The Editorial Team
Hello HK and welcome back. My name is Anne, a 5th year medical student and I‟m
very glad to introduce you to a brand new version of our favorite school magazine,
The HK Chronicle !
We can proudly say that we have upgraded: we have added two sections respectively called „‟Meet the students‟‟ dedicated to interviewing students of HK and „‟didyou-know‟‟ in which we talk about strange but interesting facts around the world.
Additionally, our website had a makeover and it is more interactive now.
However, we are both coming towards the end of our studies and are looking for
dynamic students (from the Czech and English programs) who can take over this
school magazine. There are many things you can do: interview teachers and/or students, translate articles, found out what it‟s going on in HK… and if you think that
you are a budding journalist, write articles (believe me, it‟s easier than you think)
and each task is up to your liking. So please contact any of us if you have the slightest interest in this magazine and we will be more than happy to explain to you what
it‟s about.
On a more positive note, this issue is full of surprises: we have learned a lot about Prof Steiner, interviewed our classmates,
got your summer booked in „‟summertime‟‟ and are inviting you to come to Graduation Night 2014 which will surely be a mesmerizing experience for all of us.

Milí čtenáři,
opět se shledáváme při čtení našeho školního časopisu.
S malou nostalgií musím podotknout, ţe aţ příště budete číst úvodní slova, budou uţ
psána někým jiným. Já i Anne jsme v pátém ročníku a proto jsme se rozhodly, ţe je
potřeba přenechat časopis Vám mladším spoluţákům. Myslím, ţe se nám podařilo
vytvořit dobrý koncept a získat si slušnou čtenářskou základu. Jsme si vědomy toho, ţe
vţdy je co zlepšovat, a doufáme, ţe ti, kteří přijdou po nás, budou plni nových nápadů.
My uţ jsme naše poslání splnily, vytvořily jsme časopis, do kterého můţe psát opravdu
kaţdý a to o čemkoliv, co ho zajímá. Teď je jen na Vás, jestli v našem snaţení budete
chtít pokračovat. Myslím si, ţe stále existuje spousta moţností, kam se časopis můţe
posunout. Jen bych si přála, aby si naši následovníci uvědomili, ţe za vznikem časopisu
stojí nemalé úsilí hrstky lidí, která se rozhodla, ţe chce kromě plnění studijních povinností
dělat i něco navíc.
A toto něco se dá dělat jen s opravdovým zapálením pro danou věc, proto doufám, ţe
mezi Vámi ještě jsou takto zapálení jedinci, kteří čekají na to, ţe se budou moci zapojit.
V případě zájmu nás neváhejte kontaktovat, buď přes facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/HkChronicle
nebo e-mailem: [email protected]
Ale teď uţ ke čtvrtému číslu, které máte před sebou. Čeká Vás spousta zajímavých věcí, například se dozvíte něco o našem
oblíbenci profesoru Šteinerovi, seznámíte se v krátkých rozhovorech s dalšími spoluţáky nebo můţete zjistit více informací o letošní
Graduation night. Přeji Vám příjemné čtení.
Protoţe se akademický rok pomalu, ale jistě blíţí ke svému konci, přeji Vám hodně úspěchů u zkoušek a následně
odpočinkové prázdniny.

Prof. MUDr. Ivo Šteiner, CSc
Profesor Šteiner byl pro mne již
od 3. ročníku záhadnou osobou.
Netřeba dodávat, že jsem se
během tohoto rozhovoru o něm
mnoho dozvěděla. Posuďte
sami.
Narodil jste se v Londýně ve Velké Británii. Můžete
nám toho trochu říct o svém dětství?
Přestoţe jsem se narodil v Londýně a jsem drţitelem
britského pasu, mám dvojí občanství, české a britské. Oba
mí rodiče byli Češi a z bývalého Československa odjeli přes
Francii ještě před Hitlerem, neţ k nám v roce 1939 přišli
nacisti.
Co vás motivovalo ke studiu medicíny? Proč zrovna
patologie?
Na druhou otázku je snazší odpovědět. Musím říct, ţe v naší
rodině ţádný lékař nebyl a já jsem jednoduše neměl
nejmenší představu, co dělat. Takţe to byl víceméně nápad
rodičů: „Proč nezkusit medicínu?“ říkali.
Co se týče patologie, kdyţ nám ve 3. ročníku začala,
nesnášel jsem pitvy a snaţil jsem se jim vyhnout. Nicméně
v letním semestru jsme na praktika dostali profesora
Vladimíra Vortela. Byl to nadšený učitel, podporoval nás;
takţe motivován jeho entuziasmem, rozhodl jsem se, ţe
vyzkouším patologii. Mou původní myšlenkou bylo, ţe
nastoupím na ústav patologie, získám atestaci a pak se
začnu věnovat internímu lékařství. Po atestaci jsem se
rozhodl, ţe zde zůstanu.

