to run to the aid of others, these are people with a strong will and a sensitive heart, in their hands is the fate of the wounded and, without exaggeration, the health of the ukrainian nation, so this issue i want to start by thanking all the medical workers for their work for saved lives, for the fact that they hold the medical front no matter what, thank you, i think that our viewers have mentally joined in my gratitude now, but i urge everyone to simply go to the medical worker and express their gratitude in person by shaking hands, comforting them with a sincere word, moral support, no spare kind words for those who don't spare themselves for us and although we usually start issues with a plot, this time we decided to change the format with a plot, we will finish our program and together with you honor the memory of medics , is life taken by war and now i want to tell

you a story, this is the story of a couple of doctors who heroically worked in a hospital in bucha when terrible things were happening around, so from the first days of a full-scale population war, the points of kyiv region came under occupation, it lasted 33 days on at the entrances to kyiv, the enemy behaved most cruelly, the occupiers spared neither the elderly nor the young , later these massacres of local residents will go down in history as barbaric atrocities, and at that moment, despite all the horrors, the local hospital continued to work in buch, we are talking about the irpin central city hospital, the inpatient department of which is located in buche, and the polyclinic is in irpen . there are no other hospitals nearby. therefore, all the sick and wounded were sent to them. and although in peacetime the institution did not operate on children, they did not accept births under during the war, doctors had to deal with this and they

worked around the clock and lived in a hospital without light communication, special surgical equipment operated with what was at hand in the first weeks of the occupation, they operated on about a hundred wounded , among whom children worried about everyone as if they were rivne and the following video was shot by themselves by doctors, yes, our children, after three months, the truth is another and another child, a little one,

like that, animals, this is the footage of the injured lydia, the happy family , on march 4. this story could have ended tragically . but fortunately, one of the best children's neurosurgeons of ukraine, andriy svyst, worked in the hospital for volunteers. he fought for the life of a small patient for several hours, operated under constant fire and without proper equipment, and won this battle . lydia is currently undergoing rehabilitation in italy and this is just one story and hundreds in this hospital and one of thousands throughout ukraine, doctors in bucha had to save patients not only from wounds , but from execution, they hid our wounded

of the military so that the occupiers would not deal with them. they smoked in uniforms, wrote down medical histories, went to the hospital to help medics , workers of other institutions in irpen, the innkeeper of vorzel , there were even those who came on foot from kyiv or due to huge traffic jams. it was impossible to get to the hospital. unique that in peacetime this ordinary district hospital did not see such a thing in the profi team , his wife was a neurosurgeon-pediatrician olga svyst, she could not join the live broadcast until but she recorded her story for us. so let's listen to it. on february 26, i, along with my husband andriy, went to the city of buch,

irpinskii city hospital. we needed a consultation with a neurosurgeon for a boy with a spinal cord injury. we spent 12 days in buch. what would i like to say about that? was amazed that among the doctors there were many young young doctors , intern doctors who stayed with their teachers, did everything they could to do or be useful to help people, this language is our future, i can proudly say that i worked with i was very impressed by the number and strength of the parents, the children

who were injured, and their spouses died or they lost their children. it was difficult to share this pain even sitting next to each other, but they were courageous when the mother of one girl responded to my request that hand faster, it will not be possible to save everything, she answered without words, without any doubt, this decision has already been made, she even answered, save my daughter, i understand everything, now they are smiling, they are alive, i hope we will see her again and hug yulia sasha, congratulations to you too one girl who was operated on was the last one

before leaving the hospital, it was on march 8, her name was lida happy, their authors were shooting together with their sister and father near the village of dibrova on march 4. it is dangerous and even impossible on the 8th a team of neurosurgeons operated and on the 10th we were already forced to go on regular buses on the floor on chairs on a chair cold buses phrases to you father decently on your knees for 6 hours

held my daughter so that she did not fall out of the chairs, she was heavy enough and still had to be transported, you offered help, a replacement, damn it, i refused, he said it was my daughter, no, six hours on my lap, i know that we will win, i know that we will continue to be doctors, medics, combat medics er, we will do our work with love for ukraine and for every ukrainian. glory to ukraine, there was a moment when the occupiers first entered this irpin hospital in buchi, they drove up on a tank and pointed

