Interesting stories from the work of a surgeon. Real funny stories in medicine. United

The hero of this story works as a dentist. And somehow a girl came to see him - to remove a tooth. The tooth was safely removed and the doctor suggested that the girl sit until the gums stop bleeding. Usually, the blood stops after 20 minutes, but in this case the blood did not stop even after 40, and this servant of Hippocrates went to the senior doctor to consult what to do. He says - ask the girl, does she accidentally menstruate? Maybe she should be injected with some kind of coagulant to make the blood clot better? Well, the doctor comes up to the girl and quietly asks:
"Excuse me, girl, are you by any chance menstruating?"
To which this frame replies, after a little thought: "No. But I'm busy in the evening."

I want to tell a story that happened to my brother, who worked as a dentist after graduation. A woman came to him to extract a tooth. The brother gave an injection of painkillers and began to pull the tooth. The woman is hurt, he gave another injection, the woman is hurt. He put another one, the woman still hurts. There have been no such cases yet. He tells her: "Woman, it doesn't hurt you, you just don't like it." Removed her tooth. The woman left, after which it dawned on him that he put injections in the lower jaw, and the tooth was removed from the upper.

My doctor friend told me the story. I speak on his behalf. After graduating from the institute, I went through practice in intensive care. And then one day in the spring they bring a guy - a victim of unhappy love. I must say, in the spring such idiots are simply brought to hospitals in batches, hormones are raging. That boy was poisoned by something, but not completely. They pumped him out, made a dropper, and he lies. And since all this time he was yelling that he would not live without her, that he would kill himself, they tied him to the bed with straps.

Since everything is in order with the boy, it is necessary to transport him from the intensive care unit, which I was instructed to do. I take him with a dropper, but he does not calm down, he yells. I got a little tired of it, and I decided to pin it.
- Oh, so, - I say, - if you don't want to live, well, you don't have to, you will be an organ donor. And I disconnect his drip. The action is harmless, but the effect is produced by one more. And I'm taking it further. He quieted down. I go to the elevator. And I must say that it was possible to carry it in two ways: on top, and through the basement, where the morgue is. So, I go into the elevator, they ask me where:
- Upstairs, or to the morgue?

I say: - To the morgue. The boy turns white and starts mumbling something about killer doctors. When they got to the bottom, he began to yell at the top of his voice:
- Save, help, kill! And everyone sees that the man, obviously not himself, is fastened to the bed with straps, and they don’t pay any attention to this, someone reassures:
- It doesn't hurt, be patient, once - and it's ready ... The boy understands that this is clearly a universal conspiracy, remembers all the films where organs are cut out from people and falls into complete prostration ...

When we got to the ward, it became scary to look at him, he was lying all white, submissive to fate. He didn't try to kill himself again, shock therapy, you know...

At the Children's Hospital, the head physician Velm is holding a general hospital meeting. He speaks, he speaks, he speaks. Everyone is bored, but everyone listens. Only head. anesthesiology, Baturin sits and, paying no attention to anyone, makes himself a manicure, i.e. cuts his nails with tweezers (You can be a practical person, etc.) In the silence of the audience - only the monotonous speech of the speaker and no less monotonous methodical clicks. And the latter are heard louder. Velm can't stand it, breaks off and remarks displeasedly:
- Sergei Mikhailovich, could you cut your nails in another place?
To which the anesthesiologist Privalov reacts indifferently from the last row:
- And they don't grow anywhere else!

Barnaul gynecologists told me such a story)))))).
A woman comes to the maternity hospital for an appointment with a gynecologist and lies down in a chair. She pulls on her gloves and approaches the patient, crying out in displeasure, why, they say, she didn’t shave, the birth is coming soon, they already warned her to immediately, and so on. Where is the husband? Yes, he came with me, after all, there is ice, well, he is standing under the door in the corridor, he is worried about the first-born. The gynecologist flies out into the corridor, grabs a man by the sleeve, and drags him into the examination room. This is what it is, she screams, this is why, how do I work in such conditions, and where did you see all this. He replies that he has not seen, and generally sees for the first time. The gynecologist is indignant, they say, if you haven’t seen it, so why are you pointing it out and don’t let us work. To which the man reasonably objects that he sees this woman in the armchair, who lies all over, for the first time in his life. She weakly confirms his testimony that it is unknown who. Aaaaa, the man guesses, you need the one who went out to smoke ... so he, ha ha, will come soon. Pushed, in general, into the corridor

How to exercise correctly so as not to harm yourself

Head exercise
For this exercise, you will need a small head, which can be found between your hands. Lay your head on the floor in front of you. Take it with both hands. On the count of one, we raise our head as high as possible, on the count of two, we lower it. And so 20-25 times.

Exercise privatization
For this exercise, you will need an expander (if you don’t have one, take it from a neighbor), dumbbells (you can get them from another neighbor), a jump rope (you can ask a neighbor girl for it) and a tracksuit that one of your friends will probably have. Now put it all in the closet and mind your own business. These things may come in handy someday.

Plate exercise
A partner is needed for this exercise, your wife is best. The partner stands near the cabinet with dishes, and you give a prearranged signal with a phrase like: You are as stupid as your mother! Quick tilt to the side! Now to another! Bounce! Get down! Did not have time? Do not despair! Move on to the next closet.

Doctor's story.

One evening a strange couple came into my waiting room. a disheveled man with a bottle of beer and a tear-stained lady. Watching them through the half-open door of the office, I decided that in front of me was an ordinary alcoholic and his tortured wife, especially since their dialogue was quite typical.

Get rid of this crap now. - the lady sobbed, can you at least five minutes without it?
- Well, a little more, - the man answered absently, - well, now.

I invited the lady into the office, and she, sobbing incessantly, began to tell.

Doctor, I was told that with the help of psychoanalysis you work miracles. No, you have no idea how terrible it is! My husband used to be a decent person, but now. He does not sleep, does not eat, forgets everything, chases monsters at night. He stopped combing his hair, all he knows is that he smokes endlessly, the apartment is all the time in smoke and in beer bottles. And all the money goes to that. Don't laugh at me, I'm not joking, this is very serious.

I automatically wrote in the card: .Delirium tremens ..
- Do not worry, - I said, - I use very effective methodology developed. Jung. I call keywords, the patient talks about his associations, and I find out what is the reason disease state what is going on in his subconscious. Of course, it's a serious matter. I will test it and treat it. The process is long and difficult.

The lady looked at me hopefully and left. I told the secretary to inform the rest of the sufferers that the appointment for the day was over. And he called the wife of the sad lady, but he did not react in any way. He looked terrible: unkempt hair and beard, a distant look, eyes shining with crazy fire. .Autism., - I wrote down and, with difficulty dragging the poor fellow to the couch, said:

Please tell us about your mother.
- What can I say about her? . suddenly the patient soared, - the whole curve. She's buggy, you bastard, all the time. You won't get any support from her.

