My comment:
(a) Teiichiro FUKUSHIMA: most likely 福島 貞一郎; then again he was born in Brazil and came to US at a tender age (and later entered a medical school in US), so he might not even have a Japanese name.
(b) I know nothing about doctors in China or US.
(i) In Taiwan, which was a Japanese colony for fifty years, doctors were ambivalent about whether to follow Japanese tradition where a doctor had been treated like a god, or American customs (where almost all Taiwanese doctors are trained)--at least that was what happened before 1984 when I left there.
(ii) Soon after my arrival in US, I was impressed that whites, older people, car drivers, professors and politicians treated others equally and fairly, unlike what had happened in Taiwan. I go to Massachusetts state house library every day, and many politicians treat me, a stranger, kindly: opening or holding the door for me; even giving me a bill (I politely declined, so I did not how much it was) or engaging chitchats with me. Only one politician in Taiwan (not in my district) was nice, for no reason at all.