his gun at the central entrance of the hospital broke into the premises as if during an assault on a military facility, took the employees at gunpoint, ordered to meet the head doctor, then began to check the offices and the ward, the doctors withstood this terror and remained in the hospital until all patients were evacuated, now the irpin city hospital and the maternity hospital in vorzel have already have resumed work doctors of all profiles are on duty every day, the adult and children's polyclinic in irpen also started working and we move on to the next hero, doctors who work at the front and under they save our wounded soldiers with constant shelling, these are heroes on a double scale of civilian medics to work in hot spots, the first volunteer mobile hospital named after mykola pirogov is involved, their story began back in 2013 with the

creation of volunteer mobile medical teams that rescued wounded participants of the revolution of dignity, and in october 2014, the first the volunteer mobile hospital continued its activities as an official formation already on december 15, 2014, a team of volunteer doctors consisting of 29 doctors of paramedics and auxiliary personnel went on the first rotation in the ato zone, since then the provision of medical aid in hot spots has not stopped. and we are now in touch with the coordinator of the medical evacuation of the first voluntary mobile hospital named after mykola pirogov svitlana druzenko mrs.

svitlana e i congratulate you i congratulate you all mrs. svitlana please tell us about the work of your first volunteer mobile hospital named after mykola pirogov a-a what does this work consist of and who exactly do you help? it works in several areas a-a well, first of all, it is evacuation from the point of collection of the wounded from the military or from the point of the wounded civilian to the hospital, then our team of professional doctors are traumatologists , anesthesiologists and surgeons, operating room nurses, they will stabilize him on the basis of the hospital, and we can also evacuate if there is a need for this, yes the very big shoulders, as they call it, from the hospital to the dnipro from kyiv, these are professional fast classes. this is where we

can lead an intubated patient, where we can perform a round-robin with seriously injured others, ms. svitlana. most often, who has to provide help to the local people, or the military , after all? now a lot of local people have left here and there in the military. more often we provide help. please tell me, you are talking about the fact that most of the doctors work in this hospital. well, we mainly have doctors working in basically, all professional doctors are like that, not only doctors, nurses, there are very few so -called paramedics - these are people without medical education , mostly professional doctors, ms. svitlana. please tell me if the

doctors underwent any additional training before leaving, let's say yes to the hot spot, yes, to the front. so, before sending people to the front, we carry out coordination and special courses are considered, of course, not abbreviated - this is not a five-day course provided by help in hot spots so that people understand what to do in such situations in which they have not been before, they work in civilian hospitals. and here you need to know exactly what to do at the front on the battlefield and to find a pet with shelling, that is why the training is carried out without fail on february 26, we were already in kyiv and started to act as a small detachment. first we worked on the irpin direction

. the east is from the end of april, but since the end of april, we are in the east, have we already provided assistance to many people, that is to say, do you keep any counts of how many were injured? yes, i am sure we keep counts and statistics, because it is very important to know who exactly is helping we must report to the military so that not a single person is lost, that's why, for example, an accurate count for the month of may, just because of our question, more than 500 patients came. please tell ms. svitlana that we very often include

the ether of people, who are we, and medics, you are a couple of medics who are related to medicine, they claim that now there is a catastrophic lack of medical personnel at the front and, well, we understand what the military should know, here are these winter medicines in order to provide them in time pre-medical aid until the doctors arrive. so it is very important for you that the military can provide first aid and take you to the medics. well, a couple of medics. this is anyone who can then take you to the hospital and provide professional help. that is why it is important to conduct training among as for the lack of medics, i had the opposite impression that there are more military medics and many positions have been closed.

