Sólyom, László, MD

Introduction

I chose a medical career because of my mother’s influence, and I chose orthopaedics for its challenges in musculoskeletal corrections. During my career, I have met colleagues who showed me guidance with their extraordinarily patient behaviour and their way of approaching problems I’ve also learned from patients and from my students as well.
