Zamjenik ravnatelja iRavnatelj KliniËke bolnice Osijek iskre sjeÊanja upravo nato vrijeme inicijacije, stvaranja elaborata, opstrukcije nekih“zasluænika” koji su na razne naËine sprijeËavali otvaranjeovog vitalnog centra za dijagnostiku i lijeËenje kardiova-skularnih bolesnika davajuÊi svakojaku pripomoÊ u naka-nama otvaranja takvih centara daleko od Osijeka. Na sva-kom koraku opstruirala se prenamjena prostora, kupnjaaparature, edukacija lijeËnika i medicinskih sestara... Stoga bih molio u duhu kolegijalnosti i (sada veÊ) me-diokohistoriografske istine, da objavite ovaj Ëlanak kako bise ispravila nenamjerna nepravda. »itav projekt poËeo je2003. godine, a realiziran 2005. godine, kada je Laborato-rij otvoren. Ne smijemo dopustiti relikvije nekih proπlihvremena u kojima su paradoksalne nezasluæene lovorikebrali drugi, a oni koji su ostvarili projekt nisu niti spomenu-ti.Naime, nakon odbijanja zahtjeva 2002. godine, tije-kom 2003. na inicijativu tadaπnje predstojnice Interne kli-nike i πefa Kardiovaskularnog odjela klinike prof. dr. sc.Katje »atipoviÊ Veselica i Udruge kardiovaskularnih bole-snika saËinjen je elaborat i pokrenut zahtjev prema Ravna-teljstvu bolnice o potrebitosti osnivanja kateterizacijskoglaboratorija kao vitalnoga projekta. Tadaπnje Ravnateljstvoshvatilo je i prihvatilo ovu inicijativu te je stvoren tim Rav-nateljstva, predstojnika Interne i Kirurπke klinike te Odjelaza anesteziologiju i Odjela za radiologiju tadaπnje KliniËkebolnice Osijek koji Êe delegirati lijeËnike, medicinske ses-tre i tehniËare za edukaciju. U meuvremenu potpisan jeugovor o suradnji izmeu KliniËkog bolniËkog centra Za-greb i KliniËke bolnice Osijek, pa su tako poslana prva dvakardiologa, jedan kirurg, pa kasnije joπ dva zavrπena kirur-ga na subspecijalizaciju iz kardijalne kirurgije, dva ane-steziologa te medicinski tehniËari, medicinske sestre, in-strumentarke, anestezioloπki tehniËari, inæenjeri radiologi-je koji su odlazili na edukaciju u Zagreb. Zapoπljava sekardiokirurg s iskustvom i ustrojava kardiokirurπka jedini-An article entitled “Five-Year Work of the Laboratoryfor the Catheterization of Heart and Invasive Cardiol-ogy of the Clinical Hospital Centre Osijek”, by au-thor Dr. Sandra MakaroviÊ1, was published in the issue ofKardio list in December 2010 in the column “Other”. Thearticle mentions the establishment of the Laboratory in2005 and now the certificates of gratitude have been dis-tributed among the colleagues who have recognized theneed for opening catheterization laboratory helping us inits establishment and work. This is how a lot has been donefor the patients from the region of Slavonia and Baranja...Reading the article as a former Deputy Principal andPrincipal of the Osijek Clinical Hospital, I remember thetime of initiation, preparation of the study, obstruction bysome “meritous persons” who in various ways tried to pre-vent opening of this vital center for diagnostics and treat-ment of cardiovascular patients giving different kinds ofhelp in opening such centers far away from Osijek. Atevery step they obstructed the refurbishment of premises,purchase of devices, training of physicians and nurses... Therefore, I would like to ask you in the name of colle-giality and for the sake of historic truth to publish this arti-cle as to make accidentally caused injustice right. The proj-ect started in 2003 and was implemented in 2005 whenthe Laboratory was opened. We should not allow any her-itage of past times occur when paradoxical non-deservedrecognitions and credits were taken by others, and thosewho implemented the project were not even mentioned.After the request in 2002 was rejected, during 2003 onrequest by the former principal of the Internal MedicineClinic and Chief of Cardiovascular Department of the Cli-nic, Prof. Katja »atipoviÊ Veselica, PhD and Association ofCardiovascular Patients, a study was prepared and the re-quest was submitted to the Hospital Directorate of necessi-ty of establishment of catheterization laboratory as a vitalproject.  The former Directorate understood and acceptedthis initiative and formed a Directorate team, team of Prin-ciples of Internal Medicine and Surgical Clinic, Depart-ment for Anesthesiology and the Radiology Department ofthe Osijek Clinical Hospital that delegated physicians andnurses for training. In the meantime, an agreement of co-operation between the Clinical Hospital Centre Zagreb andOsijek Clinical Hospital was concluded, so two cardiolo-gists were sent, one surgeon and later  two educated sur-geons were sent for subspecialization in cardiac surgery,two anesthesiologists and nurses, instrument nurses, anes-thesiologist nurses, radiology engineers who went to Za-greb for the purpose of receiving training.

The Hospitaltechnical department designed the project according tostandards, equipment was purchased and all preconditionsfor opening of the Laboratory and Cardiosurgery in Osijekwere fulfilled.   As always, despite difficulties we remember, whichshould not be mentioned, the willingness and enthusiasmof the above mentioned medical staff again stressed its ba-sic task that proved to be successful in the long run andpermanently to the benefit of numerous cardiovascular pa-tients.
