insurance on hotline finance hotline finance insurance, of course, online, congratulations, i'm iryna koval and it 's about health during the war for everyone's sake this is the slogan of the ukrainian volunteer medical battalion, hospitalists and the whole essence of their work is that angels on the front lines get out of hell and fight for the life of every wounded person. we care has been 8 years old, that's how long its members work in the hot spots of ukraine, they provide assistance to the military to volunteers and civilians who are in the war zone and need first aid, urgent operations or treatment at the front, every minute is worth their lives, and the hospitalists do not miss this time, because the doctors of the battalion do not

sit in the rear, but are directly in combat positions with the ukrainian military 24 hours a day, so they act immediately in the battle and evacuate, stabilize and transport the wounded from the red zone to stabilization points or front-line hospitals and clinics thanks to promptness and coordination, we took care of the victory in the death of thousands of lives without sparing our own, at the same time in our issues we talk a lot about medicine in the rear today we will learn about its paramedicine and field hospitals this topic is without exaggeration now vitally important and we will start with the story of anna olenkova, she learned who the hospitalists are and whether you can get to the medical center thousands of rescued soldiers thousands of evacuated special points wounded volunteers from the medical battalion hospitalists since

2014 have been rescuing ukrainians in hot spots during rocket attacks under artillery fire with shelling, they will come and pull out of hell those who need medical help, we all ordered first aid, we were slapped in the back from ordinary people to professional doctors, every member of the organization fulfills its role and helps, or maybe hospitalists provide help in several directions

, these are cases of evacuation directly from the battlefield the second is a medical evacuation in a medical vehicle where professional doctors work and the third is stabilization points where surgeons work and also professional doctors who can to stabilize the soldiers with critical injuries, the majority of wounded soldiers and civilians were saved and evacuated precisely thanks to the hospitalists, who were escorted out of those three hundred, that is, the wounded, who were serious, were not the ones who got to us. they actually reached the hospitals alive. unites the desire to help speed up victory and minimize losses, so they worked and work without rest, we had situations of 60 wounded per day and 70 wounded per day for one the stabilization fund arrived 40 times, it was within an hour, hospitalists are joining foreigners

who want to help ukrainians in our struggle . in total, today we have added six new crews, and we have added an english-speaking set to almost every crew, because there are now , in principle, a lot of them from all countries of the world people arrive who understand the threat from russia, understand that they can be next and they want to help in whatever way they can be most useful to the med battalion, hospitalists it has been eight years, the war in ukraine has been going on for the same amount of time, doctors are volunteers and right now they are saving their lives on the frontline, risking their own lives, normal, normal. well, while they are saving our soldiers and civilians, we should not sit

idly by, how can each of us contribute to the rescue and what help the nurse, we will talk now and find out all the details of how medicine works on the regular contact us, paramedic of the volunteer medical battalion of hospitalists olena gerasimyuk mrs. olena i am you i congratulate you, i congratulate you, thank you for the invitation olena. i know that you are a writer in general, so please tell me how many of you are representatives of non -medical professions in hospitals. united by the common goal of saving lives and these are people of completely different professions, of course the backbone of our battalion is made up of people who have a medical profession, but let's say that i am a writer. my colleague who is now teaching people

is music, that is, we have a lot of creative and creative people and i think it has a positive effect on how we train people, how we work, and so on. in general, if we talk about the volunteers who are currently in your ranks, how many people are there and who are these people who are part of the network of hospitals in the first place when the full-scale war began, the first to arrive at the base and start working were those who had already been hospitalists , that is, they had already gained this experience earlier in the war and who knew what to do, then a lot of people joined us, it is difficult for me to name number, but so that you plus or minus understand how we work now on the front line, we have more than 60 crews. that is, multiply it by five people in sredny and we understand how big this number is,

how many people are actually the union of this one by the way, in which cities do you currently work, i can tell you the directions, because we now understand that there is a period of such a maneuverable enough war and these points can change depending on the operational situation, but we now cover the entire front line, that is, the number of crews we are not allowed to do it, we have e-e crews, the course is standard in the donetsk luhansk direction , as it was before the full-scale e help of the headquarters of the next one, also e-e there are a few wishes left for reinforcements in the kyiv region, for example , there are in kharkiv oblast, there are in zaporizhia oblast, that is, where really there is a need to save lives where there is a need for our crews mrs. olena this is how i understood that rescuing the wounded it takes place in several stages and the work of the medical battalion has

