Ladislav Kabelka
Ladislav Kabelka specializes in geriatrics, palliative medicine and pain treatment. Recently he became Senior Consultant at the Department of Long-Term Care at the Hospital of the Order of the Brothers Hospitallers in Brno. Before that, he worked at St. Joseph’s hospice and pain centre in Rajhrad for twelve years. Hospice palliative care has taught him to perceive illness as part of life and to try to help not only with medication but also by investigating the connections between the individual’s illness and his or her life. He claims that contemporary health care does not know how to support living with illness, and instead offers expensive suffering. He is Chairman of the Czech Society for Palliative Medicine and is also a member of the board of the Czech Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics. He lectures at the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University. He lives in Brno and is married with three daughters. He likes folk music and opera, spending time at his cottage and hiking.
