Abstract
It is very important to observe the clinical course of patients and the experiences involved in daily medical activities on a routine basis, and to study them using a variety of tools, including the Internet. Doing this will help to promote serendipity, that is, a natural ability to make interesting or valuable discoveries, by accident, in your daily life.Serendipity could lead to a medical presentation or publication of a paper. One might say that writing a paper is simply an achievement and leave it at that. However, it is also a real joy to know the extent to which your idea or technique has been recognized in Japan, as well as in the wider world. Clinical practice and research do not necessarily conflict with one another ; rather, they are like "two wheels on one cart".