i am also observing a different situation. it seems to me that it is getting better despite the hot battles. we are with the help of we will manage all of mine, that is, no one is suffocating from the lack of doctors, unless we are at zero. it is clear that professional doctors should not be at zero. and please tell me, ms. svitlana, maybe your hospital is missing something, maybe there are some urgent needs, er, urgent the needs are only new cars, new fast ones that can be used so that they do not break down so that we are not afraid that at a critical moment we will deliver to the patient, that’s right, and we have everything else, and you can tell us about this route, how everything happens

after a person they were injured, well, after a person was injured in, well, if we are talking about the military, they have a person who is responsible for help there, she contacts me and we call a machine that picks up the wounded person at a certain point, it is you, this can happen or they they are brought to the hospital, there you stabilize the patients, then we help evacuate the patient for further treatment, or is it, for example, an airstrike on civilians takes place where houses are destroyed and civilians are killed there, we then go there ourselves and provide help and take them to the hospital, i want to thank you to you for

joining our broadcast today as a we continue our program and the ex-deputy who became a tactical medic this is exactly what can be said about yehor firsov from the first days of the large-scale invasion russia to ukraine he was in the ranks of the territorial defense of kyiv and then he asked for the advanced need for the military then there was no and there was a problem with tactical medics, so yehor went to courses , learned and went to avdiyivka how without a medical education but with the desire to save the wounded, now a couple works as a medic yehor firsov is on the front line and he will tell us now and he will tell us on the link yehor i congratulate you and i congratulate you, well, i still would not count myself among the ranks of doctors in such an honorable

field, despite the fact that, in principle, yes, you the right has been actively working in this field for more than a month, they are called a tactical medic to provide medical aid. well, let's say, who are tactical medics ? tactical medics are not doctors. say in the first 10-15 minutes, depending on the wounding at our front. as a rule, uh, 90% are shrapnel wounds. that's why you have to, well, as they say, get your hands full and take courses in order to provide similar help and to understand how to behave in those other situations, well, first of all, regarding evacuation

. under fire is a rather specific situation, and secondly, how to behave in the event that a person is concussed, if the person has injuries to the limbs of the neck, and so on, that is you have a certain algorithm for this, which you are taught, and i understand whether it is that i am not afraid of blood, relatively speaking, some such complicated things. well, i don’t know, there is often more of it on your screens. that is, there are complicated situations. yes i was not afraid of this and in principle of any kind er, um, there are military operations, i can’t say that i , well, if they caused some fear in me and i decided that precisely if there is a shortage of tactical medics, why don’t i go and study to be a tactical medic. please tell me how long your training was and where exactly it took place, maybe now our viewers

, those who watch us, ukrainians also want to undergo such training and go to the front in order to help our army. this is a very popular question because, first of all, i advise everyone to undergo such training, even if not to help at least for myself because the war continues shelling as we know is happening all over the country and to understand how to teach how to provide medical aid first medical aid is very, very important but but i underwent such training in a military center, let's say so, in the chernihiv region, i won't exactly name the location well, it lasted a little, well, about two weeks. and here is the theory plus practice, er, and it was training specifically for the military, that is, i worked with er, um, ssshniks there. well, and so on, but as for civilians, there is a huge question

first of all, you need to look for it. i am convinced that there are such courses somewhere, but on the other hand, i understand that there are not enough such courses, here are similar courses on tactical medicine and books - even some basics about military affairs in general. and they should be opened in every district center and to teach people to teach , starting from the little ones who go to kindergarten there, ending with people already there of retirement age , because this knowledge, they will definitely be redundant , they will be needed, and as i say, this does not only apply to the medical component, it also applies how to behave during, yes, during shelling during, well, that is, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered, the medical care you are talking about. well, almost every day when i am

in the zone in the combat zone, almost every day, of course. well, my function includes i have a driver's license, experience as a driver more than 10 years ago. evacuation is also one of the components of having a good car, taking the injured to the hospital, and so on, and here we are in this order of life, in fact, it's just a little, a little chain a-a very important role is played by the fact who was the first to work with the fighter, most likely it could be his brother if it was at zero who provided first aid who took the fighter a-a to the hospital and finally here i would like to thank i sincerely bow to the medical workers, especially doctors, surgeons, and traumatologists, who