several directions, can you tell me about it in detail it happens first of all on the battlefield itself, uh, there are three directions of these conditionals, which are divided uh, by these corresponding colors, let's say the red zone - this is the place where you provide help. dangerous, our people are very zealous, very ideological, therefore, most of our people still help people on the threshold, red stars, yellow zone - this is a conditionally safe zone. but again, the keyword is conditional, because the tactical situation can change and accordingly, the yellow zone can become uh, red is the green zone. that is, this is a place where you can provide help uh, absolutely free, absolutely safe , mainly this is work at stabilization points and

uh, at the hospital, but in addition to helping on the front line and evacuating the wounded but unfortunately for the bodies of our fallen defenders defender e we are also engaged in training e-e in particular now e as our previous base. now there are conditional yellow zones where there is shelling and so on. we are working on cleaning and equipping a new area for training and the deployment of our battalion will be like this, speaking in new terms, in the green zone, and also this training is not only for the military, it is also training for civilians. but again, the war put teams in our plans and unfortunately we they have taken a break for now, but they assure us that it is temporary. so, in addition to training, in

addition to the fact that we save people, there is a certain educational activity, that is, we speak out and tell exactly what our idea is, this is our mission, and somehow we buy people to learn learn how to protect yourself, how to save your loved ones, and what to do when, god forbid, a life-threatening practical situation happened, so i wanted to ask you whether you have enough hands to save the wounded and whether you need replenishment in your ranks. recruitment of people because a lot of volunteers responded to er our zach and i think that gradually we will recruit people although now we er can be said to play on our own although the situation is very critical as you understand and we understand that er how many men if we are talking about the fact that there

are enough of something, for example, are there hands? are they only hawkers? the situation is as it is today because we do not know what russia will do tomorrow, how will they still change their minds, fire at us, kill us? yes, but we do not understand that the situation is changing day by day it changes and you can even say not every day. but now it changes very quickly and every hour i want to ask you something else, but the hospitalists were also on azov and together with all of them were captured, we know that one of them is tyra, she is fortunately was released. please tell me how many of your medics are in captivity and whether they all managed to return. i would like to make a small remark tyras, she is our sister, but she is from the angels organization tyler. eh, we stylists worked on

neighboring areas eh, in the mariupol direction , and i was terribly sorry when she was in polonia, unfortunately, the situation regarding the prisoners is quite a difficult situation, and i have to choose the words to talk about it first of all, because it is possible that some information may threaten those who are currently in captivity , because the connection with the innkeepers, you yourself understand. this is where the russians are like a red rag, so i am very sorry, but i will leave this question from the answer exactly because of what i said, for the sake of the safety of those people who are currently in the zone, i hope that if there are any changes, we will definitely write it on our page, but for now, first of all, we are concerned about the fact that those people who are in captivity, who have connection with us any uh they didn't have uh additional grounds in prison for these tortures

. everything else, what does uh actually do with our animals in russia, mrs. elena, i also believe with you that as i think, like all our ukrainians who are watching us now, believe that everyone will return from captivity and everyone will be alive and well, i thank you for your work and for joining our broadcast, thank you and we were contacted by the paramedic of the volunteer medical battalion of hospitalists olena gerasimyuk, and as you already understood today we are talking about hospitalists. who are these people? whom do they help? during their existence, hospitalists have conducted more than 45 trainings on pre-medical care and prepared for work in hot spots . more than 800 paramedics are trained in one training session. 10-20 volunteers are trained. how do they become hospitalists and what do we need

to say for this? now we are also in touch with the paramedic of the volunteer medical battalion of hospitalists iryna tsybuk iru i congratulate you good afternoon we have already seen in our story that trainings are held for paramedics, tell me if everyone who wants to can to get to such a training. to go through training and become a hospitalist, and are there any special selection criteria? first of all, you need to understand that a paramedic is a person who is constantly learning, and it is impossible to learn in a few days, a few weeks and become a winner forever. but this is a long process time of this when did you decide or from the moment like last year to become a changer until the moment when you are, well, in my case, you are probably ready to leave this matter there for some reasons ah and accordingly

you need to study every day for now adapted to the conditions of the war, and with an understanding of how necessary it is now to provide high-quality medicine and assistance according to the march protocol, and that is why our training lasted four to five days, and the battalion counted on logistics, so this means that if we need drivers, we recruit in drivers . why should these people be given help according to their competence and their task? if we need doctors and surgeons, for example, that is why we take these people and train them according to an enhanced program before a full-scale war in our country lasted a week, and during this week, in addition to qualitative knowledge about the march and this protocol, a couple of doctors of the future received only from tests, which , in my opinion, is quite an important and key language in order to become a winner, because so far we had the experience

