At the age of 33, Dr Tankred Stöbe gave up his job, his apartment and his car and applied for a position with “Doctors Without Borders“ in an attempt to give his life new meaning and a new direction. Seventeen years later, he has been to fifteen countries on nineteen different deployments and is far from thinking about giving up. On the contrary. Whenever Tankred Stöbe is not abroad, he works in internal medicine and as critical care specialist, and is the leading emergency doctor in Berlin. He was president of the German section of “Doctors Without Borders” and has been awarded the Paracelsus medal by the German National Doctor’s Association for his “attitude and his unflinching readiness to help others”.
