The illiterate surgeon of Cape Town, Mr. Hamilton Naki, who could not read nor write a single English word, who had never seen the face of school in his life, was awarded the honorary degree of Master of Medicine.Let's see how this is possible...?
Hamilton arrived in Cape Town as his father fell ill.
After the day's work, he used to send the amount of money he would get home and shrink himself and sleep in the open ground.
The professor saw that he was a healthy young man of strong stature.
While working in the operating theater, he began to understand the human body more than the surgeons, so senior doctors entrusted him with the responsibility of teaching.He now started teaching surgical techniques to junior doctors.
He was unfamiliar with the terms of medical science but proved to be the most skilled surgeon.