Hereditary depressive psychosis, - I wrote in the card.
- Yes, what to take from mom. she is Chinese. -. The patient waved his hand dismissively.
- Chinese? . I was surprised. . You don't seem to be Chinese. What else can you say about her? You do not want, for example, to treat your mother?
- Oh, what I just did not try. Wedge her at the most crucial moment. If I had the chance, I would have changed it a long time ago. It is necessary to take it, - the patient sighed. She hangs, you understand? Work only starts and once hangs.

So, everything is clear with my mother, - I said, writing down: .Suicidal attempts on the part of the mother. How about, hm. your dad?
- How how. There are a lot of dads, only they are all rotten. Yesterday, mom jammed again, climbed to look, and dad on mom was already without a pin.

Oedipus complex, - I wrote in the map.
- Don't you complain about your memory? I asked.
- How would you say. complain. I don't have much sense, of course," he said. Eight meters. Because of this, the monsters run slowly, even uninteresting. What can you offer cheaply?
- Tell me about your monsters. I asked. The patient revived.
- That's just yesterday ... you know, such harmful two-headed lizards were caught, so nothing helps from them. Well, it is clear that the Voodoo doll is good. And the fiery dogs that snoop around everywhere - it’s generally disgusting with them, you yourself know. You will burn. until all health is gone. And different monks go there, some with machine guns, others with shotguns. I jumped out here recently to the square in an invisibility scarf, there are fifteen of them there. Go ahead and shoot. I even felt sorry for them.

And how long have you been shooting these monks? . I asked.
No, just two weeks. Before, the Fritz used to shoot in the basement. I wrote down: . paranoid delusions in an acute stage ... This person could serve study guide in psychiatry. It was absolutely clear that the poor fellow could rave in this way for hours. He needed urgent hospitalization, and simple psychoanalysis clearly could not help. It was a pity for the unfortunate wife who sobbed outside the door. but what to do...

By the way, about the wife. - Tell me, why are you arguing with your wife now? - How because of what? . the patient was surprised. Like everyone else, because of this very thing. He reached into his bag and pulled out his laptop. Turned off, by the way... On the screen one could see the gray walls of the castle and some figures in overalls.

Oh, so you understand computers? . I rejoiced. -. You know, I have a problem here. The patient looked at me suspiciously and asked: - Kettle. whether? - Yes, not a kettle, the kettle works, it is Philips, good. They gave me a computer, but it does not work. I felt that my voice had become obsequious, but I could not help myself. The computer was badly needed. The patient approached my indifferent Pentium, clicked on the keys and said:

It's a serious matter, now I'll test it and I'll treat it. Have a smoke? Will you smoke yourself? - You know, actually I don't smoke, but on this occasion. An hour later, we already switched to you ... We crawled along the carpet among the parts, wires and screwdrivers, and I found that now I understand him perfectly, even if he mumbles indistinctly. An hour later, he asked for something to drink, and I got a beer from the refrigerator that belonged to the guard. Then the beer ran out and we switched to cognac given to me by a previous visitor. At the same time, we decided to try out the computer on the network, connected mine and his and played a little.

I came to my senses only in the evening from a wild cry. On the threshold stood a tearful old woman.
- Doctor, doctor, I'm calling you, but you don't hear, just like him. What did he do to you? It's contagious, right?
- Nothing, - I was surprised, mechanically shaking off the ashes on the carpet, - everything is in order. And your husband is fine. Only then did I look at myself in the mirror. I took off and threw in a corner a long time ago a white bathrobe, remaining in jeans and a cowboy shirt. Beer bottles and cigarette butts lay on the carpet. My jeans were bubbling on my knees, my hair was tangled, my gaze was distant, and my eyes shone with mad fire.

A story from life: Almost unconscious, the wife whispers to her husband in bed: -Take me, take ... -Are you crazy or what? I'm not going anywhere!

... "Chlamydia is a cosmic virus, but this virus is not cosmic, it is Cosmic" (c) From the materials of a doctoral dissertation on Agni Yoga

How diplomacy is practiced in Odessa.

I am telling from the words of one OSMU teacher, the main participant in the events, a doctor at the infectious diseases hospital. The times of the USSR, bourgeois doctors (a professor with students) came to us, something like an exchange of experience. Well, they arrived, they were met, they exchanged experiences, everything was as it should be. Well, they were taken to show the sights ...

And in Odessa, the main attraction is ... what? That's right, Import! They took them to Privoz. When the bourgeoisie saw our tomatoes, they were delighted, they say that they don’t have such large ones (you don’t have to be so happy, it was before Chernobyl) Well, they bought a bucket and let’s immediately flee in joy ... forgetting all the doctor’s recommendations, without washing them and all that. And in Odessa at that time there were several epidemics of cholera ...

So, by the evening, some of the bourgeois began to growl in their stomachs, some began to run from the room to the toilet and back ... Yes, and one of the students was the wife of a professor (this is a fairly common phenomenon among them), so her, according to Murphy's law or who else was screwed there the most. Well, the professor didn’t say anything to any of our luminaries, he treated everyone with some kind of antibiotic of his own. At night, however, the student became very sick (as you know, the most seriously ill patients are brought at night, and certainly on Friday), she was taken to the glorious Odessa infectious diseases hospital, and our today's teacher was on duty there.

Well, he got a call from the KGB (and earlier the entire exchange of experience took place under the paternal tutelage of this organization), they told him what was happening, that they were Americans and all that. He comes to intensive care, enters the ward and ... an oil painting. On the couch lies a former student with a dropper, and next to him, on the FLOOR, on some dirty sheets the professor settled in. Well, of course, our doctor immediately raised a ruckus about how, why, etc.

The nurse who came running explained in a whisper: “I come, I look, a girl is lying, but some gypsy settled down next to her, so I made him a bed ...” In general, they transferred them to the very, very ward, arranged everything as it should, on the next day the student was already on her feet. The bourgeois had to go to Kyiv. They got into the car, in front and behind an honorary escort from the brave police, they drove. Well, our laboratory (which, by the way, was not in the infectious diseases hospital) took for analysis, I beg your pardon, the feces of a student. Well, they began to check for various microbes, including cholera (because, if you remember, there were several epidemics in Odessa then.)

Well, the KGB asked the laboratory what was happening, but since the tests were not yet ready, they said that there were cholera vibrios in the feces ... A little reference - each of us has these very vibrios in the body, only there are pathogenic (causing cholera) and non-pathogenic (safe for us) vibrios. They haven't managed to determine which ones were isolated from the student yet, so they simply said "there are cholera vibrios". The KGB immediately calls Kyiv, telling the local branch that Americans sick with cholera are coming to them (and during the cholera epidemic, entire cities were closed, no one was allowed in or let out). There is a panic in Kyiv, a helicopter is sent by air ambulance to meet the Americans, from a helicopter the authorities give an order to our policemen to take the Americans back to Odessa, and not to let them out of the car on the way (and the Americans were already approaching Kyiv), so that they do not spread the infection.

