Dr. Joselito after receiving the Diploma of Doctor of the Year ISO 2021 was invited by conductor Gerard Schers to sing a song performed by him. He chose the song “CLOSE TO YOU” by Carpenters referring to it as one of the songs that inspired his book “LOVE for short trips and big odyssey” which is just like a “love manual in the Covid times” where everything what everybody dream of is being close to the loved ones.
As he says, he is not used to status positions, but we note that his story proves that he has always been very dear. In medical school, he was the monitor of several chairs receiving the Honor Plate from the Board due to the work presented at the symposia while still a student. At his internship at Hospital dos Servidores do Estado and Santa Casa da Misericórdia, his grades were between 9 and 10. Although he did not finish his Business School for taking care of his father's health, he was the first student in the class, recognized for always receiving grades 10 in the Economics assessments and loved for transcribing in the tests parts of the original texts of Adam Smith and Frederick Taylor, originating from the originals in English language, mined by him in the library of the Salesian University. At Harvard he achieved an average of 9 in the evaluation scores at the Harvard / MIT / TUFTS Consortium for Negotiation, Entrepreneurship and Senior Leadership in a class of Brazilian students highly praised by American professors. He received an honorary degree from the New York International Alumni Student Association "for pursuing excellence, maintaining perseverance and ascending to the Summit of Professional Achievement". He was invited by professors from Cambridge and Oxford universities to take courses in Sustainability, Geopolitics and Macroeconomics, which he still has on his agenda as priorities for the future.
He was Medical Officer of the Brazilian Navy, obtaining the Military Inspector of the Health Session of the ships that provide logistical support to the Almirante Ferraz base in Antarctica, in addition to Fernando de Noronha, Atol das Rocas and the cabin of the Penedos de São Pedro and São Paulo that he served on board during the first expedition of the first housing project. He also served on board during the LEPLAC Research Program (Survey of the Continental Shelf), a comprehensive program for collecting seismic and bathymetric data along the Brazilian continental shelf to submit to the United Nations Continental Shelf Limits Commission (United Nations) the area over which Brazil exercises sovereign rights. He was qualified as a Military Judge for the audits at the 1st. Military Judicial Circumscription. On leaving for civilian life he was honored with the Admiralty's Meritorious Citation. In civilian life he was approved in all phases and in a written test for Captain Amador by the Captaincy of the Ports of Paraty.
His life as an emergency physician was filled with several motions of City Councils, among tributes from other institutions and also from popular ones. He has never been prosecuted for his medical practice and has collected more than a hundred interviews for the press. Not only in newspapers and magazines but also on radio and television, whose half-hour duration on networks such as TV Globo, TV Record, TV Cultura, TV Bandeirantes among others, sets a record for air time. He was also the target of reports for European cable TV networks such as RTP and RAI Uno. He was medical coordinator at the Paragliding World Cup of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, receiving a Diploma of Sport Merit from the Brazilian Paragliding Association, having subsequently sponsored through his company DOC Serviços Médicos, pilots from Germany and Brazil in the Senior / Champions class in addition to the DJ Top of the World Anna Lindblad from Amsterdam in different years of the Free Flight World Cup. “Our logo was stamped on the champions' canopy”, as he is proud to say. Alongside his free flight, he was invited to accompany Rolex Ilhabela Sailing Week as a doctor, where he attracted the sympathy of civilian and military competitors from the Navy School, organizers and even the President of Rolex Stephan Meili and season champion Marcos Breda.
Post graduated in Aesthetic Medicine from the International Association of Aesthetic Medicine having been invited to be a professor of this postgraduate course in addition to gaining the support of the President of the Swiss Society of Dermatology and Cosmiatry and other friends of the Austrian, American, French and Indian medical aesthetic societies. He opened his company DOC Serviços Medicos Internacionais which started to undertake a network of four DOC Aesthetics clinics. He recently specialized in Psychiatry and has just published his first book that has been sold worldwide by Amazon.
One of the curiosities of his medical life was the headline in the health section of the Jornal Estado de Minas: “FAMILY DOCTOR DISCOVERS THE POWER OF MINERAL WATERS, AMONG THEM THE FERRUGINOUS, ABLE TO SANATE ONE OF THE GREATEST PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD. SICKNESS IS AFFECTING 65% OF CHILDREN IN PRE-SCHOOL IN SOME REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY ”.
He was very grateful for the “DOCTOR OF THE YEAR” diploma and said that he was really the doctor of the year 2020 that caused the most confusion, either due to the lack of material (oxygen, ventilators, etc.) or because he was unable to attend emergency units more than 100 to 120 hours weekly. He remembers that his phone rang and “beep” all day. "Calm down people! I have a lockdown after 100 uninterrupted hours on duty! I also need some oenophilic confinement”, he jokes about his stressful moments with insistent colleagues.
