce three books that will make you think about what academic qualifications mean. This month, we are once again introducing doctors and medical corporations active across the country from various perspectives. Please take a look.