The whole cortege turns around and goes back. Well, they explained the situation to the Americans, they endure it, although many of them already had bellies after tomatoes. They bring them back to the infectious diseases hospital in the evening, our teacher is again on duty. The Americans, first of all, rushed to the distillation to the toilet, which, by the way, was the only one. There has never been such a rush at the toilet since then. Well, the KGB called our doctor again, they said that cholera should be treated. The teacher doubted, like he saw them recently, it doesn’t look like cholera. But there is nothing to do, the KGB knows better. It was necessary to take a scraping from the anus for analysis from everyone ...

When the Americans were told this, they howled in protest. Well, their professor, as a mature and understanding person, meekly passed such an analysis, while the students began to resist. Well, it wasn’t there, our caring nurses got down to business. One stood in the doorway, blocking the only exit with her immense chest, while the other two caught rushing students in the ward and escorted them one by one under their white hands for analysis. In general, the analysis was done by everyone. But the students staged a hunger strike as a protest, the case smelled of an international scandal...


A friend of mine worked at the ER for a while, and this is what happened there.
Night. Duty. Everyone has already gone to bed. From time to time, the attendants are called to take in new patients, each attendant has his own ward. And finally, it was the turn of my friend. "Dima, go to the fourth, they brought you a man with a closed head injury.
- How is the condition?
Yes, okay, we're moving on.
I go up to the emergency room, I see that there is no one on the table, I think that a person is lying on a gurney, now the sisters will be admitted, and we will lift him to the ward. I take an accompanying report, read the diagnosis: "TCHMT" (see above). I read further the column "What happened" and quietly go nuts. "Walked. Fell. Swollen. Died."
Mother honest, this is what an ambulance arranged such a trick in the middle of the night. They themselves do not want to mess with the dead, call the police, so they slipped it on us. I began to call the brigade that brought this comrade. They connected me with them by radio.
- So-peretak, I say, who did you bring me?
- What is it? Normal injury:
- Yes, he's dead.
- What is already dead? We took the living
- What is written in the accompanying document? "Walked. Fell. Swollen. Died."
Silence at the other end. Then after a pause.
- Dima, we were in a hurry and cut it down: Swell. Died - Moderate tumor:
I went up to the gurney, and there, quietly snoring, a drunken man with a hefty bump on his forehead was sleeping in a hollow.

In a certain hospital there were not enough places (the situation is not rare), people were put right in the corridor. The corridor was long and narrow, which is why the doctors called it sausage. So, they somehow bring a new patient to the doctor: a granny in her 70s (in the clinic she was given a referral for a brain scan).
After the appointment, the doctor said a simple, in general, phrase: "We take a picture of the brain and put the granny in the corridor (since there are no empty seats)", but only in the language of doctors - "We remove the skull, and on the sausage!". You can imagine the reaction of the grandmother!

Again, a real case in a pharmacy. A shelf .... under it is a sign "contraceptives" .... On the left is a condom, on the right uterine spiral......... in the middle (may the men forgive me - I didn’t post it) - scissors.

By the way, about round eyes... A friend of mine once told a story from the life of doctors. I'm not an expert and I don't understand the terms, so excuse me.
Somehow, one ulcer department received a new Japanese device with light guides for examining the intestines. Moreover, there were 2 light guides - one oral, the second, respectively, anal. There is practically no difference between them. While our kulibins mastered the device and trained on each other, the oral part broke down.
"Ahhh, blah" - said the Russian doctors and wanted to push the device into the far corner. But it was not there. A patient came to them for research, and somehow it turned out that someone somewhere was in a hurry about the device, someone was reported somewhere ahead of time, and now a military major was standing in front of the doctors with a referral for examination with this very device.
After a brief discussion, it was decided to conduct an examination through the mouth, but with an anal light guide. The light guide is new, never used, only it did not pass through the opening of the oral strut - it was a little thicker. After scratching their heads a little, the medics adapted some kind of metal ring from those that are the first to be tucked under the arm under the spacer and tried to shove the light guide into the major.
Well, what can you do - there are people who find it difficult to even swallow pills, not like light guides. Major was one of them. I don’t know if he used wire cutters in the troops to cut through the barbed wire of the enemy, but his powerful jaws broke the metal ring into 4 pieces and bit through the new Japanese light guide, which he spat out.
And what about round eyes, you ask? A couple of days later, a specialist from the branch of the company, a Japanese, arrived from Moscow. So, when he saw a bitten anal light guide, with imprints of teeth, his eyes became not only round, they also climbed onto his forehead along with his glasses. He twisted the light guide in his hands for a long time and whispered something in Japanese. How well-mannered person, he did not ask unnecessary questions, but collected spare parts and left for the company, promising to send a new unit. They say that he even got on the plane with the same wide-open eyes.

A young Canadian venereologist Robert Clechard went to a small village on the island of Newfoundland. His task was to take local residents blood tests (in total, 23 men and 14 women aged 22 to 47 live in this village). The inhabitants of the village are engaged in fishing and logging. All women are married.
The young doctor took blood samples and brought them to the mainland to the clinic. There he spent necessary tests and found out that all the inhabitants of this village are sick with AIDS. What they were quick to tell.
When Klechar was sent to the same village after 5 months for re-analysis, he found a complete bedlam there. The inhabitants decided to live out the rest of their days in style. They withdrew money from their accounts and indulged in drunkenness and debauchery. Klechar was shocked by what he saw. Champagne flowed like a river, everyone had long forgotten who was whose husband and wife. They acted on the principle: whoever I want, I love. Naturally, everyone abandoned their work.
Somehow, Klechar managed to take blood samples from the participants of the orgy, which was held under the motto "we live the last hours."
A day later Klechar became ill. Why? Yes, because repeated tests showed no hint of AIDS. When the residents of the village were informed about this, the hops disappeared from them in an instant.
There is a court. 14 families were broken up. Drunk a lot of money. Residents of the village demand compensation from Klechar in the amount of almost 3 million dollars. True, some of them do not regret anything. As it turned out, they are mostly bachelors.

After graduating from the institute, I went through practice in intensive care. And then one day in the spring they bring a guy - a victim of unhappy love. I must say in the spring such idiots are simply brought to hospitals in batches, hormones are raging:
That boy was poisoned by something, but not completely. They pumped him out, made a dropper, and he lies. And since all this time he was yelling that he would not live without her, that he would kill himself, they tied him to the bed with straps. Since everything is in order with the boy, it is necessary to transport him from the intensive care unit, which I was instructed to do.
I take him with a dropper, but he does not calm down in any way - he yells. I got a little tired of it, and I decided to pin it.
- Oh, so I say, you don’t want to live, well, you don’t have to, you will be an organ donor, and I disconnect the drip from him. The action is harmless, but the effect is still produced.
And I'm taking it further. He quieted down. I go to the elevator. And I must say that it was possible to carry it in two ways: on top, and through the basement, where the morgue is. So I go into the elevator, they ask me where: Upstairs, or to the morgue? I say:
- To the morgue.
The boy turns white and starts mumbling something about killer doctors. When they got to the bottom, he began to yell at the top of his voice - "Save, help, they are killing!"
And everyone sees that the man, obviously not himself, is fastened to the bed with straps, and they don’t pay any attention to this, someone reassures:
- It does not hurt; be patient; once and done and so on...
The boy understands that this is clearly a universal conspiracy, recalls all the films where people's organs are cut out and falls into complete prostration ... When they got to the ward, it became scary to look at him, all white was submissive to fate.
He never tried to commit suicide again, shock therapy!

