It's a very touching episode. A touching story and incredibly gentle work. I am ready to subscribe to every word of the surgeon. It is a pity that doctors in our region are thinking about paying, because the state did not warn them, and accordingly the doctor thinks little about the patient, but more about himself. Of course, this is a double-edged sword, but still
I really missed this kind of TV series, well-shot, medical and so subtle. Thank you. The series reminded me why I went to medical school in the beginning.
If the previous series showed a lot of medical manipulations and procedures, then this one has just one single operation, stretching over the entire series. Perhaps because neurosurgical operations are really long: while watching an hour-long episode, it seems like a very long time, and then it turns out that this particular operation lasted six hours. It is interesting to represent the personality of the characters through their childhood and place of birth. The authors seem to believe that all the most important things are embedded in a person in childhood, trying to figure out how it happened that this particular person became an outstanding doctor and a fan of his craft. In my opinion, it is not very possible to show these cause-and-effect relationships, but it is possible to demonstrate the personality traits of a person, and this is partly the answer to the question "what kind of person can go into this profession". For example, I was impressed by how the neurosurgeon, the hero of this series, works with his emotions, with fear. He has not stopped feeling at all, having performed hundreds of brain surgeries, he is still afraid, but he consciously transforms his fear into rage directed against the disease that is killing his patients. In general, the series is very focused on feelings and emotions, which is important, because sometimes, as a patient, it seems to me that the sensitivity of doctors is dulled, because there is so much grief around. It's nice to know that this is not the case.
The hero of this series is not only a good doctor, but also an outstanding manager. Due to the high capacity of the clinic, it manages to operate even those who do not have money for surgery. I was also struck by the story of Mother Teresa! It turns out he was treating her.
If anyone is interested, I came across one of the few mentions of his personal life on the Internet.:
"As for his personal life, Kipros Nikolaides is a rather private person. In 2008, it was reported that the doctor is the father. He has a son, Herodotus ("Herodotos"; apparently named after Kypros' father), and a daughter, Despina, who live in Cyprus separately with their mother. In an interview, Kipros Nikolaides stated: "I'm very close to my children, but when they were little, I often felt guilty about being married to my job." In 2015, it was reported that Despina was studying genetics at the professor's alma mater."
