Life

Argirov studied music and medicine. He financed his studies in his hometown Sofia as a boxer and jazz musician . In 1964 he fled an American uncle to Paris with 180 dollars and applied for political asylum in Germany in 1965 . The one with a dissertation on " Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography and flow patterns coronary artery bypasses " doctorate young doctors came to his time as a junior doctor at the University Hospital Tübingen to Bad Kissingen , where he "Pope liver" is the Heinz Kalk as a specialist in internal medicine further formed. In 1969 he became senior physician at the Munich Clinic, Third Order . He gained notoriety in the late 1970s for three health care novels, one of which became a bestseller. In 1977 he accepted a well-paid position at the private Schreiber Clinic in Munich , but fell out with the owner in 1980. In the same year, Argirov acquired a small private clinic in Kempfenhausen on Lake Starnberg in the former Villa de Osa with 70 beds, which he expanded into an internal specialist clinic with modern equipment with not inconsiderable subsidies from the Free State of Bavaria, followed by another clinic in Vogtareuth .

Since his time in Bad Kissingen, Argirov's patients included a growing number of celebrities, including actors such as B. Heiner Lauterbach and politicians like Franz Heubl or Franz Josef Strauss . As a doctor and friend of the Prime Minister, he accompanied him on various trips abroad, but when Strauss fought with death in 1988, Argirov's modern clinic was of little use to him - he died unable to be transported in the Regensburg hospital of the Merciful Brothers .

In 2003 Argirov retired and sold his clinics to the Schön-Klinik group , which initially continued the Kempfenhausen clinic under the old name, renamed it in 2010 and surprisingly closed in November 2016 after plans for an extension towards the lake with a bed wing 13 patient rooms on 480 square meters were not approved.

Argirov is married and has two grown children. He lives in Berg am See not far from his former clinic.
