Not just because I promised that I would share interesting moments from those times, but also for me! A man without memories is a living dead, a zombie, a tree without roots. Oh, I wonder where did this famous Chashule\u2019s quote come from?! Never mind, I resisted the winds blowing me abroad\u2026 \u00a0There, things would have been worse\u2026 Being labeled with a permanent status of \u201ca tree without roots\u201d, \u201ca newcomer\u201d, \u201ca misfit\u201d\u2026 Here, back in those days, we hade ideals! Maybe someone now would say that those ideals were wrong\u2026 that our brains had been washed\u2026 Despite everything, we sincerely believed in \u201cfraternity and unity\u201d, and still, we never forgot who we truly were! Do we know that now? We all nurtured a strong sense of togetherness, and egoists were seen as psychopaths or sociopaths. And they were usually out of our social circles. The basic principle applied everywhere and every time was \u201cone for all, all for one\u201d! Just like the famous musketeer code! Slowly, but surely, the spring of memories starts flowing. Memories emerging to the surface. I remember, I never hesitated what I wanted to do in life. I was clear about it since high school. And that is how things went on. It was simply no surprise to anyone. A medical student! What an indescribable feeling! Becoming just like Bulgakov, the young doctor working in one of the remote Russian guberniyas. I had read and reread his book \u201cA Young Doctor\u2019s Notebook\u201d thousands of times back then\u2026 Hah, youthful romanticism\u2026 Even now, I sometimes go back to reading it\u2026 and leave it couple of pages later. After almost forty generations of students I have taught, I can barely single out few students who were sincerely in love with medicine! \u00a0I am not speaking about medicine as a science, but rather medicine as philosophy of life, medicine as an art, as a skill of helping one\u2019s loved people, as a \u201cshepherd\u201d of one\u2019s flock\u2026 And then, it came to me! \u201cWithout love, we are reduced to nothing\u2026\u201cLove is gone, compassion is gone\u2026 Egoism, egoism is our modern pandemic! Where the hell is love?<\/p><p>Were they all in vain, were they all fake, were they just a figment of a washed brain, our youthful fantasies of becoming just like the young Bulgakov some day? I sincerely don\u2019t know. All I know is that back than, we were living that dream \u2013 recollects professor Danilovski his student days and the decision of becoming a medical student.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/koga_bev_student_dragan_danilovski_pivara_skopje_5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30916\" src=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/koga_bev_student_dragan_danilovski_pivara_skopje_5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"488\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/koga_bev_student_dragan_danilovski_pivara_skopje_5.png 488w, https:\/\/pivaraskopje.com.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/koga_bev_student_dragan_danilovski_pivara_skopje_5-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p><strong>Enthusiast always in favor of changes and reforms.<\/strong><\/p><p>Dragan was a highly motivated student, he graduated with average grade of 9, which had been yet additional incentive of going the extra mile and doing something to impact and change the overall concept of medical studies.
