Doctor beloved of engine drivers

There is a woman winning the respect and love of engine drivers and other workers in the railway sector at the clinic of Sopho Youth Railway Station under the Pyongyang Railway Bureau.

She is Pak Kyong Ae, doctor who has worked at the clinic for more than 40 years.

“She is an ordinary woman who can be found anywhere else. For her strong attachment to job and warm human love, she has endeared herself to so many people,” said Han Kwan Phil, engineman of the West Pyongyang Locomotive Corps.

Even patients say they feel better at the mere sight of her beaming smile, he added.

She prepared various kinds of tonics for the treatment of engine drivers, other workers and their families and used to sit up all nights to cure patients.

Whenever asked if her job is not tiring, she answers that the patients must be very painful and she feels relieved of worries and invigorated from seeing them recovering from illnesses probably because she has such a job.

She is the wife of a special-class honoured disabled soldier and mother of an honoured disabled soldier.

“She deserves great respect from others only for being the wife and mother of honoured disabled soldiers. However, only a few people know the fact,” said the director of the clinic.

Busy as she is taking care of them, she has devoted herself to society and collective before her family, the director said.

“Medical profession is a demanding job for me, of course. However, I am motivated by the consciousness that I have to do something to repay our neighbours, society and the country that care for us so much,” said Pak Kyong Ae.

The country takes meticulous care of the family of honoured disabled soldiers and saw to it that her son enrolled at a university and found employment at the Tongdaewon Disabled Soldiers’ Printing Plant after graduation as he wished.

Pak believes fulfilling her duty is the way to repay the favour and care shown by the country and people.

The more she devotes herself to protecting the health of railway workers and residents, the greater the care of engine drivers and neighbours for her gets.