Medicine and dementia. Doctors' stories.
1. “I will never have a baby, no one cleans them in hospitals anymore.”
She is 30.
2. I once had a 20 year old patient who didn't know that sex could lead to pregnancy. I had no idea.
3. Looking at the patient's medical record, the doctor sees the diagnosis - diabetes.
Doctor: Do you have any medical indications?
Patient: No.
Doctor: Are you sure you were never told that you were sick with something?
Patient: Never.
Doctor: What medications are you taking?
Patient: Insulin… For diabetes.
4. A middle-aged woman in last minute before the operation (she was already wheeled into the operating room) she says that she is allergic to latex. Everyone is in shock - half of the devices used in the operating room contain latex! So we take her to a special latex-free operating room and perform the operation there.
When she woke up after the operation, I asked her how she reacted to latex.
"I just really don't like the sound of putting on latex gloves, dear." I just turned around and left.
5. No, my fiancé and I don't want our daughter to get vaccinated, vitamin K injections, PKU tests, antibiotic eye ointment. This is poison. Poking her with a needle is worse than the "cold" she'll get without the "poison"
And they took their newborn daughter home in a car that smelled of cigarettes and weed throughout the parking lot.
6. A 20-year-old patient came to the clinic. The main complaint in the questionnaire: "Personal". It's already fun. I go in, the guy is depressed and sad. He tells a story about how he slept with a girl, without protection, after he noticed that "she was wearing a plastic box." When she said it was an insulin pump for diabetes, he turned gray. Immediately rushed to get tested for diabetes.
7. “I had asthma as a child, stop drilling me and telling me how to raise my daughter just because you think you are smarter than me! ". Leaves the hospital.

8. "Do not drink or eat anything after midnight" - before the morning operation of his 3-year-old daughter (Glanda). During intubation the next morning, the girl vomits scrambled eggs, the vomit enters the lungs. My heart stopped and I made her artificial massage hearts 25 minutes. They pumped her out, the operation was canceled, and she was transferred to the pediatric department for ventilation of the lungs. Her father's response: “She said she was hungry. I thought you were too strict with her. It must have been something you did."
9. The patient was told that her son got sick every day at school because she gave him peanut butter sandwiches every day, and the child was allergic to peanuts. She didn't know, though, that peanut butter contained peanuts, and he, being only a student at high school(grade 5-7) was not smart enough to realize it himself.
10. A woman took the child's temperature by heating the oven with one hand on it and the other on the child's head. She told the nurse that the child had a temperature of about 120 degrees.
11. Veterinary. A woman fed her 3-month-old puppy every few days, for the sole reason that she believed that dogs should eat at that frequency. Came with hypoglycemia (of course!).

12. Once there was a patient who was prescribed an inhaler for an allergy to a cat. He returned a week later, said that the reaction had not improved at all. It turned out that he sprayed the inhaler on the cat.
13. My favorite was a patient who was prescribed to put on estrogen patches every day. On the next appointment she complained that she didn't like the patches at all because "I'm running out of space".

14. Mom brought the children to the clinic after Halloween, they ate all the candy and their stomachs hurt. When I entered the examination room, they were still eating toffee. I explained to her that they need to stop eating sweets. She looked at me like I had 3 heads.
15. There was a woman with diabetes, and she developed necrosis of her leg. The doctor told her that they would have to amputate her leg, and she replied, "No, Jesus will heal me."
The doctor looked at her and said, “Ma'am, demons are eating your leg. Jesus wants us to amputate it."

A 66-year-old pensioner was taken to one of the hospitals in Zaporozhye, who was immediately placed in intensive care unit. According to the doctors, this had not yet been seen in their practice: a nail was sticking out of the citizen's temples. To the surprise of the doctors, the victim soon came to his senses and even began to testify to the police, who were seriously interested in such an unusual incident. According to the patient, he himself hammered nails into his own head, trying to commit suicide with a hammer and hardware. However, the suicide was prevented by the neighbors, who found the pensioner on the street in this terrible state. The policemen do not deny the version of the attempted suicide, while noting that if it is proven, such an unusual way of voluntary death will be recorded by them for the first time. And the doctors have already dubbed the poor fellow "Zaporozhye phenomenon" who survived after such a serious injury.

Case on the way:
We are going on a train. At the bus stop, a woman enters a compartment with her little daughter. The woman says: I have to go, but my daughter has a toothache. Thank God, cured, managed. The doctor is good - his children do not cry.
I ask my daughter
- You are a brave girl, if you grow up, you will probably be an astronaut, like Svetlana Savitskaya?
- No, I'll be a dentist!
- Why?
- And I will tell everyone: "Well, shut up, why did you spread snot! Now, as a lady in the face, my own mother will not know!"

swallowed a toothbrush

It is difficult to surprise the doctors of the emergency room of the BSMP with anything. However, early in the morning of September 20, a patient came to them, with whom a very funny case, according to "Kama-press".
Returning home from another city in his car, the man for some reason began to brush his teeth on the go. During this process, a car suddenly drove out towards our hero. To avoid an accident, he swerved sharply to the side and did not understand how he swallowed a toothbrush. Two surgeons who examined the Chelnin man could not find anything in either the stomach or the intestines. They even did another X-ray, which also showed nothing.
However, the victim continued to have pain in his stomach. Luckily, within a few hours Toothbrush came out naturally, which saved the patient from the operation, and doctors - from the need to do it. As it turned out, the toothbrush was imported and, apparently, therefore, did not succumb to domestic x-rays. Well, now her fate is to be in the museum of "amazing things", where a whole "Japanese rock garden" already lives, which is collected by urologists during operations.

Universal brush

One man went on a business trip. There were few places in the hotel, they put him to stranger. In the morning the man woke up and went to the bathroom to wash himself. He looks - a neighbor unceremoniously brushes his teeth with his brush. Unpleasant, however. The peasant pretended not to notice anything, and returned to the room, but harbored evil. After waiting for the neighbor to finish the morning toilet, he went to the bathroom, took the same brush, sat opposite the guy on the bed and began to brush his heel diligently. He sees that the neighbor's eyes went out of his head:
- What are you doing?!!
- And what, in fact, surprised you so much? I'm scratching my heels. My fungus is very specific. It itches a lot in the morning. With a brush, except in the mornings, I save myself.
For some reason, the neighbor quickly packed his things and left in English, saying something offended.
The man returned home from a business trip, began to disassemble the bag. And I found in it ... two identical toothbrushes.

A friend is going to enter medical school, goes to courses, and has already managed to get acquainted with local students. One of them told her how they tried to make fun of her...
They took them all to the morgue - so that they would know what would happen if they were not cured; and you have to wear bathrobes, of course.
Somehow her fellow students managed to cut off from one of the "inhabitants" of the morgue male organ- and for the sake of a joke they put this girl in the pocket of her dressing gown.
The girl puts her hand in her pocket - and, not at all taken aback, pulls out this erotic souvenir, raises it above her head and asks:
- Guys, who lost?!

