I am a woman from Austria. 3 years ago I was on vacation in Karpathos. One day while hiking, I slipped and hit my left chest. I was in pain and had difficulty breathing. The other hikers called the ambulance and took me to the hospital. There they stretched me out and decided to do an X-ray. I was in shock because no one informed me about what had happened to me. As soon as the X-ray results came out, they took me to the operating room. I was terrified, because there were 5 doctors and nurses above the bed and they were shouting at each other. I was scared. At some point, a tall, calm doctor entered the operating room and approached me (I later learned that he had been called to come and deal with me). In the panic that prevailed there, that doctor ignored everyone and came and sat next to me. He took my hand, smiled at me and knowing that I spoke German, he also began to speak to me in German. First, he apologized for the panic that prevailed in the room and explained to me that this is how Mediterranean people are. He asked my name and told me his as well. His name was Doctor Socrates and that he was a private doctor and that they had called him for help. He explained to me that I had suffered a pneumothorax from the blow and that he would have to put a tube in my chest to re-inflate my lung. He looked me in the eyes and told me not to worry and that it wouldn't hurt at all. Then he asked me not to be scared because he was going to shout at them to stop shouting. And so it happened. Suddenly he shouted and told them STOP. The room immediately fell silent and he asked them for the tube to start the procedure. He gave me local anesthesia before putting in the tube. He explained to me step by step what he was going to do and told me that everything would be fine. Then he gently put the tube in and I really didn't understand anything. I was breathing better right away. After he finished, he sat down next to me again to calm down and jokingly told me that I was lucky because he was the best doctor in the galaxy. We laughed a lot together. Then he sent me for an X-ray again, because he wanted to see if the tube was placed correctly. The tube was well placed and so Doctor Socrates finished his work and had to leave. Since he is a private doctor, he had to be paid. I asked him before he left to pay him and he told me that it was not necessary at that moment and that he would spend the evening visiting me to see how I was doing and to pay him in the evening. In fact, in the evening he passed by my ward, examined me, saw my tests and told me that my tests were very good... like a baby's.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήWhat I remember from Doctor Socrates is his calmness, his kindness and that he is a very good man who sympathizes with the patient. If it weren't for him, I don't know what would have happened to me that day. He came to my bedside like an angel. I thank him very much and I wish him the best in his life.
