Do you know Eugene Aksenoff?
This is a photo of him.
If you don't know him and you want to know about him more, please read this.
He is a special doctor in Tokyo and he is called 'Akahige'.
I knew him when I read the book that the nurse of his hospital had written for the first time.
Although he is 84 years now, he is still working and helping people. I respect him.
When he was 18 years, he met Japanese Royal family.
Japanese royal family said that he must go to Japan if he wants to be a doctor.
Then he decided to go to Japan and studied Medical in Japanese college.
According to the book, he had worked hard in Japan to get money.
Now, there is his hospital in Roppongi.
If you go to Roppingi, you see foreigners in there.
Foreigners who can't speak Japanese go to the doctor's hospital.
Because the doctor speaks Japanese and English , Russian etc.
On the other hand,
He goes to anywhere if somebody need medical treatment.
Dr.Akesenoff got the win of Eiji Yoshikawa pride in 1998.
The doctor is so famous among foreigners.
He met a lot of famous people and he fixed them.
For example,
- John Wayne
- Brad Pitt
- Michael Jackson
- Jacques Chirac
- Madonna etc
John Wayne is the first famous person that the doctor met.
When he had came to Japan to make the movie,
he hurt his eyes.
He asked his manager to fix his eyes.
Joh Wayne was in Odawara of Kanagawa pref.
Although Doctor was in Tokyo, he got on the train for 3 hours at midnight.
Finally, he arrived the hotel where John Wayne stayed.
Then he tried to shoot the injection.
But John Wayne was afraid of injections!!!
Doctor said that you must not be better without injections.
Then John Wayne gave up and his eyes were better.
After that, he thanked the doctor.
When he came to Tokyo,
he invited the doctor's family and they enjoyed having dinner.
But the doctor doesn't know famous movies stars and singers at all.
He doesn't often watch TV or movies because he is too busy.
He reads only some newspapers and books every day.
If you read the book, you must laugh!
For example,
the doctor didn't know about Brad Pitt.
The nurse told the doctor that he is famous in the world.
Then the doctor asked him to his job!!!
Brad Pitt said that he is working about the movie.
Of course , Brad Pitt was so surprised.
I like the chapter about Michel Jackson especially.
Of course, the doctor didn't know him.
He had always called from the luxury hotel.
The request was helping one singer.
The doctor and his nurse went to there and they met one singer.
Yes. That is Michel Jackson.
While fixing Michel Jackson, the room was dark without any lights.
The doctor tried to open the curtain.
But Michel Jackson didn't want to do that.
Michel Jackson was so tired.
He must take a rest.
Of course ,
then the nurse shouted in the elevator.
But the doctor didn't know why she was excited at all and he was calm.
She told him that he is a star and showed the dance of Michel Jackson to the doctor.
Yes, dance was Moonwalk!!!
Anyway,
Michel Jackson often meet the doctor when he visited in Tokyo.
The doctor fixes his children, too.
They are friends since the doctor had fixed for the first time.
I like his character because he keeps helping poor foreigners.
Even if they can't money, he fixes them without money.
I think it is right that he is called 'Akahige'.
What do you think about him?

I'm glad to discover that Dr Aksenoff is still well and working in Tokyo. I was another of his patients when I was living in Tokyo in 1996.
It's nice to think that I had the same doctor as John Wayne :-)
Hi,David!
Thank you for reading my blog and comment!
Wow.
You met the doctor!
I think the doctor is so great.
I hope Japanese doctors like him increase.
Because some of Japanese doctors can't speak English.
