The Chinese Foundation for Lifeline Express

 
I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude to you funding my ICO FELLOW training project.
Now that I am home and I feel extremely happy. During the time I learned and lived in Wheaton, I promised myself I would write a letter of thanks as soon as I was able.
I wanted to report my wonderful trip to you.
In the past three months, I had followed Dr. Gieser learn how to exam the fundi of patients comprehensively and diagnosis diseases correctly. I performed the examinations of 523 patients, gave presentations 8 times, and took part in their doctor’s meeting 3 times and case reports 2 times. I watched and studied the surgical procedures every Tuesday, which were different from ours in detail.
I was lucky to have chances to take part in several concerts, East Holiday, several birthdays’ parties, and several dinner parties, which help me to understand America cuture.
What I could do practically with my hands was to exam outpatients with slit lamp, direct or indirect ophthalmoloscopy, and three-mirror lens, then drew a fundi’s chart.
Simultaneously, I improved my oral English greatly, which helped me understand. Fortunately, I met my aims.
It was a wonderful and successful trip to me.
Thank you for giving me a chance to learn from America doctors. I really appreciated it!
Please, never stop your beautiful way to help people. Your help really means a lot of to me and anyone who in need as well.
My true gratitude is beyond the word’s description.
Best wishes,
