After failing the exam, did you become a groomer? "Two educations" is great! I hope you find the same endurance in your personal life.

Constantin Marin

As it said in the article, "two educations" — in Cluj, at the Saint Nicholas Hospital, I saw many people who learned to cope after an accident. But have you been to the rehabilitation center at Sfântul Nicolae? When I was there with my nephew after the fall, I thought it was like you had two lives.

Corina Tudor

In Craiova, at St. John's Hospital, I heard that they also have a good rehabilitation center. I would wonder if she was also at Sfântul Nicolae in Cluj, like Constantin's nephew.

Radu Gheorghiu

From Sibiu, at the Saint George Hospital, we also saw new people who learned to walk after accidents, but what about "two educations" - was it at home or at the center?

Ioana Radu

Yes, at the Saint Mary Rehabilitation Center in Constanța, not at home. Everyone who comes from the hospital learns there, even those who don't know how to walk yet.

My daughter also failed the Unified State Exam in biology in 1919, and then she saved money for tutors for two years and still went into medical school. Well done Daria for not giving up and becoming a rehabilitation specialist - this is a necessary thing. But I wonder what city she later worked in, Moscow or where?

Bogdan Rusu

At the Hospital of Saint George in Sibiu, I also saw patients who came from Constanța after long sessions at the center. Two educations means he completed something else first, then went to rehab college, not just short courses. Have you ever been there with a family member?

Kostas, Daria finally succeeded and became a rehabilitator, not a "rehabilitator" as you write. The two degrees are indeed a nice thing, but the endurance you speak of is best wished for first for our children who are taking exams this year. What do you think, does failing to mature really help?

Petru Dumitrescu

I also heard that at the St. Ioan Hospital in Craiova they have some good machines for recovery. Was Constantin's nephew at Saint Nicholas in Cluj? How did it feel there, did it really help?

Κατερίνα Γεωργίου

Yes, Daria showed that failure can push you forward instead of stopping you. I see in my children who are giving this year that the pressure is great, but the persistence you say is the key. Do you think that if he hadn't failed the EGE, he would have had the same desire to get two degrees?

Александр Орлов

My sister also failed biology at the Unified State Exam in 2018, worked for tutors on weekends for two years, and then still entered medical college. Daria is really great, rehabilitation medicine is in great demand now, especially after injuries and surgeries. Vera, what university did your daughter end up studying at, in Moscow or in the region?

Elena Dumitrescu

Yes, I have also heard about the devices from Sfântul Ioan in Craiova, they are quite modern. Constantin's nephew went to Saint Nicholas in Cluj last year and told me that they helped him a lot with his daily exercises, although at first he was a bit tired. What about you, have you heard of other good places to recover?