perform the most complex operations every day, and they work one person a day, and this is no exaggeration. operations are just, well, they just sleep and are almost on the floor in the operating rooms, this is actually a real hero for me , even medics who have been in the war often talk about such a question. that when there is shelling and someone is wounded , they can, you know, get confused. have you ever had this kind of confusion ? did you feel that somewhere you need to find the strength to gather yourself and start providing this help, of course, it was, well, let's start with the fact that i went to the front in general because of a certain such, you know , well, well, confusion, that is, i was not ready for the war, i didn't know military affairs. and in order to gather

myself and be as useful as possible to find myself on the battlefield, i actually went to study as a tactical medic and went to the front. and as for the confusion , yes, it really was in the first weeks. it's just really banal confusion because there are a lot of factors. that is , you don't provide help like there are emergency doctors in normal conditions, you provide help in very difficult conditions where it is constantly flying, constantly banging, you have to uh, um, take it off, relatively speaking there to cut a bulletproof vest with scissors, uh, military clothes , and so on, that is, there are a lot of such certain complications, and the first two weeks, i can say, it was confusion and even fear, after that everything disappears somewhere, and i concluded for myself that a war is of course it's scary, but the scariest

thing is when you're confused, when you don't know your job and your function, when you know what you have to do, of course the fear disappears and you understand your mission. of course, you can be hurt, you can be killed. but the most important thing is that you know your goal and you are going to it. of course, this certainly applies not only to tactical medics, but also to artillerymen, infantry shooters and all the rest, knowing your task in the war and finding yourself in yegor on the battlefield, i want to thank you for today's broadcast for joining it and yehor firsov was in touch with us, who is currently on the front line and works there as a paramedic. 12 ukrainian medics have been killed by the russian occupiers since february 24. another 47 were seriously injured. these are official statistics published by the minister of defense . health viktor lyashko, he said that the

number is potentially higher, but so far there is no confirmation from the department, as i promised at the beginning of the program, we end this issue with the story of anna lenkova about the doctors whose faces we lost, the stories of the heroes at the end, let's honor their memory with a minute of silence and with i was you, iryna koval. take care of yourself and the medics. fighters protect us, and medics save them. angels on the front line . operations in field conditions save lives without thinking about their own, often their heroism costs them their lives, and on derusova, the first woman to receive the title of hero of ukraine posthumously, a combat medic , arrived in dolav from land in 2015 to save

the lives of our soldiers, since february 24, she helped the wounded in sumy oblast, sergeant derusova ini mykolaivni posthumously since february 24, a senior combat medic performed tasks in the city of okhtyrka, sumy region, saved more than ten servicemen, risking her own life , and died from artillery shelling by russian troops helping wounded soldiers, the first woman - a hero of ukraine, who was awarded this title posthumously in the battalion and was affectionately called mom, because she was their guardian angel, this loss remained a deep wound for inna's siblings and son, who has also been defending ukraine since 2016, you

were the best for you saved hundreds of thousands, you were irreplaceable, this is what combat medic masha nazarova wrote about the fallen colleague yevgeny krapko on her facebook page: yevhen krapko was one of the best instructors of tactical medicine and with in the first days of the war, he worked at the front, on his account, hundreds of lives were saved, he died while performing a combat mission, on june 11, he served well, young people full of strength and energy, they could have had their whole lives ahead of them and the war had ordered otherwise

. on june 12, the guy was about to turn 28 years old, a merciless war takes away the young and intelligent, those who only want to live and live, we will never forgive this, today we said goodbye to the senior combat medic of the evacuation department of the medical company of the military unit of shishkovskiy serhiy olegovich serhiy was a surgeon from the first days of the full-scale war in ukraine, the boy joined the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, provided first aid to the wounded, evacuated from hot spots and saved their lives, but he himself was taken away by an enemy missile. on may 16, the russians shelled the medical unit from hail in the luhansk region, in which senior lieutenant and military medic yuliya ogienko worked, she was precisely at the combat positions , they were then in the medical center. where were they, she provided help the wounded and that's it