v zahraničí.
Své dětství, přes základní a střední školu jsem strávil
v Praze. Nicméně v éře komunismu bylo nemyslitelné, ţe by
se někdo narodil v Londýně. Nebylo mi proto umoţněno
studium medicíny v Praze. Rok jsem musel pracovat a
teprve potom jsem začal studovat tady v Hradci, v roce
1958. Odpromovali jsme v roce 1964. Letos budeme slavit
50 let od promoce, takzvanou „Zlatou promoci“.
Největší výzvou byl studijní plán. Snaţili jsme se pozměnit
studijní plán tak, aby byl více zaměřen na kliniku a méně na
teoretické obory. Byl to jeden z nejtěţších úkolů.
Museli jsme ale udělat i další změny, například sjednocení
interních oddělení. V minulosti byla interní oddělení dvě, 1.
a 2., a ta vyučovala podle naprosto odlišných plánů.
Studenti, kteří začali na 1. oddělení se nikdy nedostali do

them…However, during the second semester we got a
teacher at the practical named Professor Vladimir Vortel.
He was a very enthusiastic and supportive teacher. So motivated by his enthusiasm, I decided that I would try pathology. My original idea was that I would join the pathology department, have an attestation, and then start Internal
Medicine. After attestation I decided to stay here.
You were born in London, UK. Can you tell us about

I applied for this scholarship aimed on cardiac diseases
because from the beginning, my professors, Fingerland and Vortel asked me to specialize in heart pathology, as there was a first- class clinical cardio surgery
unit which was looking for a cooperation with some
pathologists.
Uganda is approximately 1300m above sea level so
there was a very nice weather. At that time, there
was a modern hospital built by the British as a sort of
gift to celebrate the independence of Uganda, in 1962
-1963. There was also a British professor of Pathology
and a very international staff working at the department. I spent a year and a half there…
By the way Uganda is a very nice country with national
parks, reserves, and museums.
Kuwait, that was in 1989. I left for Kuwait just 2
weeks before the so called Velvet revolution. For my
whole life I was looking forward to the fall of communism and I eventually missed it for about two
weeks.
Anyhow, at that time, there was a traditional cooperation between this hospital and a medical faculty
established in Kuwait.
So they were looking for teachers and specialists. A
friend of mine, a cardiologist who had a pretty high
position there, somehow arranged a place for a cardiac pathologist.
It was an entirely different atmosphere compared
to Uganda: In Arabic countries, autopsies are not
performed…so it was purely biopsy services.
I was planning to stay there for several years actually. I went there in November 89 and on the 2nd of
August 1990, there was an invasion from …Saddam
Hussein; So I experienced that.
After some 2-3 weeks, due to the fact that the former Czechoslovakia was on good terms with Iraq, we
were allowed to leave the country.
There was a convoy of some 20 cars going to Iraq,
Turkey....it took us almost a week to reach our homeland. When we finally crossed the border of Iraq with
Turkey: „‟phew‟‟ we were relieved that we made it.
What do you usually do during your free times?
Literature. Music : Classical music, Jazz music…I have a
special hobby which doesn‟t require much time: Collecting tea boxes. I have almost a thousand metal
boxes, wooden , porcelain… not paper. So that‟s my
hobby. We have a dog, a fox terrier which is very lively…It requires much attention.
You have passed the age of retirement. What
motivates you to keep on going?
Aha. Good question. Since last year I‟m only working part
time. 4 days a week.
Well I like pathology, I like teaching. I teach quite a lot.
I can‟t imagine staying at home the whole day, so it is
a sort of hobby as well…
Some students would like to know why there are
not regular tests in pathology during the year?
We regard students as adults and not as children. You
may remember that at the very first lecture we said
that pathology was difficult because it is so extensive.
And we recommended students to study continuously.
You can ask anything during the practical lessons, or
the lectures but it‟s up to you, you are adults.
I think regular tests fit theoretical subjects best. However, after graduation, you will find out that you know
virtually nothing from the theory.
What should a student do in order to get a 1
during the final exam? What’s the minimum a student should know in order to pass?
It is impossible (laughs)…He should know the matter.
You may remember we don‟t focus on minor details
but we appreciate the basic knowledge.
Well, the student should also have good result in
the written test. If I see that a student has 90 points
out of 100. I conclude that he is mature, and well prepared. Perhaps I will not ask him the primitive questions, it will be more or less a discussion on some
special topics…It‟s difficult to give a recipe. Just study
continuously, that‟s the best way.

