a huge organization so one thousand abusers is a minority but in the spirit of fairness i think these card abusers should be punished just as harshly as normal people who run afoul of the i.r.s. a fascist i happen. to believe i believe clay is the perfect material it's alive. working with the demands persuasion. you make just a small change and you get a totally different result. was that before getting to work you have to study the material watch it over try to figure out what it looks like then the image comes to
1:30 am
you. when i'm operating. the moment i make that first incision. when i touch the tissue i can feel the patient's character through my hands i can sense the person very well. my life has changed a hundred percent. for four years. all i saw small flippers blood. and mutilated bodies. i know the same system that i was before the second chechen war i have an absolutely different outlook now she knew nothing surprises me anymore.
1:31 am
my last name is by a of my first name. i come from. a small village in the czech republic the plastic surgeon. mentions a fight to those already during the war i had to perform surgery in calling conditions i had to fight for its life. over those two years i operated on four thousand six hundred people but during the second war i literally had no time to keep a record. but i know i did at least twice as many. of the
1:32 am
worst thing though is that we badly need more specialist in chechnya because so many people left during the war. in europe now. many people wait and hope that i'll come and operate on them for free. i love an eleven. yes says she was crossing the streets on the road on the road. it was ninety ninety five we've waited and waited for you know but we couldn't find you close your eyes. just here and yes that can be removed. now you won't see it at all. you can remove it yeah. today. many children and adults of colds who need to be given correct. if
1:33 am
surgery after the war. over what for me. i'm afraid to turn on myself and. there's no telling what's going to happen. i have to delete fifty six texts at once now i have another thirty six new ones finds out of memory. the grapevines working word is spreading. i says that my husband's sister has studied with. she's known him for many years
1:34 am
and she knows he's a good man and a good surgeon and so she suggested i turn to him. and i just know that. well you got here ok. what a pretty top knot you have. of course this is a little complicated. they came from the south. i first saw them about six months ago. i told them they were going to have to wait because there wasn't enough to show yet you for your kind now because. of course when parents interest those tiny fragile bodies into your care which is a huge sense of responsibility.
1:35 am
to give these like geometry numbers and we start by marking out the incision lines as a guide. and then we begin to count to try and restore a normal forms tradition which it's very intricate work. you need very sensitive hands like a surgeon you could say. when you get to work you study the material figure out what it looks like. clay it's like skin. smooth when astutely for and then it gets older and starts to sweat out salt which then dries it up and then eventually it cracks and it's.
1:36 am
good to see each was back in two thousand and nine move in the west when i was driving through stuff or mystical about two hundred kilometers from the city there's a chain. and yet they're in sydney and they stopped me and i asked the police officer took one look at my passport and said so how's your home village doing. and said one. hundred. he said he'd been a mercenary in chechnya. as a grain silo there he said that big ten are. still there i told him to get. well he said we will post it on top of it to look at shooting down a village and when the subrogate said we'll talk about it let's go about doing it
1:37 am
and that village. was a crazy doctor it was a how was it possible he sent for him to set that night and day you mean operating under fire. rather than when it was over the first ball version you know both and we had no doubt the be a second. when . i had a mini van i used it as an ambulance. i took out all the seats opened up the back and put in mattresses that's how i transported the injured to here. i was the only doctor of five villages but. i thought to myself who i work with this morning. i soon learned that out of ten doctors. i was the only one left along with eight nurses.
1:38 am
and we had nothing until. water no heat no electricity. it's rained down on our heads. windows were blocked up with sandbags there were no windows. and this was the operating theatre and the walls were scarred by shrapnel . and mines a field operating table here. just a very small table. with more than i usually can get a battery from a car would use that of what i thought was as long as i had a flashlight and a working battery and i had a good enough environment to work and. we had none of the proper surgical
1:39 am
instruments we needed. we performed amputations with a simple metal hand saw each and used a hand drill for craniotomy. and of course every day was horrific in its own way. the most horrific day of all of course was when i was in a state of shock. that was in two thousand. four thousand people walked across the minefield. but a hundred ninety of them were left on the minefield they all died and three hundred people were brought to my hospital. was among them along with other terrorist leaders. i am petes age of his right leg he lost a lot of blood his pupils were dilated and his blood pressure was fifty over forty .
1:40 am
yeah we went to the same school i make no secret of it i've never hidden the fact we played football together we spent ten years at the same school board. i'm not the almighty i can't predict what the future might hold for. no dust or anywhere else north or. it's not my role to judge whether one person is go to the other battle what they might do i just don't have that right. they have to deal with their own conscience and i have no regrets i would regret it if i hadn't stayed and done what i did during the war when i saved lives.