Tales of a Provincial Doctor

A company of doctors had a good walk: they were celebrating a holiday. Some drank themselves unconscious. In the morning, paramedic S. says to the orderly of the morgue P-sky:
“My head is buzzing like a bell!” I don't remember anything. Well, I got drunk yesterday!.. Like a pig, by God...
“No, nothing,” P-sky reassures her. - Well, she fell, well, she cursed, made noise and kicked ... But you, in general, kept the gases well.

AT small town Rumors are born out of the blue. There is no limit to human imagination.
Once in the hospital they did C-section and brought out the one-armed child. During pregnancy, the woman underwent another operation and, in addition, had a severe infection and received antibiotics.
A rumor spread around the city that children without arms and legs are now being born in the maternity hospital. A journalist from the local newspaper quickly scribbled a note. Survived, they say. In the city, they say, such an ecology that already one-armed babies are born.
The father of the child came to the head physician of the maternity hospital and began to swear: why, he says, does your medical staff keep their mouths shut? The city is small, now everyone is poking a finger ...
And the head doctor knows nothing.
“To us,” he answers, “no one from the editorial office came. We did not give any information to the newspaper.
- I'm going to sue you! the visitor threatens.
- Why go to court?
“But because everyone in the city says that we abandoned this child and threw it on others.
Chief Physician doesn't know what to think.

And it was like that. Around the same time, a foundling was indeed found in a children's hospital. In the clinic, at the office of the local doctor. Without thinking twice, the doctor took the baby to the hospital. There, the child was immediately named after this doctor.
In the same issue of the newspaper, but on a different page, a note about this case was printed. Well, and human rumor combined both episodes into one ...

She was admitted to the hospital pregnant. She has toxicosis. Doctor Lakhin undertook to treat her: he questions the patient in detail and carefully writes everything down in the medical history. Lakhin is an intellectual in the third generation, always smoothed and shaved, polite and attentive, while the patient is a modern cheeky girl, exhausted higher education, dissolute life in hostels and prolonged smoking of cheap cigarettes. Yes, and she has a lexicon - hold on! "Be-be", as they say.
- What are you complaining about? Lachin asks. - Nausea? Vomit?
- Yeah. Feels sick all day long, like a hangover.
- From a hangover? Hm... Do you have an appetite?
- How can I tell you, doc ... All day long, not a poppy straw in my mouth, and in the evening the zhor attacks.
“Pikes have zhor,” Lakhin tactfully corrects her.
- In pikes, in bitches ... - the patient "punches".
"F-fu!" Lakhin frowns.
- Well, when do you get sick? he asks. – In the mornings, in the evenings?
"Don't you know when you're sick, Doc?" she winks at him. And he adds in his own way: - You, s-skat, a grown-up man already, should understand ...
“What is she hinting at?” Lakhin is at a loss. “She must be confusing me with someone. What, however, an unceremonious little fellow ...”
“You, my dear, give up this amicosonicism,” he remarks sternly. - It is important for me to find out about everything, write everything down ... So take the trouble to answer my questions and not be distracted by extraneous topics.
- Oh please. I - forever, - she says peacefully. - Try.
“Well, thank God!” Lakhin sighs with relief. “I finally understood where I got to.”
“So,” he says, “nausea is bothering you. So does vomiting happen?
- No, I don’t scare the toilet.
“And you say you feel really bad.” In this case, try to describe your feelings more precisely. What do you mean by "nausea"? slight dizziness, heartburn, feeling of bitterness, metallic taste in the mouth...
- No, doc! she interrupts him impatiently. – How would you describe it? Well, it's as if... Well, that's how you, for example, get sick... right? More or less like this...

There was such a case in the city of N.: a boy ended up in intensive care. Him allergic shock. I was on a drip for three days. And I felt a little better - I decided to take a walk around the department. The doctor forbade him to walk and gave him an anesthetic injection. But the boy still did not want to lie down. As soon as the doctors turned away, he crawled from the bed to the floor. And the bed was iron, some kind of hook was sticking out of it. Here the boy ran into this hook. And he hurt his scrotum. The surgeon was urgently called. He stitched up the wound. The boy's parents came running, demanding a resuscitator: why, they say, didn't follow? And what will you answer? Yes, there is, of course, a sin, it would be better to look after the kid ...
And yet the doctor decided not to blame himself. He went out into the lobby thoughtful, preoccupied and said to the boy's parents:
- Terrible case. Simply unique. Medicine does not remember this. Imagine: a guy terrible allergy. Total edema of the whole body. Moreover, it is so strong that somewhere it even burst. I had to sew...

Dr. Trakhomkin, a well-known ophthalmologist in the city, was on his way to work. I was late. There was no bus for a long time. I had to get into a suburban one (he could also take me to the hospital). As soon as Trakhomkin perched on the front platform, the conductor came up.
“We take tickets,” she ordered in a businesslike manner.
Trakhomkin silently took the travel card out of his pocket and showed it to the conductor. She began to object:
- In the suburbs, your travel card is up to us. Buy a ticket.
- Why? You have one office, one boss - the same as the city bus workers. I can say that I already paid my fare two weeks ago - a month in advance. If only we were paid like this...
- I know nothing. We are financed by the regional authorities,” the conductor waved her hand away. - And you gave the money for the ticket to the city treasury.
Trakhomkin said nothing more: some kind of stupid argument, by God. Just paid the fare, took the ticket. He sits by the window, looks at the street, gets angry: “They, you see, the district finances. But I’m flying everyone: both urban and rural. And the city pays me a salary. But, nevertheless, I don’t refuse anyone. here they almost portrayed a stowaway."
The conductor walked on down the bus. Trakhomkin did not see her for some time. Suddenly she hurriedly approaches again. Silently takes the doctor's ticket and returns the money.
- What? Why? Trakhomkin is surprised.
“That’s right,” whispers the conductor. - So it was ordered.
- Who commanded? Where?
“There…” She nods back vaguely. And pokes money.
- Come on, - Trakhomkin dismisses, - nothing ...
- No no...
“Yeah,” Trakhomkin sneers, “one of my former patients must have recognized me and whispered something to her - why, they say, you are robbing your own, this is our doctor ...”
Trakhomkin sits by the window and sniffs resentfully. “What is it that turns out to be?” he thinks. “They returned the money to me!
Twice offended...

