Doctor neglects his health

I met a friend of tennis who was a doctor once in a while. He is a good man with warm heart and sincere personality. I remember he has saved company’s life when tennis player lost his consciousness at court. He looked a little bit being older and his breathing was getting harder than before.

After playing one set, he asked us to have a break. It was not what happened before. We were worried about his health condition but he said there was no problem as he was taking a lot of medicine.

There is a saying in Japan that failing to practice what one preaches, doctor often neglects his own health. One of our friends told it for him but he laughed.