1:41 am
1:42 am
1:43 am
1:45 am
out of the house and at that moment a tank shell exploded. like this father died just torn to shreds. and he was badly wounded a miracle he survived you know what your movie had shrapnel injuries in his hands had to amputate two fingers. he also had shrapnel wounds all over his back. he was only twelve years old back then. i hope that this never happens again. because of how. he saved my life. much.
1:46 am
people just went home. with relatives helping. the dentist i realized that man has limited potential. human conditions i could have saved. and they were so confident that i could help but of course. i was never able to say . i can't help you in these conditions. i have no right to say that. before surgery. really well. the defects was very challenging.
1:47 am
but nevertheless an extremely good result. more than you might have noticed. that she looks completely different now. every successful operation leaves here with a great sense of satisfaction. at the same time he can believe me operating on children is a very very tough job. the body is so fragile. d.m.'s me is totally different. thank god in this case there was enough to shoot to rebuild the lip and those.
1:48 am
and then of course that'll go down it will get better. you see the left side of the nose was badly deformed now it's totally different the lips different two you can see how after the operation the child has changed. the worst so happy with the outcome we're very grateful to him we did right to come here even though we had been afraid we'd heard of her son's golden hands and now we know that it's true. yeah you just finished with. i'm tired. of the rest of the next life. no rest in this one.
1:49 am
soon she's too good and you might do if they started doing judo and sambo in one hundred seventy six i'm sure contributes a good way to restore energy it also helps with concentration because during surgery some of my younger colleagues often wonder how can i stand still for seven or eight hours staring at one point while i operate. strategy on the mat. if your nervous system is weak you burn out and lose but if your nerves are strong you'll win. sometimes you get to the final and you're sure you're going to win. only a few seconds left but your opponent has nothing to lose and really goes for it lost out a few times to a painful throw or a choke hold. on one fine day about five hundred men arrived at four in the morning and surrounded the village and hear that it was there it was one hundred percent
1:50 am
certain that the slaughter. he was well aware that a.p.c. is brought into the russian soldiers here every day. grabs me drags me down the corridor also the no one could see but everyone did. they find a gun i mean above my head and then my feet to scare me. and then they held a shari'a hearing. they said i'd sold out to the russians. they were about to shoot me i thought this is it. or didn't but suddenly the wooden gate opened and in drove a car. they opened up the back and started pulling out guerrillas in camouflage
1:51 am
gear shouting where's the doctor where's the doctor well my execution was postponed i had to attend to them if they come in minutes even seconds later i would have already been dead. when i watched this occur it doesn't feel like me at all. it's someone totally different someone i don't know. now i often think how could i have survived all that. we get over to.
1:52 am
live with the eyes reveal a person's character. his eyebrows dipped down and he looks really tired shit because if he's reminiscing about the past to explain and he's looking at you but at the same time he's somewhere else. you thought it was a matter of a few international organizations heard about my shaman rights watch amnesty international physicians for human rights and. they found me and. there was one
1:53 am
doctor with them who said. i can see all the horrors of war in your face. yeah and they took me to america where i was in rehabilitation for six months. i was in a terrible psychological state. i felt as i was about to explode and i started getting gastrointestinal bleeding. it was a big fire i had problems. then i had total amnesia the whole bunch of health problems came out. it took four years in the u.s. just to repair my health. and i really missed my work i missed it so much there were times when every night i dreamed of
1:54 am
performing surgery of course i knew perfectly well that someday i'd be back at my place on the operating table. and now i am. used to go to church three or four months time but now since becoming an american citizen i have more opportunity to spend time there last year i spent eleven months in chechnya. this is how i've lived for these last years. i really mean. whenever i leave. my conscience torments me. i had this idea i want to mission. i want to bring a medical team to chechnya to work here he. brought
1:55 am
teams from boston before twice. when. we operated on two hundred twenty children in just those two to chechnya. going. home. while our. sons. hired you. i don't know how it is for surgeons but for me the important thing is to get the shape right. i know i have plenty of material to help me start over but you have to
1:56 am
get it right on the first attempt. thankfully i can really see myself in really got the shape of my years i've always said you've got cauliflower ears sometimes. the sun has seen what we've all seen here but like an artist he has taken it all to heart. and the chechens don't like to complain. to say they feel bad or that life was hot. we consider it shameful even a disgrace when people grumble. wouldn't show our emotions. we keep it all inside.