A young gynecologist Olga Prokofieva examined a new patient and noticed that the glove on her hand was torn. It is not difficult to imagine the doctor's horror when, two days later, the news came that the patient had syphilis! This sometimes happens in the life of a gynecologist: it suddenly turns out that a patient who had an urgent need to be operated on is registered with a venereal dispensary, which means that now, in order not to get sick, the doctor will have to go through preventive treatment... With Olga, this happened for the first time, so she was upset, she began to shed tears.
“Wait a minute, rumbling,” Chilikov began to reassure her. - Just think, the glove was torn ... Not a condom! Yes, and what's wrong with that - torn? It doesn't mean anything yet. The main thing is that there are no wounds on the hands where the spirochete can penetrate.
“Uh,” Prokofiev waved her hand. I just got my nails done the day before. The wound is now near each nail ...
“Well, take a poke, just in case. Nothing terrible has happened...
- Yes, you understand: I'm in the second month. I have five weeks. So I will not inject any bicillin.
Chilikov was surprised.
“This antibiotic is not terrible for an unborn child,” he objected uncertainly. - The drug does not cross the placental barrier ...
- I still won't! The gestation period is short, any medicine is only harmful ... A freak will be born - who is to blame later?
And again in tears.
Chilikov ran for water. And Olga called after him:
- Why water - find a better cigarette ...
Chilikov went to the young sister of the treatment room, Rimma Fedorova.
“A delicate matter, Rimchik,” he said. – We are all walking around in snot. You know why: the sifak went through our hands... So give the girl a cigarette, you need to drown out the grief...
“We’ll give it,” Rimma winked at Chilikov. - We will give it to grandfather, we will give it to everyone ...
(She did not catch the last phrase.)
- Which grandfather? the doctor was surprised. - What are you talking about?
- Not about anything, but about whom: about you, therefore. Is that what you want to smoke...
"Yeah, that's it!" Chilikov finally realized, remembering that Rimma was twice his junior.
“No, no,” he said, “not to grandfather, but to a girl: our young doctor, Olga Vladimirovna ...
- Does she smoke?
“Rarely,” Chilikov replied. - Very rarely. Only when you get syphilis...

A mother of many children was admitted to the maternity hospital. I thought labor had begun. It turned out it was too early. They put her in the ward for pregnant women - "keep the pregnancy." And the woman is not up to it: the children cannot be counted at home. She rushes home, yearns, every day she asks the attending physician, Chilikov, to write her out. And Chilikov has his own interest: he needs to examine the pregnant woman as carefully as possible. Otherwise, God forbid, something happens later ... They will certainly take off their head for the mother-heroine.
Chilikov calls the therapist Karasev.
“Look,” he says, “I have one large child in my ward. The eleventh birth is coming. Every day he asks to go home, but there is no entry in your medical history. I tell her that it’s still impossible to go home, but she has her own: I’ll leave, she says, I’ll run away. Directly out of control some!
“Well, this is not difficult to understand,” Karasev grins. - You will give birth to ten - you will also be uncontrollable!

Head of one of the departments maternity hospital gathered his subordinates (doctors, midwives, nurses) and said:
- When you go to the relatives of our patients, think what you say. And then you talk the devil knows what, and then people panic for no reason. For example, as recently as yesterday, someone went into the lobby to the husband of the puerperal Sheludyakova and said that they had a mentally handicapped child! On what basis, may I ask? And in general, what right does a nurse have to give such information to relatives of patients?
“Maybe the doctor went out into the lobby,” one of the nurses objected.
- Not! - snapped the manager. - It was the nurse! Because she literally said: "The child was born stupid." Not even "stupid" - stupid! There are no such words in the lexicon of our doctors. And I also want to ask: why did you call a completely normal cute baby an idiot? What else for amateur performance, let me know?

Once gathered surgeons from Tambov, Ryazan and Tula in the city of Podolsk, in the district hospital. These were two-month military training: the cadets wore military uniforms and studied military field surgery. And for the weekend they asked for leave: to Moscow forty minutes by train. It was allowed to leave on Saturday afternoon, and return on Monday by eight in the morning. The only condition: the cadet had to leave the address where he was going, write it down in a special (secret) notebook - "in case of general alarm."
Many cadets in Moscow had neither relatives nor acquaintances, however, even these hung out for about two days and somehow managed to find a place to sleep in the capital ... It seemed to them that it was more pleasant than toiling all weekend on a cot in the "training room" of the Podolsk hospital. In such cases, the following was written in the "secret notebook":
"Moscow. Kremlin. Red Square."
The most curious thing is that humorists easily got away with it. Probably, none of the commanders read the "secret notebook".

The doctor asked the patient about the diseases she suffered from. The answer was:
- As a child, I often broke my arms and legs and caught colds in my kidneys. And recently they cut out my appendicitis and tore out the tonsils!

When a patient or a patient is admitted to a hospital, one very peculiar document is filled in the emergency room. It's called "Inventory of things accepted for storage". Here, for example, is one of them. A narrow piece of paper, and on it:

"Things of Ivanova Maria Ivanovna. Lilac jacket, blue coat, black skirt, black halterless, white shorts with lights, black slippers."(Spelling preserved).
And then there is this entry: "We are not responsible for the safety of things". Then the date and someone's signature.

What's this? A document that is a witness to our days? Or just a portrait of a Russian woman of the post-perestroika period?..

At the appointment with a sexologist:
“Something you, Sergey Ivanovich, are sad today,” the doctor says to the patient. Do you have any sexual problems?
- No, doctor, there are no such problems, in general, but ...
- What?
- All the same, you know, I want more, more often. And better. And preferably with some new, different ...

Young man, 25 years old, epilepsy. Arriving at the call, having provided assistance, we learn a very sad story. After serving in the Navy, Alexander got a job as a master in the school, which he graduated from. Everything went well: work, wife, child. One evening, when he was approaching the entrance, a car stopped nearby. Two people came out of it, one hit Alexander on the back of the head with a bottle. Alexander fell on the curb, from which iron pins protruded. Several operations were carried out, he survived. Disability, epilepsy, progressive dementia, that's all he was left with. The wife filed for divorce, the child is sometimes brought to the father. Alexander, who did not smoke, did not drink, went in for sports, worked, taught, turned out to be needed only by his mother. Surprisingly, those two were found quickly (passersby remembered the car number). In the dark, Alexander was mistaken for a card debtor and they hurried to deal with it. One of the criminals offered any money, just to take away the application. And then, unable to bear the pangs of conscience, or perhaps realizing the futility of his further existence, he hanged himself in the cell. Alexander understands speech, tries to answer us, smiles, but here are his eyes. . . Before leaving, I met his eyes. In just cheerful eyes, there was such sadness and longing! The price of a mistake.

