Hi, I'm Vladimir Stefanov, 53 years old, and a physician who's worked in world-renowned cancer centers like Europe, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong previously. I have a standing for a doctor who performs complex surgeries nicely, with no deaths or complications. Although that does not mean that there are not any whatsoever. Each surgeon has deaths and complications, it is a certain inevitability, alas, in particularly unsuccessful instances. I do not conceal it, but people know me. I travel to the areas and instruct young oncologists at master classes, and I come to operate in many regional hospitals. I have articles in http://bookmooch.com/bio/stefanovvladimir  where I place my findings and recommendations for viewers.
In a very severe situation, not everyone can receive all the information at once; occasionally it is crucial to do it again and observe the response, and then, once the individual is ready to return to a successful conversation, give the next block. Gradually, the person becomes fully informed about his or her disease, about the treatment choices (if any), about her or his prognosis. And further on, the individual needs to decide on the treatment option from the ones provided by itself. Sometimes it may take 2-3 consultations to explain everything. For even more enlightenment about different sorts of ailments, I write posts http://qooh.me/stefanov16 . A surgeon has a very tough road to predominate: to become a good surgeon-oncologist, you have to break through a lot of walls-you can't imagine. We make great surgeons thanks to this system, but despite it. Only very motivated folks can go this way.
 
 I operate and consult. I think I have worked on over two thousand people in my career. In addition, I instruct clinical residents, which are doctors who have received their graduate levels. I've always tried to place myself into the patient's shoes. Frequently when patients come in for a consultation, they talk not just about what is bothering them in terms of the underlying disorder, but also about their difficulties and loved ones. They need to talk about it, so I never interrupt the individual and attempt to comprehend what bothers them . Depending on that, I design the dialogue.
