• ‘Ear, nose and throat are the organs that provide us with forty percent of adequate perception of entire environment. Therefore, patients who have problems with nasal breathing, smell and hear, feel subjectively much worse than if they had, for example, joints of feet or hands hurting. Feature of ENT diseases is their acuity. You need to explain all medical aspects of patient in an accessible form. If you do not deliver information clearly, patient will not hear the thing doctor wanted to deliver. Good thing is that today society is set up to receive information. People want to have a thorough knowledge of their illness.’
• ‘A good doctor is a professional with a capital letter, which is able to communicate with a patient. There will be no success without a trusting relationship between a patient and a doctor. I love my specialty a lot, but, of course, no branch of medicine exists isolated. We don’t have ear growing separately somewhere in the tree. Body is a unified whole, in almost every case, we are faced with some comorbidities. Therefore, we must have a basic knowledge of all branches of medicine.’
