Dear diary,
He (Rizal) had all the qualities that would
make an ideal ophthalmic surgeon, keen and
analytical intellect, lightness of touch and artistry
of a painter, courage and imperturbability, a
broad and deep knowledge of medicine and
ophthalmology, and last but not least, he had
been properly and adequately trained by master
ophthalmic surgeons.´
