Abstract

“My first 15 students… They were people who felt they belonged, they didn’t have to be forced to study. If they got twos, it was an exclusive case. Now our department consists of almost all my students. And I’m very proud of it! Only those who cannot avoid entering this profession should enter medicine. A doctor and a teacher are two specialties where only those who feel this is their vocation should go. Such people make real doctors and real teachers.”
