What I Think Now

　　Almost two months have passed since I finished my career as a general surgeon and started my second life as an industrial physician. I've been on a steep learning curve during these two months. The differences in manners and customs generating from the different business world are very exciting. The injuries and illnesses incidents to jobs are strictly supervised by the government and workers are protected from those with great care. I knew about that after taking up this profession. I wonder if other countries are like this. I often see the pictures of workers in many developing countries in National Geographic, and I feel that Japanese workers are blessed.

(Vocabulary)
I've been on a steep learning curve 　短期間に多くのことを学びました。

３５年間の外科医生活にピリオド。そして産業医となってもうすぐ２ヶ月。この短期間に多くのことを学んだ。業界の違いによる風習の違い、興味深い。仕事が原因となり引き起こされる病気や怪我。それに対して、国が労働者にいかに手厚い保護をしているか、よくわかった。どの国も同じような感じなのだろうか？愛読しているナショジオで海外の労働者の写真を良く見るが、日本の労働者は恵まれている気がする。
