The voice of the train station

October 4-th, 2010, I arrived in Matsumoto after a long and difficult journey. It was already dark in the afternoon. When suddenly the train stopped, a voice announced the station： Matsumoto!... Matsumoto!... Matsumoto!... This voice will probably remain in my mind for a very long time. In fact it will remain in the minds of many other personalities, known in the neurosurgical world who had visited Matsumoto. Over the time period I was here , I had the opportunity to attend an important neurosurgical meeting "The 69th Annual Meeting of the Japan Neurosurgical Society, Fukuoka, Kyushu" and there I met Professor O. Al- Mefty. He asked me where I am and what was I doing so far from home. I answered that I am spending some quality time at Aizawa Hospital with Professor Shigeiaki Kobayashi. In the next moment he said： Matsumoto!... Matsumoto!.. Matsumoto!.. just like the voice on the train station. This impressed me very much - such a personality known throughout the world as O. Al-Mefty, knows the sound of the voice in Matsumoto train station. Later I understood.
