My Take
Trading medicine for politics strikes me as one of the worst deals a person can make. Hisashi Matsumoto was born in Kanazawa in 1962, trained at Kanazawa University, and became a physician, a career that already justifies an entire lifetime. Then he stepped out of it to sit in the House of Representatives for the Liberal Democratic Party. My first reaction is honestly why. My second is that the logic is unusually clean: someone who has stood in a treatment room learns the ceiling of saving one patient at a time, and rules are where the rest of the saving has to happen. His page here is thin, with no awards and no timeline and nothing photogenic. For this line of work, thin is probably the correct shape.
