A word from the editor-in-chief of the Timok Medical Gazette |

| We dedicate this double issue of the Timok Medical Gazette to the
great intellectual, colleague, excellent doctor, surgeon,
oncologist, medical historian, lecturer at numerous medical and
historical symposia and congresses, including the Timok Medical Days
and the Symposiums of Medicine in Art, humanists and enthusiasts Dr.
Vukasin Vule Antic . My great friend and brother from aunt Vukasin Vule Antic, while still an excellent student at the Faculty of Medicine in Belgrade, began to engage in scientific work. Then we wrote together two student papers in the field of breast cancer oncology, published in TMG and presented orally at the Student Congress in Crikvenica in 1982. I am filled with immeasurable sadness by the memory of him and the days spent with him, filled with enthusiasm, the joy of engaging in inventive scientific and professional work, but also socializing and humor. He had a very fulfilled, creative and quality life in every respect, dedicated to science, books and film art, especially animated film (one of the founders of the school of animated film in Vranje -SAF), and literature, music and fine arts. His father Milorad Mile Antic, who introduced him to the world of art, was the first academic Vranje painter and sculptor (his paintings are on the first and last page of this double issue of TMG). Our dear Vule had a creative, happy and fulfilled life. Pablo Neruda's words referred to him: …the one who does not travel, the one who does not read, the one who does not listen to music, the one who does not find pleasure in himself, the one who does not accept help, the one who turns into a slave of habit by setting the same restrictions every day, the one who does not change routine , the one who doesn't talk to people he doesn't know .... the one who runs away from passion and its hot emotions, the one who doesn't change his life when he is not satisfied, the one who doesn't want to give up his security ... lives today , do it today, take a risk today, don't let it die easily, don't forget to be happy .... Vule's death in full swing is a great tragedy and an irreparable loss for his family, friends, relatives and patients, whom he successfully treated as a top surgeon, oncologist, doctor and humanist, not only surgically but also warmly, with empathy. The only consolation is, as Ivo Andric said, "to feel human only if we create and love" and our Vule was filled with work and love. His glory!
