Dr. Asbjørn Følling

Lege at Oslo universitetssykehus

Dr. Asbjørn Følling ble født i Bergen, Norge i 1969. Etter å ha tilbrakt sin barndom i Bergen og uteksaminert fra Høgskolen i Bergen i 1986, skrev Asbjørn seg på University of Oslo (UiO) med hensikten å bli lege.

Utdannet ved Universitetet i Oslo i 1992 hadde Asbjørn internatet ved Oslo universitetssykehus og fikk sin medisinske grad derfra i 1994. Asbjørns første jobb etter endt utdanning var et samarbeid med vennen Dr. Ernst Velde ved Oslo universitetssykehus. Praksisen deres ble raskt en av de mest populære i byen, og trakk inn mange pasienter fra hele området. Til slutt doblet de i størrelse med tillegg av to andre leger i 1996, i tillegg til et laboratorium på stedet og røntgen, sparte de pasienter for problemer med å måtte beholde disse tjenestene andre steder.

Asbjørn er respektert både blant pasienter og kolleger for sin forståelse og medfølelse. Hans evne til å hjelpe en pasient gjennom vanskelige tider hjelper ved at han også har håndtert sine egne personlige helsekamper i løpet av karrieren. I 1999 fikk Asbjørn diagnosen lungekreft i trinn 2, noe som tvang ham til å ta 6 måneder fra behandlingen. Diagnostisert som kreftfri i 2003, vendte han tilbake på jobb og har blitt drevet siden den gang for å sikre at pasienter er trygge og sikre i helsen.
