Cyril Mat\u011bjka, also known as \u201cCyril D\u011bcka\u0159\u201d, graduated from the Second Faculty of Medicine at Charles University. Alongside his medical studies, he spent ten years working in theatre environments \u2014 from Dobe\u0161ka to Broadway and Hybernia \u2014 as a lighting technician, where he developed a love for improvisation, humour, and working with audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After completing his paediatrics certification, he gained experience across hospitals and emergency medicine, later adding a specialisation in neonatology and currently preparing for a certification in paediatric neurology. He has long pointed out the overload of children\u2019s emergency care and the need for better education for parents. His social media content grew directly out of everyday medical practice \u2014 first through satirical memes, later through short educational videos now followed by hundreds of thousands of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With humour, perspective, and accessible language, he explains common mistakes in childcare, breaks down myths surrounding paediatric medicine, and helps parents navigate children\u2019s healthcare without unnecessary fear or confusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
