Slovakia reminds me of my home. We used to be part of Czechoslovakia, so I'm not that far
From the jewelry designer we got to the waiting room of the medical ambulance. The pleasant environment of the waiting room enhances the paintings, the author of which is our mentioned designer.
The nurse will invite us in. A young doctor welcomes us in the office with a broad smile. The blue-yellow combination of flowers behind her back and the name Iryna reveal her origin. Iryn has come from Ukraine, since Uzhgorod. Slovakia with its mountains and culture resembles its native Zakarpatie and the language is close to it, as we have many similar words. Slovakia reminds me of my home. We used to be part of Czechoslovakia, so I’m not that far,’ she said. Although she lives with her family in Dubnica, she would like to move to Trenčín, which suits her the size and opportunities of cultural activities.
In addition to general medical practice, a young doctor in Slovakia completed her education with additional tests. I am also a geriatric, internist, general physician, and now I have completed radiology in ultrasonography and I am still continuing education, and the doctor explains and adds that the practice in the field of sonography is acquired at the top workplace in Brno, at Bohunice Hospital.
At her office, her eight – year – old daughter, Kamilka, was company for a while, and to our surprise, we learn that Iryna still has an 18 – year – old son.
We will find out that he lives in Dubnica and if he has to choose a sport for relaxation, hiking, running, cycling and especially tennis. We didn’t stay long with the doctor because the patients are more prominent. On the way, we took a stand at a nearby bakery. The saleswoman helped us to find access to the office a moment ago, and since this is also a minor act worth noting, we thanked her and gave her our Tren-China candy.
