Doktor bey ile korkunç bir meme ağrısı sonucu şiş ve yürüyemez bir halde iken yaz tailinde Bodrum Acıbadem’de tanıştık. Ultrasonlar sonucunda meme kanseri şüphesi ile yönlendirildiğim Kemal Bey, kendine has samimi ve kararlı tavrı ile bunun kesinlikle çok büyük bir apse olduğunu ve hemen müdahale edilmesi gerektiğini söyledi. Daha odasından çıkmadan iyileştim. Haftalarca süren korkularımı giderip tatilimi zehir olmaktan çıkaran Dr Kemal Raşa’ya sonsuz teşekkürlerimi, saygılarımı, sevgilerimi sunarım. Bence kendisi iyi bir hekim olmasının yanı sıra harika bir insan.
