«Each of us has a Master. The first teacher to teach us how to read and write, add numbers and solve problems. The school teachers who taught us to love the Motherland and life, make friends and cherish beauty. Life teachers who taught us the lessons of love and hate, good and evil. Apart from the number of teachers who gave us general knowledge of life, there are People who taught us the great art of healing, who gave us professional foundations, who revealed to us the secret mysteries of healing. Each of us will name dozens of such Teachers, who have invested reasonable and light in us, who have given us a piece of their soul. But among them there is the very main Teacher who was able to consider in you only the visible sprouts of knowledge, the inclinations of a future doctor, the ability to master the profession. The very main Teacher who gave you all his knowledge and experience, taught you the art of healing, which became the basis of your profession, the meaning of your whole life.
