Dr. Kenan Arnautović is a famous and well-known American neurosurgeon and a committed humanist. And it would be incomplete if we didn't also say Bosnian. Since I know a little about it, I would say that in the world as it is, the latter—Bosnia—remains exactly the title, which is deserved not only by birth but also by humanism, professional ethics, and tireless work on the idea of an open and free society without discrimination. Here is a fresh example of a native of Sarajevo.

AN AMERICAN AND A BOSNIAN: It is time to state on this occasion that there is already a significant circle of American intellectuals—from journalists, through professors at American universities, to exceptional doctors such as Dr. Arnautović—who can carry this and that ethical title of Bosnian—a fighter for a better world that belongs to all people. I am privileged for many of them, like Dr. . to call Arnautović his friends. This is how the universe wanted, that in Kenan's case, two happy circumstances coincided: the fact that he is a Bosnian in America and that he is a doctor who does not recognize world borders. And that he is tireless. I just don't know if he found his profession—medicine—or if she still found him. WHO CHOSE WHO? Truly, as he used to say, Sir William Olser (1849–1919), a famous Canadian physician and one of the founders of the professional specialization program of the even more famous American hospital Johns Hopkins, doctors (such as Dr. Arnautović) should often be praised for recognition. And remind them of the importance of their profession, because it is simply like this: "Allow me to congratulate you on choosing a vocation that offers a combination of intellectual and moral interests that is not found in any other profession. It is a real happiness that you have chosen that vocation and burned in it to the benefit of the people," said Dr. Olser on one occasion. I will add another anthological thought that cannot be done without: "Medicine is not only art but simply love for humanity"—said none other than Hippocrates. One foot in Bosnia and the other in America—neurosurgeon Dr. Arnautović saved many people around the world. And it is not a problem for him to run from Memphis to Sarajevo, Zagreb, and any European or other cities for a few days—to operate on those who need it the most. There is indeed a long list of ordinary and famous people whom this eminent academician has helped. Among other things, he is a regular member of the World Academy of Neurosurgeons (WANS). That respectable society encourages cooperation and a professional network of the absolute best in the world elite of doctors and, as it is recognized in America, leaders in neurosurgery. Of course, the members of this academy are chosen based on their scientific contributions, innovations, and educational efforts. He is also a regular member of our Bosnian-Herzegovinian-American Academy of Sciences and Arts (BHAAAS), as well as a member of our Working Group for Bosnia and Herzegovina (Working Group for BiH). Everything started in Sarajevo Dr. Arnautović was born in Sarajevo. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in his hometown. He was also educated in Hanover, Germany. He was the best student of his generation. He did part of his internship in Sarajevo and part in Sinsheim-Heidelberg. His professional biography states that as a young doctor, he worked for several months as the deputy chief doctor at the XIV Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo in 1984. He has a master's degree in neurosurgery on the topic of "spinal trauma" (SCIWORA) and a doctorate on the topic of "Chiari I malformations. in adults." And as doctors of his caliber often become media celebrities without their will, so Dr. Arnautović's truly stellar moments occurred when he emigrated to America; he completed his second specialization at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock. For the past two decades, he has been working at the Semmes Murphey Clinic (https://www.semmes-murphey.com/kenan-arnautovic-md-phd) in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He is also a professor at the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. (Erol Avdović)
