World History research Leonid Rogozov


My name is Lonid Rogozov, I am from Russia, I was born on March 14, 1934.  My father was killed during the WWII in 1943.  I think I  am smart, as I became a doctor when I was only 26.  From September 1960 until October 1962 I worked in Antarctica as a doctor.  I believe you can hardly imagine that being an explorer and scientist in the Antarctic, as the polar winter arrived, leaving my team enveloped in darkness, snowstorms, and extreme cold it was just like end of the world!  One morning, I found myself growing ill.  I was weak, nauseou, had a fever and pain in the lower belly.  As the day progresses I felt worse and worse.  What should I do?  I had a pain in the upper part of my abdomen later on, which shifted to my right lower quadrant, my body temperature rose to 37.5c.  However I had no one to help me.  I decided to perform a self surgeon.  I had some fears, but I’ve accomplished them on my own.  From then on, I decided my goal is to help more people to get out of sickness, diseases and fears.  In October 1962 I returned to my old school and started teaching students in the PHD classes.  There were lots of historical events that happened around me during my childhood, for example John F Kennedy moved into the White House in 1961.  He gave his famous speech “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”.  Unfortunately, two years later in 1963, Kennedy was shot in his car while he was traveling in Washington D.C. at the age of 46.  Martin Luther King Jr.  made the speech, “I have a dream” on August 28, 1963. More than 200,000 peaceful demonstrators went to Washington D.C. to demand equal rights for Black and Whites.  Personal thoughts:  I think doctor Leonid Rogozov is a brave and courageous man, he can do a surgery on his own body and still be optimistic, looking forward to developing his new life. I respect his attitude by helping desperate people around the world.  I admire him for his grate love, and never settle while facing challenges.
