YOU ONLY KNOW HOW FAR YOU CAN GO WHEN YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR A cancer surgeon and acclaimed academic turns the scalpel inward — exploring the systems that guide, limit, and often distance us from what truly matters. Beginning with stories from his childhood in a mountain village near the Black Sea, he traces the growing gap between ideals and reality — in healthcare, and in life. In this powerful debut, personal memoir meets social reflection and existential questioning. With clarity and compassion, the author reveals what's at risk when efficiency overrides human connection, and when authenticity is quietly replaced by conformity. His observations cut through assumptions, challenge deep-rooted beliefs, and question the roles we're expected to play. As the journey unfolds, the author introduces the Zigana model — a dynamic compass for those seeking to grow consciously and courageously, beyond boundaries and silence. Cutting into the silence is literary non-fiction at its most vital — a call to rethink freedom, care, and meaning in a world shaped by invisible systems. What others say about Cutting into the silence: A masterfully composed work of depth and vision. With precision and humanity, it exposes the sociological and economic forces shaping healthcare — and will open many eyes." – Prof. dr. Filip Dewallens, Managing Partner, Dewallens & Partners Law Firm; Professor of Medical Law, University of Antwerp "A thoughtful, nuanced, and sharply written work that makes complex issues in healthcare and society accessible, without ever losing sight of respect or ethics. The chapter on 'Time' is particularly powerful — stressing the importance of learning to set the right priorities during training, and reflecting on how we are all, in some way, going astray. Beautifully and sharply written, yet to the point." – Linus Vanlaere, Ethicist "A compelling, genre-defying work of depth and momentum, marked by the author's remarkable insight and layered storytelling." – Prof. Yvonne Denier, Professor of Ethics in Medicine, University of Leuven "Unique literary masterpiece full of knowledge and wisdom." – Mitchell Pontzeele, Publisher, Lannoo Campus
