Doctors told him he suffered from two rare genetic conditions

Went to doctors with swollen stomach that turned out to be ovarian cyst

Hong Kong Medical Journal said patient will continue to live life as a man

A Chinese man who went to the doctors with a swollen stomach was told that he is actually a woman.

The 66-year-old, who even has a beard, had lived his entire life as a man but was told by doctors in Hong Kong that his enlarged abdomen was caused by an ovarian cyst.

Tests revealed the patient suffered two rare genetic disorders that had gone undiagnosed.

They showed the patient had Turner Syndrome, a genetic condition that affects about one in 2,000 baby girls, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which increases male hormones.

The Hong Kong Medical Journal, which published the information yesterday, said only six cases of people with both disorders had ever been reported in medical literature.

Turner Syndrome usually results from a problem with the chromosomes and can leave women infertile and shorter than normal.
Women with the syndrome are missing one or part of their second X chromosome.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia affects one in around 15,000 births and causes male characteristics to appear early or inappropriately.
The patient had grown up an orphan and stopped growing after puberty at the age of 10 and was just 4.5ft tall.

The patient also had no testes and a 'micro-penis', according to the report.

Girls with the disorder have normal female reproductive organs but can suffer with fertility problems.

Seven doctors, writing in the medical journal, said the Vietnam-born patient would continue to live as a man and may be treated with testosterone replacement.

They said: 'Were it not due to the huge ovarian cyst, his intriguing medical condition might never have been exposed', according to AFP.

There used to be this guy who would beg for money, just down the road from where I used to work. Not only did he beg, but he also played the guitar and sang, both very noisily and badly.

One day, after an extremely lucky win at the bookies, I saw him there doing his thing, and I gave him £100 as I felt sorry for him.

He never came back. I heard about a week later that he was found dead in the local park, having overdosed from heroin.

That is my only experience of philanthropy.

There was a scholar of the law stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”

But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
—Luke 10:25-37

The questions “what should be done to enter heaven” or “what can please God” in order to have and enjoy everlasting life are concerns of so many people not only during the time of our Lord Jesus but until today. Still, people need to know what should be done and be made to inherit everlasting life and be assured that one will be with God when the time comes. In the gospel, this is the concern of the scholar of the law who asked Jesus. And Jesus responded to the query and referred him to what the law is telling him. The man replied correctly as he narrated the law of Moses about what should be done. But the man was so insistent and wanted to justify himself and he made a follow- up question on “who is my neighbor?” How will I know my neighbor?

Then Jesus shared about the well-loved story of a good Samaritan. The parable of the Good Samaritan is only found in the Lucan gospel, and Jesus narrated what happened in that story. Who is my neighbor? Who was the neighbor of the one who was a victim of robbers, beaten and was left lying by the road almost half- dead. A priest and a teacher of the law both passed by but just ignored the poor man on the road. When a Samaritan passed by, he took him out of compassion. As first aid, he poured oil and wine and bandaged his wounds. The Samaritan carried the man and went to the nearby inn and watched on him. He paid for the bill and promised the innkeeper that he will return to pay for the balance and for the man.

Who is the neighbor to the robbers’ victim, Jesus asked the man. The man replied that man who treated him with mercy. Jesus then said to the man: “Go and do the same to others.”

Have we become a Good Samaritan to others? Have we extended our hands and hearts to others who are in dire need? Have we offered our services to those who need us the most?

To be a neighbor for others is to offer one’s love for others. The Good Samaritan is giving us a testimony and a life model. To love God is to love others, whoever they may be; friends or strangers.
Similarly, while I was on my way to Manila at the airport, I was approached by representatives from World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines and asked me about a few questions. Then I learned that they are volunteering for the campaigns initiated by WWF Philippines for particular campaigns and advocacies.

I also shared that I am also advocating to save Mother Earth. I commended them and congratulated them for the commitment and services they have been doing for Mother Earth. The concern of these volunteers for Mother Earth is a “neighborly” act for others. Loving one’s neighbor is loving mother Earth by bringing to our awareness the state of our world’s nature and ecological issues that are affecting the world and its population. Concern and care for the earth is loving God, for the whole creation is God’s masterpiece, for we are only creatures of God.

We can show our love to God and neighbor in various ways.

Let us pause, pray, reflect and ask ourselves:

Am I concerned with life eternal just like man in the gospel? Have I thought of my destination after spending my life on earth? Where will I go when I die?

How do I express my love to God? How do I manifest my love for my neighbor?

Just like in the gospel, am I willing to be a “Good Samaritan” to others?

Am I open to be the “Innkeeper” for others, open and willing to take care of those in need and trusting to people who come to my house?
