In a couple of weeks Christmas will be here, then comes the new year. As the new year rolls around, we make our resolutions. Most resolutions concern finishing a project, going back to school, getting a better job, or losing weight and taking care of our health. I have already set mine -- eat better, exercise more, and spend more time meditating. I won't know how long it will last, but I know I have to protect myself from falling victim to a number of deadly diseases. That is why I found this next book, "The Killers Amongst Us: How You Can Avoid Falling A Victim to One of These Deadly Diseases," by Dr. Christos Petridis so interesting. I want to do the most I can to live a long a full life. Do you?

What inspired you to author this book?
Many thousands of people die
every year from diseases they didn’t even know that they existed. The aim of
this book is to save thousands of lives globally by raising awareness for some
deadly diseases anyone could suffer but has the opportunity to be diagnosed
early and therefore cured in time. The pain nearly every human on this planet

eg. by a devious disease. This book opens people’s minds to these diseases and
gives them a structured path on how to find the right expert in this field and
what can be done to survive.
Where did you get the
inspiration for your book’s cover?
The background of my book cover is inspired by the typical
environment during my career. Somehow cold, sterile, maybe a bit threatening.
Who has been the most significant influence on you personally as a writer?
During my career I have seen
many patients suffer from diseases, that led to dramatic emergencies and quite
often to fatal outcome. Until most recently in my position as Head of division
of vascular surgery I always felt very sorry for patients who could have been
saved just if they had known about their disease earlier.
This circumstance drove me to the mission to inform and educate as much people
as possible about these different diseases and show them a way to handle them
in order to survive them.
What were your
struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?
The main obstacle you face as a surgeon is the lack of time,
followed by the lack of time. Especially if you try to give your very best
being a caring father and husband, there is even more lack of time.

What do you consider
your greatest success in life?
I have been very blessed to thrive through my career as a vascular surgeon. At the age of 34 I became one of the youngest consultant vascular surgeons in Germany, and at the age of 36 I took over as Head of Division as Germany's youngest surgeon.

tens of thousands of lives globally. My biggest goal is to get the word spread,
