From February 24, the calls have radically changed their nature. They are very emotionally hard themselves. Most often, these are mine-explosive injuries and shrapnel wounds

Every day we received more and more new experience in providing emergency medical care. The worst thing is to see all the horrors after the explosions. And especially children whose parents died at the scene. Sometimes I come to a call where an explosion has sounded. Fortunately, the child is alive, but his parents are no longer there. It is painful, very painful to see with your own eyes the mutilated lives and destinies of our Ukrainians.

In the end, there were many victims: both dead and wounded. At that time, I was helping a young 31-year-old woman. She had shrapnel wounds in her head, she fainted. Stopping the bleeding, applying a tight bandage, administering painkillers and blood-stopping drugs, replenishing the BCC – I did everything that depended on me.The countdown lasted literally minutes. Then there was hospitalization and the continuation of the fight for her life.

And this is not the only case. There was no day when Kharkiv was not shelled. Therefore, we actually see every day how lives are cut short by explosions at one moment.

From the first day of war, our team is united and friendly and we professionally perform all functional duties. And this is no exaggeration. I am proud of how many human lives our medics saved during the war. I am grateful to the management, because every day I feel support and care, and this inspires me to continue working. I knew that I was needed right here. I have never considered the option of going to a safer place, in order to outlast this active phase, when the earth here shakes from explosions every day.
