AUTHOR
Dr. Borko B. Djordjevic
Dr. Borko B Djordjevic, M.D., Ph.D., born in Belgrade, has made a notable career as a plastic surgeon in the USA, and he continues to work actively in Serbia and Montenegro. His autobiography is very interesting, exciting, and shows the dilemmas, decisions, and adaptations of a young man to life in an entirely new environment. His book points to the many possibilities for achieving optimal results in plastic surgery and life. This book will provide insights into the lesser-known details about the disintegration of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the interests of big capital, and that of powerful people. This autobiographical read takes the reader to the core of American career creation. It is enriched with a large number of photographs documenting the author’s association with some of the most powerful people in the world.
“I am happy to share what I continue to learn.”
As a practicing doctor of plastic surgery as well as a professor, editor, and researcher, Dr. Borko strives to create discussions among members of the profession that will benefit patients and doctors alike.
He left his busy practice in the U.S. to work with patients in the war-torn areas of Eastern Europe. In the four years he spent in this capacity, he acquired new skills that helped lessen patient recovery time. He also taught the latest techniques and treatments to medical students and medical professionals.
“I’ve had a fabulous life because I’ve always been my own man.”