of teaching people without stress of the test, who simply received high-quality access to the instruction protocol and already went into battle with an understanding of how to provide assistance. but at the same time, they needed information about what would happen to their body and their psyche when they hit the field on i hope that now we will have the opportunity to restore a training center in which we will be able to continue not only to teach how to provide help, but also to teach and show what a stress test is . to experience on the battlefield, but it is nevertheless some part of the opportunity to understand yourself and your reactions when you and in a conditional trench when you pull out this year promised when it rains down on you exploding firecrackers and well all these other indicators of this passionate fighter who is passing

when we are studying, that is why it is also quite an important part. i hope that now we will restore the base. i hope that now those people who have come new to full-scale wars will be able to get advanced training and we will now direct our forces to this very thing we we will gather crews who are already deployed, who already have some experience in providing assistance, and we can see how high-quality this experience is, because they are moving according to the protocol that we have taught them, but it is necessary to understand that professional development includes we have a much wider range of manipulations, working out what our fighters should already be able to do, and we make it our first priority, and the second priority is directly the recruitment of new participants, because it is necessary to understand that the hospitalists of the volunteer battalion a and b in ours have some, well, to a certain extent, and turnover personnel and that's why we will make new sets in the same way and we announce it on

our pages on facebook or instagram because if someone wants to join us welcome we are very happy for new people but you don't have to follow that on facebook or instagram, a person passes more than once, and periodically you need to update your knowledge in one of those who are directly on the battlefield and carry out this evacuation of the wounded, so tell me what is the composition of your crew and how it all happens in general, the battalion provides a three-link aid i will tell you about my crew, i have a fifth crew and we provide two of them, and i will tell you about the third one later. so we have some kind of evacuation. i work at case evacuation, which means that i evacuate people from the battlefield. and we have a car a pickup that is more passable than a medical car than a medical car in those difficult areas of the front, this is the logic of casey's evacuation, that we use a less

visible camouflaged car and go off-road in order to go without trenches or directly from the gods we go with soldiers in battle to evacuate soldiers with a polyp so that it was a sudden evacuation so that the soldier did not have the opportunity to be wounded for some time yes that is, we react very quickly and no more than exactly eight to five minutes pass when we get to the soldier and start to provide assistance to him, at the same time, it is necessary to understand that we took on the responsibility of training medics from drivers who are with these people also on the battlefield, and before that you showed the video, we also taught the marines, because we her crew works with the marines, we taught them to provide help and i know that at the moment it will take 5 minutes for this party to reach the wounded, they will provide high -quality help and it will start working. sometimes we

start working immediately on the battlefield, it depends on the task we are performing because we let's go on an assault with these beautiful soldiers or marines, they are all incredibly cool fighters, and i always say to us that we need to pray for the marines because they, as you can see now on the video, are studying despite the fact that they are tired, they are playing sports despite the fact that they have been at the front for a long time and so on, and we support them all the time, we remind him because uh, now medicine is fine motor skills, it's about muscle memory, about how you can stay in a stressful situation for years when you're scared, uh, don't put a tourniquet on yourself and this about how you can to remember how to restore the patency of the respiratory tract to your brother, and so on. so, actually, we provide the first stage and ensure the evacuation of the polyp and bring it to a safer zone, which is usually also quite difficult for medical evacuation, why is it difficult because if we are

bombarded with mines a if i can be in a contact battle well, my honey dog ​​usually stands in a city where they are shelling with hail and it is scary to lose the team it is scary that someone from the team will be injured and of course it is scary for the cars and what about us we can lose the means by which we directly evacuate and take out the wounded. in fact, i transfer the wounded to medical evacuation, and already in medical evacuation, two methods work with them in my crew, and yes, who came from germany to another, our ukrainian very cool surgeon, and they transfer people to a stabilization point or to a medical institution. and you have to understand that sometimes hospitalists also provide the third stage. but this is a stabilization point, it's a task number . and we talked about these certain stages that hospital patients go through, how it all works. i

also want to ask you about medicines and hemostatic and dressing materials. you need it for work, yes, and actually you need to understand that we are completely dependent on people . support as a key volume that this is not a thermal imager, i always say that the spinal device cannot be charged, it is not possible to buy new batteries for it, we are constantly working with walkers, each wounded walker takes a certain amount of those walkers, blood-thirsty materials in infusion and to restore the volume of fluid in the body and this means that we constantly need help, we

