How Ukrainian doctors help at the front
Budrigannews.com – Teams of army doctors near the front line can perform five amputations simultaneously on the heaviest days of fighting in east Ukraine in an effort to save limbs and lives.
However, at a military hospital in the Donetsk region that treats soldiers who have been wounded in some of the bloodiest battles in the nearly ten months of conflict with Russian forces, no two days are the same.
“There are days when there are many vigorously injured: four to five simultaneous amputations In some cases there is nobody for two, three, four hours,” said Oleksii, a 35-year-old armed force specialist who declined to give his complete name.

Every day is unique. Certainly, there are troublesome days, particularly when our (warriors) are going after. The work can then continue for five, six, or seven consecutive hours.”
Oleksii’s top priority is to keep blood loss to a minimum by preserving blood-stained limbs that are tightly bound on the battlefield.
“Our primary focus is patient stabilization. He stated, “I think that the most important part of our job is to remove the tourniquet quickly so that we can give the patient a chance to save a limb or part of a limb.”
Oleksii Nazaryshyn, a brigade military service chief who is 36 years old, has only one objective: to save lives.
He stated, “We must ensure that the boys do not die and reach the next point of evacuation.”
Children’s drawings are used to decorate the military hospital in an effort to boost soldiers’ morale. For security reasons, Reuters has chosen not to reveal its location.
“Warrior from Ukraine! One of the drawings declares, “We, the students of Bystrivska gymnasium, wish you victory and God’s protection for our Ukraine.”
As wounded soldiers are brought in on bloody stretchers, some of the staff struggle to hold back their tears.
To be honest, bringing in very young boys is very difficult mentally. We moved 2002 and 2000-born boys without legs. It is intellectually exceptionally hard,” said a 24-year-old understudy who gave her name just as Olena.
“You can cry alone, but when you go through the doors, you have to smile because they (the wounded) are looking at you and saying, “I am already doing better.” “When you’re alone, you can cry,”
She praised the bravery and determination of the soldiers.
“All the time he (the injured) is being acquired and says ‘close me up and I’ll return to the young men! There are my boys.’ Nobody said anything like, “Take me away, I want to go home.” She stated, “Everyone says, “My boys are there, I will go to them.”
