Iako je možda na prvi pogled izgledalo kao uobičajena proslava i okupljanje kardiologa povodom izbora novog predsednika, za mene je bilo više od toga. Pre svega moja supruga je stala u red velikih kardiologa od kojih smo učili u vreme kada su kardiolozi značili mnogo više. Danas su, čini se, sami sebe obezvredili i možda je Anin izbor došao u pravom trenutku, jer ona sigurno ne nosi konflikte, već kompromise. To se videlo i te večeri, jer su se pojavili neki ljudi koje nisam video godinama. Međutim, ono što mene najviše obradovalo je preuzimanje odgovornosti. Toliko puta smo o tome pričali, i desilo se. Možda sam očekivao i ranije, ali ne znam koliko imam prva da komentarišem, jer joj praktično nisam pomagao. Iako smo počeli rad u sličnoj oblasti medicine, nikad zapravo nismo sarađivali. Verovatno smo jedni bračni par na svetu koji radi svako u svojoj privatnoj ordinaciji. To je možda druga stvar podjednako važna kao i odgovornost, jer je zajednički rad mogućnost da pomogneš da neko pobedi i da uživaš u tome. Ovako sam samo ponosni svedok, koje je bar toliko uticao da Ana ne traži izgovori kao toliko ljudi oko nje, već da preuzme odgovornost, bez obzira na to kako se lično oseća. Negde sam čuo da je ovo naš život i da niko ne dolazi da nas spasi i ako sami nešto ne pokušamo, sutra ne možemo da izbegnemo odgovornost.

Although it may at first seemed like a common celebration and a gathering of a cardiologist on the occasion of the election of a new president, for me that was much more. First of all, my wife stood in the line of great cardiologists, whom we learned at the time when the cardiology meant much more. Today, cardiologists seem to have deflated themselves and maybe Anna’s election came at the right moment, because she certainly does not carry conflicts, but compromises. This was seen even that night, because some people I did not see for years. However, what makes me happy was taking over responsibility. We talked about it so many times, and it happened. Maybe I expected it before, but I do not know how much I have right to comment, because I practically did not help her. Although we started working in a similar field of medicine, we never actually working together. We’re probably the only married couple in the world who works in sparate own private practice. It may be another matter as equally important as responsibility, because working together is the ability to help someone win and enjoy it. This is how I am just a proud witness, which at least influenced that Ana did not ask for excuses as many people around her, but to take responsibility, no matter how she personally feels. I heard somewhere that this is our life and nobody comes to save us and if we do not try something, tomorrow we cannot avoid responsibility.
