DEDICATION
Hitoshi Toshi Nikaidoh (19682003)
We dedicate this book to our dear friend, Dr. Toshi Nikaidoh, who led by example, always beyond the call of duty, and along the way, taught so many of us about so many important things about life.
As a surgeon-to-be, he tutored fellow lower-level medical students on not only how to master the challenges of gross anatomy but also how to develop the skillful art of dissection and respect for the human body.
As a spiritual leader, he taught his youth group not only the meaning of good fellowship by recalling good times spent on missionary travels abroad, but also the value of good worship by sharing his faith along the way.
As a physician, he taught patients not only to hope when all hope is lost but also to have faith through which peace can be found.
And as a friend, son, brother, or just that smiling doctor in the hallway with the bow tie, he taught us how truly possible it is for one person to make a world of difference.
Toshis dedication to academics and education, his compassion for the sick and less fortunate, and his tireless devotion to his faith, family, and friends have all continued to touch and change lives of all who knew him, and even of all who only knew of him.
