The only woman who does liver transplant in South-East Europe has a special theory about life & death

She is one of a kind, a woman who really strived into the field of man and the field of God-made-miracles. She is Doina Hrehoret, the only woman surgeon who does liver transplantation in South-East Europe.

You can search the whole wide world for philosophical answers about life and death, about our meaning on Earth and so on. And you’d get such a wide spread of  responses. But the ones who actually deal with life and death, the doctors, rarely talk about it in detail. And as some of us heard, it’s not about that they don’t think they know, it’s because of judgement.

Doina Hrehoret, a Romanian liver transplant surgeon, petite and blue eyed, is well known for her remarkable skills in the operating room. She is up and ready to go at anytime when there is a life on the line. She is in the field for almost three decades and many people got to know her.

In an open talk with her about surgery work and her life, Doina – whose name means `Song`, told us, in a few words, about her philosophy about life & death.

First of all, she doesn’t eat meat.

`Because I believe, from what I’ve seen, that the suffering provoked by death can linger on in the body and the energy of that body. I just can’t eat something that has suffered to be on my plate. It’s not what the doctors recommend, to be a non meat eater, but I just can’t do it. I don’t want to get in contact with that kind of energy`

Doina Hrehoret says that she has seen the work of God right next to hers in the Operating Room and she could not believe for a second that there is no life after death. `I believe in the energy we have and I think that we are more than flesh and bone.`

At the time we are writing this little scrap of her life, the surgeon stood up on her feet for 24 hours to do two liver transplants in a row. We bow our heads in front of this kind of philosophy and model of life.