Graduation night : So what is the fuss about Grad’s night anyway?
At the discussion table, I sat with our head of sponsorship department and prospective sponsors, a
seemingly casual question has been thrown out but
talks of 10,000 CZK crowns hang heavily in the air.
How much of an incentive is offered in an annual tradition, a motivation for charity or our love for the 6th
year graduates-the soon-to-be doctors, whom for the
majority I do not personally know- would drive 2
medics to do this business talk, on behalf of the few
other serious members?
Perhaps it was the second nature in blagging
through 4 years of exams, I glibly thought up this answer in just a second:
“In this quiet town of Hradec Kralove, there is no bigger event for the international students than the celebration of our graduates, doctors to be in this world.
It is the singlehandedly the most important event for
every student here who is faced with the hell of having left home to a faraway place where their language
is not spoken; they struggle through one of the harshest selection processes and only those who endured
by hook or by crook are those who remain accountable at this event to become the representation of
hope, for those on the journey and the university‟s
pride. Without failure, the university lavishes 15,000
CZK crowns annually upon this success and the town
of Hradec Kralove has its part in the creation of these
expatriate healers who will henceforth answer to their
respective callings, each noble by the effort and intent
invested. If there is a time during which you wish to
show to students that you are interested in them, as
they will be in return, the time is now. Graduation‟s
night is the event!
The Graduates: Class of 2014

According to Prof. Kuba, this year marks the 14th anniversary
since the beginning in 2001. I believe the report lies buried
under the tons of work our Dean for the English program
puts into it, somewhere in a dingy cabinet, alongside the
plethora of complaints that now constitutes a Pandora's box.
that very same year in which I‟m now addressing…
Of greater relevance to me however, was the fact that it also
marked the beginning of my personal involvement with THE
Grad‟s night organization. The venue shifted to the Congress
hall of Aldis (which I believe will remain true for a long time

using fashion as a platform.
“17. května uspořádali zahraniční studenti v hotelu Amber –
velmi zdařilé společenské akce, které se zúčastnili téměř
všichni zahraniční studenti naší Lékařské fakulty studující v
angličtině, mnoho učitelů, ale jen velmi málo českých
studentů. Kromě vlastního kulturního programu, představení promujících studentů a slavnostních projevů bylo
součástí večera vyhlášení nejlepších učitelů fakulty
volených studenty v rámci jednotlivých ročníků a také volba
nejlépe oblečených studentů, kteří přicházejí ve velké
míře ve svém tradičním národním oděvu.
Graduate‟s Night byla opět organizována v
důstojném stylu a dokumentovala, že velká část našich
zahraničních studentů má zájem a schopnost se
společensky pozitivně uplatňovat a snaží se i o bližší
kontakty se svými učiteli.
There was a great deal on how we were supposed
to show our stuff out there, on stage and it was all rehearsed. It was a return of the ideal of Grad‟s night highlighted in Prof. Kuba‟s report with a bang. I heard many tales of Yumi Mikajiri and Sunny Hsieh pushing the strings
from behind. I dealt with Sozan Fathi regarding some complications of the performance. Nishant Joshi was a joy alongside Sozan as the Masters of the Ceremony.
It had to be the boldest video Izwar prepared for us
from the 6th year students‟ interviews. I almost laughed
when the graduate student Christer described Prof. Zuzana
Červinkova as his source of fear, candidly, as the Dean attended the ceremony (in the absence of Prof. Kuba) alongside with our lovely physiology teacher being his wife. There
was also a heartfelt confession from our Dean-shared by the
majority of students-about improving the integration of international students. I was overjoyed when I watch the videos of the eminent Prof. Ivo Steiner and Dr. Vladimir Kobli žek
as they addressed the students.
When I look back at my first encounter with Graduation Night, I sardonically realize that I have attended so

There is also much I would like to speak of about the

the year during which my good friends… and somehow by

Zdeněk je student 4.

