The award and recognition

- Dr. Hristov, how did you accept the award and did you expect such recognition at this stage of your professional path?

- I wouldn't say that a person starts this profession to get an award. Such recognition is pleasant and motivating. I accept the distinction as a sign that my efforts are meaningful and as an incentive to continue to develop, upgrade my knowledge and justify the trust that has been voted in me.

-  Do you accept the award also as a responsibility towards your future development as a doctor?

- As a young doctor, I am glad that there is attention to us younger people and to our work. I believe that a doctor should never think that he has learned everything. Medicine is constantly evolving and we must evolve along with it. Therefore, I take the award not as an end goal, but as an encouragement…