Sofia

We visited Sophia every day, or even twice. Exhausted by cancer, she called an ambulance to get analgesics prescribed by her therapist. Despite the physical and heartache(son is an alcoholic and a drug addict), she was always friendly with us, patiently waited, never resented. if we were gone for a long time. Arriving, we talked for a short time about life, faith (there were Orthodox books on the shelf), and the difficulties of everyday life. Short dialogue, and she wanted us to sit and talk. Of course, they remembered the disease, but I explained that there were cases of almost hopeless patients recovering, she believed and waited. And the calls were already not only during the day, but also in the evening and at night. Sofya kept the door open, she herself could not meet us in the hallway, as before, But the room was clean, neatly dressed, her head was tied with a scarf (there were chemotherapy courses), and in Sofya's eyes there was pain and patient expectation. My last call to her was almost no different from the previous ones, questions and answers, injections, wishes for recovery. But when we were getting ready, Sophia for some reason asked about my name and patronymic. Leaving, I heard: "Thank you, Anatoly Anatolyevich." It seems nothing unusual, but I was leaving for another city, and was not on the ambulance for four days. And these days, no, no, yes, I remembered Sophia and her question. When I arrived on duty, the first thing I asked my colleagues was how Sophia was doing? And I found out that I saw her in last time. Five years have passed, and I remember Sophia, and I can’t understand why, on the last day of her life, she needed to know my name?

grieving cat

We come to the challenge in Fedorovka. We approach the gate, and a gray-striped creature rushes ahead of us and brazenly crawls ahead of us into the house. A paralyzed grandmother is sitting in the room, relatives are fussing, packing things for the hospital. And on the table, next to the grandmother's chair, sits a gray cat. It was a bandit cat, local punks, a thunderstorm of dogs and chickens. A lean, torn ear, impudent green eyes. His ears are tucked up, shifting from paw to paw, hunched over and looking at the ill hostess. And he had such an expression on his face! Yes, yes, faces. Such grief and participation, an experience that we, looking at him, said: "But the cat, after all, understands everything." Relatives (grandmothers) confirmed: "The cat understands everything, loves grandmother, but he just can't speak." When the patient was carried on a stretcher to the car, the cat trudged along behind, tail and ears between his legs, and thought about how he would live for the next weeks. Everything ended well. The cat waited for the grandmother from the hospital, listens to her, nods in agreement, meows. Haven't learned to speak yet.

Lazarus

On Chaikina 43, at the entrance to the bench, a bum died. We arrived, examined the body, looked into the shopping bag (glass container and Troyar). The last person to find him alive was a gray stray cat, sitting next to the cabbage soup, but he was silent. After waiting for the police, we arrived at the substation. I am sitting, describing the body in the call card, suddenly I am announced for a call, "repeat". I take a card: “Oh, horror! Chaikina 43, on the bench is dying. I call the senior doctor: "You see, SM, this is my bum, I visited him 5 minutes ago, he could not rise, he is not Lazarus!" But the order is to go! Everything is in place: a bum, a cat, an apple in the hand of the deceased. A vigilant citizen was walking home, noticed the body, called an ambulance. Again I'm waiting for the police, I come to the substation. Repeat, what, died again?! Yes, how much can you!? In general, I described the same thing on the map three times, and the police went out for inspection seven times. The cat went crazy from such attention!

Internal organs

We come to drug addicts. One lies at the entrance on a bench. Breath through time, blue face. There are several outsiders nearby. What do we hear from them: "But here a person feels bad", "we do not know him, but he diseased heart"," he is not a drug addict, he drank beer, "etc. And threats and obscenities addressed to him, claims because of the time of arrival (to a person with an altered consciousness, a minute seems like an hour). This time they were overly aggressive. That We just didn’t hear it addressed to us! Selective swearing and a desire to deal with us. Out of the corner of my eye I notice that an OVO car is standing nearby. In it, three armed officers are watching what is happening. I come up and ask: "Why are you sitting, doing nothing? We are threatened and insulted. "In response:" What can we do? conscience and duty fought with indifference and cowardice. He will open and close the door, sit in an embrace with a machine gun, think and open and close again. internal organs"on a mission, and we returned the drug addict from the next world," outsiders "immediately remembered where he lives, took him with him. At parting, they said something incomprehensible. Either "thank you", or "we'll meet again."

Mayne Reid

Husband and wife, drunk in the company, quarreled to the nines. The wife, running home, began to "die." He rolls his eyes, groans, lies in the corridor, and zero attention to her husband's lamentations. What is done in such cases? Of course they call an ambulance. So we found a lady lying on the floor, with alcoholic amber, and a spouse who demanded revival. The woman was brought to her senses ammonia. She jumped up like a stung, obscene patter addressed to us and went into the bedroom. The theater has lost an actress! And the viewer, he's a husband, trying to understand. what happened, he asked: “Hey, doctor, what’s wrong with her?” I explain: “Solve your personal problems tomorrow, without alcohol, my wife is hysterical, we had a fight, make up.” And then such a dialogue took place between us: -I didn’t understand she is alive? -Alive, just had a little too much to drink. - Nothing will happen to her? -Everything will be OK. Will she live until morning? - He'll live. Crossing his arms, blue from the tattoos, looking at me, the husband sang: - Well, look, . . . , if with my wife. . . what happened. . . , I'm those. . . head of an atarva! - he said, and breathed vodka and anger. The prospect of decapitation did not suit me in any way. "Well, what is it, a doctor - and without a head ?! Although believe me, this also happens. Looking at the rings pricked on the fingers of Mine Reed, I delicately explained: - You know, among my patients, there are people with a criminal past. And they asked, in case of conflicts, to invite them for resolution. I'll call you now, they will come to you and you will repeat everything that they told me. Well? For the first time I saw how a drunk sobers up before my eyes! Apparently the liver increased in size, and alcohol dehydrogenase was produced by a hundred people. -Doctor, it’s not me for you! It’s her (wife), it’s her fault for everything! Sorry, it broke! No need to call anyone! In general, while we were going down and walking to the car, he trotted along and appealed to my generosity and forgiveness. I promised to think about it. . . .

Stretcher

Each of us got on street calls, heard the indignation of the crowd, reproaches, threats to call "who needs it." And when we ask for help to put the patient on a stretcher and carry him to the car, then often "sympathizers" disappear without saying "goodbye." What a street! On a call, in the apartment, I say to the patient's daughter: "Please find 3-4 men to help us carry your mother." And in response: "Where can I find men? We have been living here recently. There are only disabled people and pensioners in the entrance." I explain that together with a paramedic, a 100-kilogram grandmother cannot be taken out, and in your house there are 360 ​​apartments. "How can I ask people!?" asks the daughter. It all ended with the paramedic leaving and after 3-4 minutes (!) She returned with three Caucasians, who silently, without persuasion, helped us, and after that, they thanked us for a long time for caring for the elderly. By the way, they were not residents of this house. Just walked down the street, responded to the request. I do not remember the case that the representatives of Cf. Asia and the Caucasus refused to help! They are used to helping those in need! My fellow tribesmen are also kind people, but the phrases: "do your dog's work", "you get paid - you bear it", reproaches, insults, threats, I heard only from them.

Nitroglycerine

It is known that the road to the intensive care unit is paved with good intentions. How? Yes, very simple. It's no secret that our patients know more than the most titled doctor. And help each other with their medicines. One citizen, feeling dizzy, sat down on a bench. Good people, suspecting a heart attack (!) gave nitroglycerin. It didn't get better; on the contrary, it got worse. And then another pill, and then another. In short, by the time the ambulance arrived, the patient was unconscious, and kind people rubbed 21 nitroglycerin into her gums (!)! Thank you for not leaving me unattended.

What time is it?

