"Many of the moves are aimed
at disabling or hurting your oppo-
nent quickly, so matches would be
very dangerous," he explained.
Applying this hobby to ophthal-
mology, Dr. Chan pointed out that
the Chinese word Kung Fu literally
means a skill acquired by hard work
and practice.
Ophthalmologist continued from page 89
happen when I get a cramp and col-
lapse in the middle of a flying side
kick or when I manage to whack
my knee when spinning my staff …
obviously my 'Kung Fu' still needs
much practice."
While Dr. Chan said he'll spar
with his Shifu, matches or compe-
titions are not part of traditional
Shaolin practice.

"You could say that ophthalmic
surgery is also Kung Fu," Dr. Chan
said, adding that the discipline,
focus, and physical health from
practicing the martial art also helps
him with the focus required in his
surgical career. "I feel I am in the
best shape of my life." EW
