This I Believe

The essay that I am going to talk about from This I Believe is called "A Duty To Heal" by Dr. Pius Kamau. The reason that I choose this essay was because I thought that it wasn't very nice that this 19 year old never talked to Dr.Kamau just because he was white. If I was alive those ages Then I would report this to someone that handles all this. I also thought that this story is a very sad and emotional story. He was born in 1941 but doesn't know which day, so he choose September 1st because he thought it was a good day. He studied until the age of 14 when he had to stop to work form money. Usually in those days the whites ruled the country and Dr. Pius was a black. He said that all humans must have equal rights. He also said "My color and accent set me apart. But in a hospital I am neither black or white. I'm a doctor. I believe every patient that I touch deserves the same care and concern from me." In 1999 he was called to go to the hospital, where a 19 year old patient was coughing up blood after a car accident. A white person that had a tattoo on his chest. He wouldn't let Dr. Pius touch or talk to him. When Pius went closer to him he spat on Pius. The Pius said that he wanted no part of him but no other physician would take him on. He would only to talk to the white nurses and they had to check if there were any injury's on his body. Only the nurses could touch his tattooed chest. He wasn't badly hurt it turned out. Dr. Pius couldn't do much of his race. He also said that his black hands have saved many life's. I also think that people should have had equal rights those days like they do these days.