Nothing foreshadowed trouble. Well, posterolateral infarction, so what? Arterial pressure is normal (although I noticed that the pulse pressure is small), the pains are stopped, everything is fine. There were even kind people, in the early summer morning, ready to help us and carry the patient on a stretcher to the car. And I, probably already for the 10th time, asked the patient if there was pain and shortness of breath, if he felt well, measured the pressure, reviewed the ECG. Something was restless to me, something kept me for those minutes in the apartment. All right, it's time. I give the command to the assistants with the stretcher to carefully transfer the patient. And he, absolutely calm, looks at relatives, friends, at me and asks: "What time is it now?" I answer: "Twenty minutes past six." something else! The patient wheezed, face, neck, upper half chest became blue. Stopping breathing, cardiac activity. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and a statement of "death in the presence of the brigade." Myocardial infarction and PE - you can't imagine a worse combination. If I had rushed with the transportation, it would have happened in the car or on the stairs. What kept? Why did he ask about time? About a month later, I'm taking another patient with a heart attack. I calmly bring to cardiology, I give it to safe hands. Marina (paramedic) says to me: "In the car, it smelled of death." She was with me on that ill-fated call. And she says that when they drove up to the hospital, the patient asked her what time it was. Remembering how the previous answer ended, Marina hid her hands in her pockets. She told the patient that she didn't wear a watch.

BUM

Homeless Korovkin (surname changed) was our regular client. As soon as he falls from hunger-cold and "Troyar" faints, passers-by immediately call an ambulance. And we take him to hospitals, where they diligently do not accept him, they find diseases that they do not treat, and simply refuse. For some reason, the "sword of Damocles" of the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "failure to provide medical care, leaving in danger" is felt only on the ambulance. Here in again, Korovkin got to the police, they called - "unconscious" (they don't know any other reason), they gave it to us. "Volodya, why don't you live at home?" - I ask. “They don’t puff me home, there are no places in the socialist community, they kicked me out of the sober house,” he answers. Well, let's go to therapy, where he was "kicked off", having discovered a fistula after a fracture mandible. With this fistula, Korovkin was taken every month. "Volodya, will you go to the ChLH?" I ask. “No, you took me that time, they didn’t take me, it took me so long to go to my place. I’d better go home.” And wandered off somewhere. For a long time he did not catch our eye. Once, while reading the chronicle of incidents around the city, a note about juvenile delinquency caught my eye. Where it was told that in one of the microdistricts, teenagers beat and set fire to a homeless person. Korovkin died in a hospital where they did not want to take him.

Football

"Remember Lena," Ambulance"Enemy number one for you" - this is how the therapist explained the meaning of working in the emergency room to an intern. If we are enemies, then who are sick? Obviously not friends. So, one uncle toiled all week from chills, coughs, weakness. I found at home ACE inhibitors, nitrates, b-blockers and took everything, according to the way the therapist once prescribed. hot bath, and coming out of it, sprawled on the floor. We arrived, examined, took an ECG. Blood pressure is reduced, bradycardia, weakened breathing. responds well to atropine. They brought him to therapy, but they don't take him there. Well, they don't take it! They show on the ECG - "heart attack", the functional diagnostician writes "it is impossible to exclude a heart attack." They don’t listen to the anamnesis at all! I stink to the senior doctor, I agree. Well kicked off - take it! In cardiology, they listened carefully, inside and out, looked at the ECG, agreed that the “effect of the first dose”, collapse, possibly pneumonia, but we can’t take it, there are no places! In the emergency room, the therapist rejoices, but how! The ambulance diagnosis was confirmed in cardiology, there is no heart attack, treat me - I don’t want to! Everything is fine, but after all the moving, loading and unloading on a stretcher, our patient. when he was taken to the department, he gave pulmonary edema at low pressure. Finished game, "footballers"!

Retribution

A young man with a dog was returning home. At my entrance I saw that two drunken subjects were urinating. The guy asked to go through, made a remark to them and naturally heard an offer to sort it out. "I don't want to fight you, and I don't advise you." - he said, and the Rottweiler growled in displeasure. Then there were threats from those two and the promise of an unenviable fate for the dog and the owner. It all ended in a fight. The dog, true to its duty, seized one of the villains in the brush with a knife, and then in the throat. By the time the police and ambulance arrived, it was all over. The one who fought the guy got off with a concussion, and the second one was a manual on the anatomy of the head and neck. There was a court. the guy was acquitted, and the dog had to be euthanized, the dog knew the taste of blood. The bastard whose throat was torn out by a dog was celebrating his release from prison. Several years ago, near the place of his death, he beat and set fire to a man who died from his injuries. Such is the terrible retribution.

Why are you saving them?

Again a challenge. again to another lover of altered consciousness. We easily and naturally return him from nirvana, and children run from the nearest sandbox to see what kind of miracle is sneezing all over the yard. Children stand and whisper. Finally the most daring. five or six years old, coming up to me. holds a plush tiger in his hands and a dialogue takes place between us: - Uncle, what about that uncle? - He's a drug addict. - How is it? - He doesn't want to live like a man, he wants to die, he injects all sorts of rubbish into his veins. Do you understand? -Yes. Why are you saving him? -That's the job. Rescue and help everyone. Clear? -Yes. What if you don't save? -If I do not save, then because of him, problems and questions may arise. Clear? -Yes. What if you save? -Yes, you see, he is already breathing. saved. Now he will go looking for a new dose, he will steal, rob, inject other boys and girls with drugs so that they also get sick. Clear? The child pressed his tiger cub to his chest, as if frightened. that he, too, could become a victim of drug addiction, said quietly: "I see," and went to his friends to share what he had heard. Suddenly he stopped, turned around, and looking into my eyes asked: "So why are you saving them ?!"

Candles

Parents who have a sick child, we tell everything, explain it more than once. They ask - we answer, we ask - they answer. There are interesting dialogues. -Age of the child? Date of Birth? - Ninety-eight. -Date in full, please. - One thousand nine hundred. . -I understand that it's not 1898! Day, month? Then examination, questioning, recommendations: - The temperature can be reduced by physical cooling, if it doesn't help, then medicines. That's when we get SARS. . . -Are you sick too? - Well, yes, it happens. -But you're a doctor! - Though I am a doctor, but also a humanoid! They don't understand how doctors get sick? - Parents, do you have any vodka? - Somewhere was, and what is needed? -Yeah, anyway. I see my parents are panicking, they are trying to figure out who and where saw vodka for the last time, and with whose help it evaporated. - Not for me, but for your child. They look at me like I'm a pest doctor. I continue to explain the methods of cooling, showing how to wipe the child. - From medicines, babies better candles. Do you have candles at home? -I have, why? I start telling a child how to insert a candle, and my parents look at me like I'm an idiot. I catch their questioning look. - Candles - not paraffin and not stearin! And rectal! Young parents are happy, they learned a lot. A little disappointed, the doctor turns out to be normal. Eh, otherwise they would have told everyone, the doctor is an idiot from the temperature - he prescribed paraffin candles, and even asked for vodka. Here they are, pests in white coats! That's probably all. Infrequently, there are comical situations on calls, this is one of the few. And then everything about the sad, but about the sad. . .