constantly need hemostatic agents, we constantly need to restore the resource when i return from the rotation, we fill the entire car with everything we need before the rotation, our backpacks, er, all the shelves we we take a few doda boxes back to kyiv. we go empty. it's a pity that we have work. it's a pity that i'm injured and that means that we're coming to kyiv in a carpet. we depend so much on the fact that we have these hemostatic agents, on the extent to which people will understand that this regularity of assistance is very important and that it is necessary to be with the hospitalists all the time and help us so that we can work on the front line. we are very are connected here with volunteers with people who just come to us 11 who are ready to spend something from poland who are ready to find some means to transfer the parcel, this is all a big organism, a lot of structural

help, which in the end gives my backpack filled in order to save people's lives and we are very dependent on that, because you have to understand that we are constantly working with materials that need to be restored, mrs. iryna, that is, i understood you correctly. and the matter does not help you in any way, only people, maybe some help international companies, maybe some charitable organizations. and we feel there is a structure of civil society assistance, it is very multi-level from international organizations that could come there for cooperation, to give us a certain number of petitions to an individual and who can transfer uah 10 to the battalion 's account that something else actually plays a key role for us or in the end we have all these means to restore life to save life and the state does not participate in this

because she doesn't have such tools, because this is my volunteer battalion, neither me nor olena. none of us receives a salary, we do it on a volunteer basis. refuel have ammunition armor and this is not only about medical equipment and it is all a big organism and everyone who is in the battalion must be provided with what i have listed, every car must be refueled and, well, accordingly , there is a lot of work and because of this, the help of people to us we always need her very much, mrs. iryna. and when we talked about these stages, you said that you were taking the wounded to the stabilization points. so, what does the crew do next? you return to the field again. battle or what have you been doing since you started the rotation. we

are on duty all the time, that is, there is no hour of the day for a lunch break, there is no situation in which we are on duty there. water until my medical evacuation i transported the injured person to the stabilization point. i stabilized him in the car and they do a really large set of manipulations in the medical car there. i was already on the battlefield and evacuated the next wounded person from the battlefield. wounded we are always on duty all the time tense uh and day and night we remember journalists came to me and they say well when you have a break let's go together and it was so uh unexpected i couldn't think what and does anyone have an option if the medics can have a break at the front, the fighters save themselves, the fighters can develop sleep, they can see, listen to the radio, and the medics no, we are on

duty all the time, and as soon as my medical evacuation takes me to the stabilization point, they immediately turn to the duty point and wait on duty er, we all always hope. we hope that we will not have work and that we will just drink mojitos where everyone can relax, but unfortunately, the situation here at the front is quite tense and because of that we have many tasks and we are constantly working ira that is, i understand you correctly, this is non-stop work, you don’t have any rest at all, yes, and in fact, this is the reason why i joined the volunteer battalion, because i understand that after two weeks or a month there is a critical, critical, stressful load. i can come now. i came to apply. i am now in my apartment in kyiv, and i can take a breather, i can change gears, i can go with a friend to drink coffee, while if i was on dan’s contract and

at another service, i felt this tension all the time without being able to take a breath, you need to understand what the intensity of medical care is psychologically significant, it is very difficult, and starting from the fact that you know every wounded person with whom you work, you know who is in their family, you know that now his wife will call you to ask how he is, and so on, and exactly the same the story with the people who died, we also have to evacuate them, and usually, we work. if this person died, it was, of course, a shoe wound, and here the same story happens to me, my sister wrote to me recently, she wrote to one of the soldiers who died, he died, and actually hmm, his body was picked up piece by piece and she doesn't believe that this is her brother, i understand her very well and she wants me to tell her that it's not him, and i also understand that, but you have to understand

the amount of load it 's very difficult for medics psychologically. that's why i'm glad that i'm in the hospital, because i can switch gears, i can try to breathe a little , realize what happened to me and go back to the front line already on july 15. i'll go back and we 'll work, and since units of the armed forces of ukraine and volunteers can accompany bear hospitalists, that is, paramedics are attached to some military units, or how exactly do you decide where to be on duty, well, this is the specific task of our combatant and her assistants, they established cooperation with the armed forces. forces are interested and well, i'm sorry, i have to say a word, they also ask us to work with them, yes, because the quality of our provision
