laboratory technicians and their work is extremely important their struggle is key because it is a struggle with death for life what could be more important the war put a heavy burden on their shoulders and forced them to work around the clock to work to exhaustion under fire in the battle in the occupation and even those who work in hospital inpatients in conditionally safe territories. under the enemy's sights. they live in conditions of constant tension, stress and pain, but who are ready to forget about themselves and run to the aid of others at a moment's notice. these are people with a strong will and a sensitive heart in their in the hands of the fate of the wounded and without exaggeration the health of the ukrainian nation, so this edition 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 also mentally joined a now to my thanks, but i urge everyone to just go to the medical worker and express your gratitude with a personal gesture by shaking hands, comfort with a sincere word, moral support, do not spare kind words for those who do not spare themselves for our sake and although usually we are starting the episodes with a plot, this time we decided to change the format with a plot, we will finish our program and together with you we will honor the memory of the doctors whose lives were taken by the war. when terrible things were happening around, so from the first days of the full-scale war, the population points of the kyiv region came under occupation, it lasted 33 days at the entrances to kyiv, the enemy behaved most cruelly, the occupiers did not spare

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 in buch, and the polyclinic in irpen. there are no other hospitals nearby, so all the sick and wounded were sent to them. and although in peacetime the institution did not operate on children, did not accept deliveries during the war, the doctors had to deal with this, and they worked around the clock and lived in hospitals 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 the children were worried about everyone as for rivne, and the following video was shot by the doctors themselves, so our children, three

months later together , another and another one child is small , such an animal, this is footage of lydia, who was injured on march 4, the family of the happy child tried to escape from the shelling that began near their house, but the car was fired upon. this story could have ended tragically

but fortunately, one of the best children's neurosurgeons of ukraine, andriy svyst, worked as a volunteer at the hospital. he fought for the life of the little patient for several hours, operated under constant fire and without proper equipment, and won this battle . now lydia is 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 also from execution, they hid our wounded soldiers so that the occupiers would not deal with them they burned uniforms, copied medical histories, came to the hospital to help medics , workers of other institutions of excitement , irpenia, gostomel, vorzel, there were even those who came on foot

from kyiv or because of huge traffic jams. the district hospital had never seen anything like this in the profi team. his wife was a pediatric neurosurgeon, olga svyst. she was not able to join us live, but she recorded her story for us. so give it to us let's listen and on february 26, i, together with my husband andriy, got to the city of bucha irpinskyi city hospital. i needed a consultation with a neurosurgeon for a boy with a spinal injury. we spent 12 days at work. what did i want to say? i was also amazed that

there were many young people among the doctors . interns who stayed with their teachers did everything they could do or be useful to help people this language is our future i can proudly say that i worked with them side by side one more observation i was very impressed by the resilience 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 them, but they were courageous. when the mother of one girl responded to my request that the hand

could not be saved, she replied without words. without any doubt, she has already made this decision, she even replied, 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, another girl who was she was operated on the last one before leaving the hospital , it was on march 8, her name is lida, she is happy, their car was shot together with their sister and father near the village of dibrova on march 4, but they were able to get to the hospital only on march 8, as there was constant

shelling and it was extremely dangerous and even impossible to move on the 8th, a team of neurosurgeons operated. and on the 10th, we were already forced to travel in ordinary buses on the floor, on chairs, on a chair, in cold buses , my father was impressed decently on his knees for 6 hours, holding his my daughter so that she would not fall from the chairs, she was heavy enough and had to be transported, she was lying down, we offered help, a replacement, damn, he refused, he said it was my daughter, no, six hours on my lap, i know that we will win and i

know that we will continue to be doctors, medics, combat medics we will do our work faithfully with love for ukraine and for every ukrainian. glory to ukraine, there was a moment when the occupiers entered this irpin hospital in buch for the first time, 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 volunteer at the mobile hospital named after mykola pirogov svitlana druzenko mrs. svitlana e i congratulate you i congratulate you all ladies svitlana please tell me about the work of your first volunteer mobile hospital named after mykola pirogov. what does this work consist of and who exactly do you provide assistance to me? pirogov

works in several areas. 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 a civilian to the hospital, then our team of professional doctors, 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 is the so-called big shoulder, as they call it, from the hospital to the dnipro in kyiv, these are professional emergency classes . this is where we can lead an intubated patient, where we can perform a round-robin with seriously wounded 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, we are not only doctors, paramedic nurses, there are very few so-called paramedics - these are people without medical education, basically all of them are professional doctors ms. svitlana, please tell me if the doctors underwent any additional training before leaving let's say yes to a hot spot on a direct yes to the front. so, before we send a person to the front, we conduct reconciliation and the special course is considered, of course, not a shortened version - it is not a five-day course of tissi provision.

