Stethoscope Blue
The Doctor With a Big Heart by Anna Peacocks
Dr. Dan Ivankovich or Daniel Anthony Ivankovich is not exactly who you would interpret as the conventional type of doctor. Born in Zagreb, Croatia and has been residing in Chicago, Illinois since he was 3, Dr. Dan Ivankovich is not your typical doctor with glasses sitting right in front of a desk all day with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. Instead, he is one of those doctors with a passion for life and love for what he does. Being a doctor involves a hectic lifestyle and there is nothing exceptional for Dr. Dan Ivankovich but he managed to squeeze time in for his passion for music in his life. He is a doctor, musician, reverend and a man full of heart.
Dr. Dan Ivankovich is known as the 7-foot surgeon or even more so, Dr. Dan 'D Rock' Ivankovich, The Right Reverend or Dr. D and is a part of a band named Chicago Blues All Stars which concentrates of blues, funk, R&B and Soul music. There are also eight other members which are also in the group who shares the same passion for music as Dr. Dan Ivankovich does. The band performs shows in various venues in Chicago and the rest of USA.
If he is not performing with the band, he does what he does best, helping patients in need but Dr. Dan Ivankovich does more that that, he helps the poor who are in need of medical attention. He is the co-founder of One Patient Global Health Initiative which is a non-profit organization and also works with another medical institution known as The Bone Squad which helps provide necessary medical resources and care to the more underserved population regardless whether they are able to pay or otherwise.
He has helped thousands of patients and is still doing so even if he knows he is earning less than what normal surgeons are making. He even traveled to Haiti on his own expense to treat the victims after a devastating earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010. He was then honored by the National Social Workers Association as the 2010 Public Citizen of The Year for his courageous act. He even wrote about his experience in Haiti in his personal blog, Reverenddoctord.com. He is also co-writing a memoir with one of his good friend, Bazelais Suy whom he has met while he was in Haiti.
Many have claimed that Dr. Dan Ivankovich is a true inspiration and has definitely changed more lives than he has ever imagined. He wanted to make an impact in his city and the people in a positive manner to inspire positive changes and to bring light to the issues that involves the need for medical attention for the poor and that is what he will continue to strive for.
