Op.dr. Özgür Çavdaroğlu:
“For me, a patient is a patient wherever they come from. However, I have noticed some particularities in the Romanian patients I have treated so far. They are very knowledgeable, respectful, emotional, they ask a lot of questions to understand everything and, to my great joy, they give me feedback after they leave the hospital, and some call me on New Year’s Eve even after several years. I think we are quite similar emotionally, and that helps me connect with them and their families, which is very important in the recovery process.”