lékařství, absolvoval
FChT v Pardubicích a
plní si s nadšením
svůj sen studia
medicíny. Od druhého
ročníku do současnosti je členem
předsednictva Akademického senátu naší
fakulty a od letošního
roku i zástupcem studentů naší fakulty v
senátu Univerzity Karlovy v Praze.
Pak to byli vědci, o kterých jsem hlavně jako
mladší rád četl: Louis Pasteur, Paul Ehrlich, Alexander
Fleming, Marie Curie-Skłodowska a nebo naše málo
známá Vlasta Kálalová di Lotti, která jako mladá lékařka
založila za finanční podpory T. G. Masaryka v Bagdádu
nemocnici, to byl tehdy velmi odvážný krok. Každý den
mě inspiruje někdo další. :)
Kdyby si měl možnost něco vzkázat mladším studentů naší fakulty, co by to bylo?
Ţe i kdyţ je to často náročné a před kaţdou zkouškou
si testujeme svoje hranice, tak je medicína krásný obor,
pro který se vyplatí občas potit krev. Rozhodně jsem na
medicíně „vyrostl“. A hlavně! Nezapomeňte kvůli samému studiu si ho taky užít, dokud je čas!
Tři věci, které by sis s sebou vzal na pustý ostrov.
Čím si myslíš, že tě naše fakulta nejvíc obohatila?
Určitě v mnoha věcech. :) Samotné studium
medicíny je specifické, nabízí pohled do různých
zákoutí lidského života a během klinické výuky se
denně setkáváme s mnoha lidskými osudy. To
člověka nutí si utvářet vlastní pohled na ţivot a
přeuspořádávat si žebříček hodnot. Velmi inspirativní je pro mě stálé setkávání se s odborníky ve
svých oborech, spolužáky, přáteli a pacienty.
Oblíbený hrneček na kávu s knížkou a Aladinovu

Kde vidíš sám sebe za pět let?
Tak to sám nevím. Po zkušenostech z minulosti
jsem si už raději dlouhodobější plánování odpustil.
:) Uvidíme, kam mě osud zavane, ale vidím se někde v klinice.
Kdo tě v životě nejvíce inspiroval a proč?

Marie Holubek
Marie is a 5th year
medical student from
Dresden, Germany.
As an academic rep,
she agreed to explain
to us in more details
what the academic
senate is about.
Whenever students have some kind of ideas about
what should be improved or changed, even at the
end of the year, they should know that there is
someone who is in direct contact with the dean.
What have you learned the most about studying
here?
The most amazing thing about this place compared to,
let‟s say, studying at home is the fact that there are
a lot of people from so many different countries
studying here…You get to learn about different cultures and religions. It‟s like they are all coming
together, to get to know each other… I think that‟s
pretty amazing….
Who has inspired you the most in your life and
why?
Why did you run for the academic senate?
Because I think that an academic rep represents all
the international students. I think it‟s important to
have someone from the upper years, someone who
has already gone through all…who knows most
teachers, knows how the system works…I feel confident that I can voice up the opinions of students.
What is important is that they can come up to you and
tell you what they think, no matter the problem.
What is your job as an academic senate representative?
The academic senate is about compromising…There
are 2 international representatives, their Czech
counterparts and the teachers. We discuss different
topics at each session: last time, we discussed
about the expenses from last year. We have the
dean‟s election coming up so we have to talk about
that. We are also going to get some timetable
change maybe…
Seriously (laughs)...I have loads of people who have
inspired me: My parents, my friends, different people for different reasons. It‟s really hard to just pick
one…
Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
I‟d rather think about where I‟m seeing myself next
year and I hope I‟ll be graduating…I‟m checking
different options right now: what‟s possible, where
to go to…Basically you are free to go anywhere
when you graduate from here, so we will see...I
will definitely be working somewhere.

Kevin is a 4th year medical
student from Malaysia. He
is also a prolific member of
the Malaysian community in
HK.
As the other half of the
Academic representative for
international students, he
was keen enough to sit with
us for an interview.
What is your best quality? Your worst flaw?
My best quality is persistence to the point of obsession. I won‟t actually back down from any conflicting pressure. Because when I find that something
is necessary, I will simply do it. My worst flaw is
that by nature I‟m not really sociable and I don‟t
actually take interest in other people‟s affairs.
Therefore when I approach them with very serious issues, they actually think I‟m opportunistic.
Three things you will take on an empty island
Why did you run for the Academic Senate?
I run because I thought there were some issues that
were underrepresented among the students and
teachers. In most cases, people don‟t actually
care but there is a minority with interesting inputs. I just wanted to link these two really…
What do you think are the benefits of studying
here?
To be very blunt, it would be an internet connection,
my laptop… and when I do get bored for being
alone, a shotgun (laughs)
where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
I will be on somebody‟s else‟ s a***s (laughs). I‟d be
creating troubles wherever I go because I thrive
on solutions. If it is physically, it might be Germany for postgraduate studies but… I really have no
clues.
Contact: Facebook- Kevin Kuan Boon sen
As I believe (though many people won‟t believe it) it
actually has one of the highest quality of education in terms of Medicine. I mean, when you think
about purkyne and our very own Carl Rokitansky
from Hradec Kralove, they are certainly significant
people! I do believe however that the implementation of the curriculum according to the teaching
system has to be much improved.

