‘We have a good room for improvement of professional skills (quality medical equipment, effective treatment regimens, a lot of competition among health care workers).’

A piece of advice for patients

‘Live a healthy lifestyle, keep fit (swimming, running) and get rid of excess body weight. Do not lose your heart and soul in the everyday turmoil.’

Trends in Anesthesiology

‘Invention of new medical equipment and new anesthesia techniques. New knowledge of the body’s physiology. The importance of an anesthetist as a specialist has objectively grew up.’

About work

‘A good doctor is the one who supports his professional level and a collegial relationship with other health care workers. He should be careful, responsible and look after his health.’

‘I advise patients with unstable body functions, that’s why I have to make decisions in a limited period of time. It is also important to be able to work in a team and have leadership qualities.’

‘Patients and parents of young children need to be informed in a comprehensive way as much as possible. An adequate interaction with patient is a part of treatment process – there is no recovery success or improvement of life quality.’