help in hot spots so that people understand what to do in situations in which they have not been before, they work in civilian hospitals. and here you need to know what to do on the front, on the battlefield and in the heat of shelling, so training is mandatory 26 in february, we were already in kyiv and started to act as a small detachment. first, we worked on the irpin area where gostomel moschun and well, we worked on everything that could be covered there, we worked in the kyiv region when it became calm there. we moved here to the east it is uh with 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 was lost, that's why, for example, an accurate count from the month of may, only because of our question, more than 500 patients came. 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 timely pre-medical assistance until

the doctors will come. so it is very important for you that the military can provide first aid and bring to the medics, well , that is, a couple of medics. this is anyone who can then take them to the hospital and provide professional help , so 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 already been closed. uh, with the help of all my help, we will manage, that is, no one will suffocate from the lack of doctors, unless we are at zero. it is clear that professional doctors should not be at

zero. and please tell ms. svitlana, maybe something is missing in your hospital , maybe there are some urgent needs, uh, 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 to evacuate the patient for further treatment, for example, an airstrike on civilians happens where houses are destroyed and civilians are missing, we then go there ourselves and provide help and take them to the hospital, i want to thank you for that that you joined our broadcast today. thank you. we continue our program and the ex-deputy who became a tactical medic . he was in the ranks of the territorial defense of kyiv, and

then he asked for an advanced need for the military . then there was no problem with tactical medics , so yehor went to courses, studied and went to avdiyivka. without a medical education, but with a desire to save the wounded, he now works as a paramedic at frontline yegor firsov, he will tell us now and he will tell us on the link yegor 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 are right for more than a month actively i work in this field called a tactical medic, so please tell us what you do now and how you managed to provide medical care without a medical education. well,

let's say. so who are tactical medics? they operate, establish diagnoses, prescribe some prescriptions, the tactical medic's task is to provide first medical aid, relatively speaking, in the first 10-15 minutes, depending on the wound we have on the front. as a rule, er, 90% are shrapnel wounds injuries. that's why you need to, as they say, get your hands full and take courses in order to provide such help and understand how to behave in one or another situation, well, first of all, regarding evacuation. under fire is a rather specific situation, and secondly, how to behave in the event that a person has cantozole, if a person has injuries to the limbs and so on, that is, you have a certain algorithm of actions for which and which you are taught, and now i understand whether it is that i am not afraid

of blood, conditionally speaking of such complicated things. well, how i do not know on your screens often happens there are more of them. that is, there are difficult situations. yes, i was not afraid of this and, in principle, of some military actions there. 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 not i can't go to study to be a tactical medic. please tell me how long your training lasted and where exactly it took place. it is possible now that our viewers, those who watch us, ukrainians, also want to undergo such training and go to the front - this is in order to help our troops. this is very popular the question is because, first of all, i advise everyone to undergo such training, even if they do not help, at least for themselves, 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 i went through such training in a military center, let’s say, in the chernihiv region, i won’t exactly name the deployment. but it lasted a little, well, about two weeks. and here’s theory plus practice, and it was training specifically for the military, that is, i worked with sosh there well and so on, but as far as civilians are concerned , here is a huge question, first of all, you have 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 in general, military affairs should be opened in every district center and people should be taught to teach, starting from children who

go to kindergarten there, ending with people already of retirement age there, because this knowledge, they will definitely be superfluous, they will be needed, and as i say, what this not only concerns the medical component, it concerns how to behave during gas attacks and during shelling during, well, that is, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered, yehor, and tell me now. how often do you now have to provide first aid, this is the paramedic aid you are talking about well, almost every day when i'm in the zone in the war zone almost every day that's normal well, my function is included and 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 a car to take the wounded to the hospital and so

on, and here we are in this order of life, in fact, it is only a small, small, well, chain, and the fact of who was the first to work with the fighter, most likely it could be his brother if this it was at zero who provided first aid, who took the soldier to the hospital, and finally here i would like to sincerely thank and bow straight to the medical workers, especially the trauma surgeons who perform the most difficult operations every day and they work for hours per day, and this is not an exaggeration. i have seen directly in my hospitals, where we take the wounded, how doctors after surgery simply sleep and are almost on the floor in the operating rooms. in fact, for me, this is a real hero. this question

is often asked even by medics who ended up in the war. what in the first minutes when there is a shelling and someone is wounded, they can get confused, you know, did you have this kind of confusion that you felt that somewhere you need to find the strength to gather yourself and start providing this help was of course, 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 war, i did not know military affairs. and in order to gather myself and be as useful as possible, i found myself on the battlefield in fact, i went to study as a tactical medic and went to the front line. and as for the confusion, yes, the first weeks, it really was. well, i don’t know how to describe it. it’s just really banal confusion because there are so many factors. that is, you don’t provide help as it is -is

ambulance doctors in normal conditions you provide help in very difficult conditions where it is constantly flying in and constantly exploding, you have to take off the bulletproof vest, cut the military clothes with scissors and so on, that is, there are a lot of such certain complications and the first, well, even for two weeks, i can say it was confusion and even fear, after that everything disappears somewhere and i concluded for myself that war is certainly scary, but the scariest thing is when you are confused, when you do not know your business, your functions, when you you know what you have to do, of course, fear disappears and you understand your mission. yes, of course, you can be hurt, you can be killed. but the most important thing is that you know your goal and go to it .

the rest know your task in the war and find yourself on the battlefield . 12 ukrainian medics have been killed by the russian occupiers since february 24, and another 47 were seriously injured. these are the official statistics released by the minister of health, viktor lyashko. he stated that the number is potentially higher, but there is no confirmation from the department yet, as i promised at the beginning of the program, we will end this issue with the story of anna lenkova, about the doctors we lost, the stories of the heroes in the faces at the end, let's honor their memory with a moment of silence, and i was with you, iryna koval. take care of yourself and the doctors, the fighters protect us

and doctors save them, angels on the front lines, medical workers from the first days of the war win back ukrainian soldiers and civilians from death in the very hell , conduct operations in the field, 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 the sumy region, sergeant derusova ini mykolaivna, posthumously since february 24, a senior combatant a medic was performing a task in the city of okhtyrka, sumy region, saved her
