Who applies his knowledge in his hometown<\/b><\/h4>

Zolt\u00e1n Jakubovich, based in Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky, is among the well-known doctors of Slovakia.<\/strong> He has lived and worked in several<\/h4>

countries. Upon returning, he became chief physician of the neurology department at the teaching hospital in Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky,<\/strong><\/h4>

where he began building a system unique in Slovakia. He currently operates a private practice.<\/strong><\/h4>

How did your career start?<\/i><\/h4>

As soon as I received my medical diploma from Masaryk University in Brno, I emigrated to Canada almost immediately.<\/strong> Three<\/h4>

of my uncles lived in Toronto, so I didn\u2019t go entirely into the unknown. I quickly perfected my English to enable work, and<\/h4>

spent many hours at the library preparing for medical qualifying exams. Winters in Toronto are brutally cold, so my uncle<\/h4>

always spent them in Jamaica. He invited me to go with him. I wasn\u2019t particularly eager, but I agreed in the end when Toronto<\/h4>

was still cold in late May. There I began working as a physician at Cornwall Regional Hospital \u2013 Montego Bay.<\/strong> I encountered<\/h4>

situations known from medical drama series. Although the area is not entirely peaceful at night, the doctor is still respected, so<\/h4>

my time there was relatively safe.<\/h4>

I understand you started in neurology in Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky.<\/i><\/h4>

In 1996 I returned to my birthplace, Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky<\/i>, where I began working in the hospital\u2019s neurology department.<\/strong> I obtained my<\/h4>

first board certification in Bratislava. It was around this time that I, by chance due to a letter, contacted a Hungarian doctor in<\/h4>

Germany who was looking for physicians for his clinic. It took two years before my wife and I could go, as we were expecting<\/h4>

our second child, but then I went to another clinic.<\/h4>

You obtained a position at an elite clinic.<\/i><\/h4>

When we moved to Germany in 2004, I already spoke English well and understood neurology. My job was to evaluate<\/h4>

neurological findings. It was essential to communicate with colleagues. It was difficult to attend language courses after work,<\/h4>

but within two to three months I spoke German. Within two years I became a senior physician, and job offers came one after<\/strong><\/h4>

another.<\/strong> I always worked in private clinics, where it was important that the physician be very good in their field. In Germany<\/h4>

you cannot stall professionally.<\/h4>

Focus magazine ranked under your leadership that rehabilitation clinic among Germany\u2019s best.<\/i><\/strong><\/h4>

In 2008 I moved to Hesse, where I was immediately appointed deputy director of a rehabilitation clinic. A year later, my<\/h4>

colleague and I succeeded in founding and registering an acute clinic alongside the rehabilitation clinic within a year.<\/h4>

Furthermore, we expanded rehabilitation with an acute neurorehabilitation unit where severely ill patients could receive long-<\/strong><\/h4>

term intensive development.<\/strong> That meant that someone admitted with a stroke or after a complicated surgery could leave after<\/h4>

several weeks or months with full rehabilitation. If the patient\u2019s condition was very severe, they could stay for up to six months,and we worked with them five hours a day on their development. This had to be documented and strictly controlled.<\/h4>

How did your family feel in Germany?<\/i><\/h4>

My wife continued her law studies there. Alongside our daughters J\u00e1zmin and No\u00e9mi, our children Zolika and Lizike were born.<\/h4>

Our younger children attended a Catholic kindergarten. There was order and structure in those institutions, which the children<\/h4>

liked. We often returned to Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky, mainly because of our family, and our children also attended their home school,<\/h4>

Czuczor Gergely Primary School. However, the liberal lifestyle of German secondary schools no longer appealed to us. When<\/h4>

we first heard that drugs were found in the school, we decided our two older daughters would return to Hungary to K\u0151szeg,<\/h4>

where they were admitted to high school. By then it was noticeable that Germany had more and more immigrants, so it was no<\/h4>

longer as safe as in the early years. We frequently traveled back to see our daughters, and it was very exhausting. It became a<\/h4>

question whether we should return. However, they no longer wanted to hear about returning \u2013 they felt comfortable in<\/h4>

Hungary.<\/h4>

Then you returned?<\/i><\/h4>

Indeed. In 2016 we returned, I worked in Ve\u013ek\u00fd \u0160urany, and simultaneously founded my private practice. Later came the<\/h4>

opportunity to become chief physician at Nov\u00e9 Z\u00e1mky<\/i>\u2019s hospital neurology department. In addition to therapy methods<\/h4>

established abroad, we put greater emphasis on early rehabilitation, based on German experience, whose continuation will be<\/h4>

robotic neurorehabilitation. The goal is for patients\u2019 condition upon hospital discharge to be as satisfactory as possible.<\/strong> To<\/h4>

date, no other hospital applies this system \u2013 we were the first in Slovakia to start systematic neurorehabilitation.<\/strong> However,<\/h4>

since May of this year I only make rounds at the hospital once weekly. I dedicate most of my time to expanding my private<\/h4>

practice, where diagnostic opportunities are supported by Western-standard clinical equipment.<\/h4>

Who do you welcome in your practice?<\/i><\/h4>

Every weekday we see, by appointment, those with central or peripheral nervous system issues. We expect those suffering<\/h4>

from headaches, chronic or degenerative neurological diseases, Parkinson\u2019s or Alzheimer\u2019s, or simply coming for neurological<\/h4>

examination due to other complaints, or for pre\u2011operative consultation. Much fewer people need surgery than is currently<\/h4>

performed. But for that, patients must understand that recovery is possible. More responsibility must be given to the patient so<\/strong><\/h4>

they are willing to give up alcohol, smoking, and engage in physical activity.<\/strong> More communication is needed \u2013 I welcome<\/h4>

visitors at my door in four languages, and I am happy if they can express their complaints in their mother tongue.<\/h4>

How would you summarize what is needed for a successful career?<\/i><\/h4>

Knowledge, persistence, and honor. If even one of these is missing, a person will not be successful or satisfied with<\/strong><\/h4>

themselves.<\/strong><\/h4>
