CURRENT MISSION

doing a ATLS-Provider cours in Hamburg in March 2013

ABOUT ME

I'm a free, tolerant, honest, moderate and helpful, often happy but sometimes also feeling sad inhabitant of this wonderful, fragile (not the planet itself, this is quite strong but the ecosystem on it) and absolutely protection deserving planet earth. I can do a handstand, run for at least 40 km, swim almost like a fish and climb up a tree or a rock but unfortunately I'm not jet capable of paragliding or sailing. I've not been to the Matterhorn but traveled by train to Narvik, Marrakech, Westerland and Kyle of Lochhalsh.

PHILOSOPHY

"Imagine there is war and nobody goes there." heard somewhen somewhere. It would be good if it were so easy...

"Only after the last tree has fallen, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught we will realize, that money cannot be eaten." read on a placard in Rumtek, Sikkim, India

I belong to that lucky bunch of people who has two legs to walk, eyes to see, a brain to think, a heart to love, a work I like, a passport to go wherever I want, the time to do what I want and the money to afford what I want (well, I can't afford the membership of the London Golf Club or flying first class but who want's to do that?).

Manchmal muss man so richtig tief in die Scheisse reinstehen, damit man wieder weiss, wie schoen es ist saubere Fuesse zu haben.

"Live like you will die tomorrow, but learn like you will live forever." Mahatma Gandhi

Ich versuche immer erst das Gute in jedem Menschen zu sehen, dem ich begegne und ihn so zu akzeptieren, wie er ist. Ich vertraue gerne und glücklicherweise wurde ich bis jetzt noch nie wirklich enttäuscht.

Interests

I like: sport activities with air below my feet, wind in my hair and sun or water in my face, traveling, reading, meeting family, friends or completely different people, cooking, taking photos, children and old people, doing jigsaws or doing nothing, working, walking trough a foreign city during early morning hours without any plan and listening to my favorite kind of music, while everyone at the hostel is still oversleeping his/her hangover from the last night (which does not mean, that I don't like drinking a beer in the evening), watching the stars or the sunset, gymnastics... and last but not least medicine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

doing a wonderful hot and crowded 35 hr train travel from Kolkata to Mumbai, drinking tea with an Indian cargo ship worker, feeling my back hurting, watching the countryside...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to do an orotracheal intubation, perform a periphervenous infusion or stitch a injury (but you would have to provide me the material and the patient to do it)...
