My father was a doctor, a neurologist too. I would always give the same response to those asking what I would be in elementary and secondary school: Neurosurgeon. When I started my neurosurgery residency at Haydarpa\u015fa Numune Hospital in 1992, my childhood goal was fulfilled. Two points have always stood out from the others throughout my medical career: 1. Don\u2019t harm anyone. 2. The most important relationship between the doctor and patient is the relationship of trust. In line with the principle of \u201cfirst do no harm\u201d in Turkish with \u201cprimum non nocere\u201d in Latin, I have always preferred to perform secured surgeries under the microscope from smaller incisions. I didn\u2019t perform any surgery that I wasn\u2019t sure the patient would benefit from. So I\u2019ve always been in a position to convince myself first of the need for surgery. Then I convince my patient. I kept in mind that the most important relationship between surgeon and patient is the relationship of trust. How can a person entrust his life to someone he saw 15 minutes ago without a relationship of trust? I cared about this relationship lasting post-surgery and even for life. I\u2019ve had the first walks of my patients that I\u2019ve operated in 28 years. Sometimes even after midnight many times\u2026 I\u2019ve always cared about some patients\u2019 feeling of their need to see their physician even at 03.00 o\u2019clock midnight. I don\u2019t mind giving all my patients my cell phone number. I would want my physician to be available at any time as needed. That\u2019s what I do for my patients. In these lines, I felt the need to describe my view of medicine.