Oficiálně od července 2013.

Je pravda, že můžete koupit některé suroviny ve velkých supermarketech ale výběr těch produktů je tam velmi omezený,

Myšlenka otevřít takový obchod v Hradci Králové vznikla už

všimla, že nejsem sama na to kdo si chce vyzkoušet doma ty
recepty vždyť i zákazníci se občas obrátili na mě jako servírka
s podobnými otázky jak to dělají a kde mohou koupit suroviny.
Jaké jsou ceny? Jsou to pro zákazníky přijatelné? Máte

The CAR crisis: Why does it matter?
The Central African Republic (CAR) is a landlocked
country localized in central
Africa. It is bordered by
Cameroon to the West, Chad
to the north, Sudan and
South Sudan to the East and
to the South, the Democratic
Republic of Congo and the
Congo.
The country gained its independence from France on
the 13th August 1960. It has
relatively been unstable ever
since.
Simplified explanation of the conflict:
The beginning of the latest crisis:
The Seleka coalition rebels that seized power and ousted the
president Bozizé, at the beginning of the conflict are mainly
Muslims, in a country where Christians constitute the majority
according to the ethnic groups
(It should be noted that the CAR has always had a Christian
president before this conflict).
The rebels imposed themselves by force to the population:
Rape, forced executions and torture were common tactics
used. Additionally, there were reports of mass graves with
decomposed bodies discovered at a military camp in Bangui.
The resignation of Michel Djotodia was followed by the withdrawal of Seleka‟s groups from the country‟s south. This immediately lead to scenes of joy and crowd cheering from the
local population , followed by reprisals from Christians antiBalaka militia from that same population seeking revenge from
Muslims who first mistreated them.
As if the multiple coups the Central African government has
experienced in the past 50 years weren‟t enough, Bangui (the
capital city) was to be the stage of yet another military coup
that has led to the most recent humanitarian crisis in central
Africa.
The Anti-Balaka (whose real names mean anti-machete in
the Sango language) developed a strong desire to eliminate
Muslims from the country, worsening the inter-religious violence, threatening peace and forcing countless Muslims to flee
to neighboring countries.
Timeline:
- In November 2012, new Seleka rebel coalition (formed
mainly by muslims rebels) already controlled some
parts of the country including the North and the
South.
- In March 2013, they have seized power in Bangui, forcing the incumbent president to flee to a neighboring
country. Its leader Michel Djotodia suspended the
constitution and was sworn in president few months
later. Later, in August, Djotodia in sworn in president
of the CAR
- In December 2013: The violence in the country is still
growing. There are reports of tension between religious groups, namely Christian and Muslims.
- 10 January 2014: Michel Djotodia resigns under international pressure and flees the country. Despite officially disbanding the militia group, the killings and lootings continue in the capital Bangui.
- 20 January 2014: Catherine Samba-Panza is elected Interim President .
Interventions:
-5000 soldiers from African Union peacekeeping forces constituting the Misca (Mission Internationale de Soutien à la Centrafique) were deployed in December
-
France has deployed 1600 troops to support the African
peacekeeping forces (The Operation is called Sangaris)
- The interim president has requested additional troops from
the UN which will take time to be deployed.

EN
Outcomes of the conflict:

Refugees fleeing to neighboring countries:
News reports used the term „‟Ethnic religious cleansing
to actually qualify what is taking place in the CAR. Muslims
used to make 15% of the total population but the majority
has now fled to the north (towards Chad). The High Commissioner for Refugees (HCR) has already registered more
than 8000 people, adding to the 92,000 refugees in Cameroon before the crisis. Others go south (to Congo or to DRC)
Religious cleansing is becoming increasingly widespread
in the region (ex: Boko Haram in Nigeria). This is
threatening the stability of many countries.

1. Yeezianity:
After Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism…let me introduce you to a new religion: YEEZIANITY
Yeezianity is a newly founded religion in which followers believe in the one who calls himself Yeezus.
It was founded by Brian Liebman, a 23 year old American citizen in January 2014.
The disciples are called „‟Ye‟ciples‟‟ and their church is the
„‟Church of Yeezus‟‟. Anybody can be a Ye‟ciple without renouncing to their primary faith (Christianity, Taoism, etc..).
Just as other monotheistic religions, they have a god
(a savior).
To join, it is pretty simple: Take a photo stating I believe in
Yeezus and post it on your social media accounts
