In a quest for rapid recovery following a muscle injury, Bruno Petković, the formidable striker for Dinamo Zagreb and the Croatian national team, has enlisted the services of Dr. Marijana Kovačević, colloquially dubbed the "witch doctor from Belgrade."
Dr. Kovačević, famed for her unconventional yet notably effective treatment methods involving horse placenta cream, has previously catered to the recuperative needs of sports luminaries such as Luka Modrić, Novak Đoković, and Dušan Vlahović.
While her alternative treatments have been subject to scrutiny and debate within the medical community, athletes, undeterred, continue to seek her expertise, reportedly shelling out up to 5,000 euros for her specialized services.
The allure of accelerated recovery, especially amidst the high-stakes environment of professional sports, underscores a broader dialogue concerning athlete wellness, the ethical dimensions of medical treatments, and the pervasive influence of alternative medicine in the realm of sports recovery.
