A rainy day in the beginning of November 2004 I opened my eyes. Scanning the dark room, wich gave a solitary impression – where was I?
Due to recognition of the well made beds, alarm buttons attached to the bed and IV racks, I knew where I was lying – in a Swedish hospital. The doctor later informed me of the diagnosis (when I was able to communicate), acute subdural hematoma (mortality rate 60-80%). I had two choices. First one was to follow the instructions and slowly getting the old active life back – as it were before. Second choice (my own, the doctor only gave me one choice) was to do it faster. My heart chose the second alternative. I missed my close ones, especially my father and mother – my mental level was as an 8 year old boy trapped in an older vessel. I wanted to go home as soon as possible – it was the motivation of my life.
Almost 7 years later I am finished with a pre-med course here in Stockholm and accepted to a medical school close to Stockholm. The experiences I got due to the hospilatization motivates me to increase my knowledge in medicine and physiology – amplyfying my passion for the human anatomy and the power of mind if you have determination.
As a ski instructor or personal trainer I have as long as I remember always been eager to motivate and help others using playfulness as a tool, I have traveled to different places of the globe – travels that has involved amazing experiences of interacting with new cultures and people. I’ve always dreamt of kids of my own. Now I am a father of two wonderfull children which I adore. This makes me aware og how fragile and meaningful life is. Due to life changing events I have gained a lot of experiences. One of them was to be hospitalized for a period of my life. I have had to start all over to learn to maintain equilibrium and use the body in an mechanical manner. I have been in the same state as many of my future patients, something that will give me the ability of really understand and foster trust between me and my future patients. I have the luck to prosper in life due to amazing neurosurgery at Uppsala academic hospital. It was sincere fascination with life that sparked my enthusiasm for medicine.
