This autobiography chronicles the life and career of Haralampos M.
Moutsopoulos, an internationally renowned professor of medicine and
prolific researcher on Sjoegren's syndrome and autoimmune rheumatic
diseases. In language that is simple and direct, he takes us on a
fascinating journey from the days of his first scientific
awakenings at a hospital in his native town of Ioannina, Greece,
through his university years in Athens and training in the U.S., to
his eventual return to his homeland. In Greece, he developed two
centers of excellence in his field, first at the newly founded
University of Ioannina Medical School Department of Internal
Medicine and, second, at the Athens University Medical School,
Department of Pathophysiology, where he taught until his retirement
in 2011. Along the way, he introduces us to his teachers and
mentors, and to the colleagues and students he mentored in turn,
many of whom went on to assume high-ranking positions in Greece and
abroad. A major theme throughout the book is his impassioned
struggle for excellence, meritocracy, and transparency in
universities and in the National Health System in Greece. Peppered
with both amusing and unsettling incidents from this lifelong
crusade to raise professional standards and against misconduct, the
book is a must-read for anyone interested in learning about or
entering the medical profession.
