“We immediately called 18 ambulance teams and Luch (the call sign of the medical helicopter - Kommersant ), - Konstantin Rozhkov, a paramedic of the Emergency Medical Care Center team responsible for medical support for Krylyev, told Kommersant. - The doctors worked, in my opinion , very good: within 20 minutes after the emergency, all 52 wounded were evacuated (two of them, with arterial and venous bleeding, on the Luch). Everyone was given first aid on the spot, although the injuries were very severe - mine explosions. and shrapnel wounds, burns. Many were in a state of hemorrhagic shock from blood loss. I would like to especially note the work of my colleagues from the 45th Central Ambulance Substation - six doctors themselves were hit by shrapnel, but even the wounded began to provide assistance to the victims. One woman doctor, while saving others, herself lost so much blood that she is still in a state of atonic (complete immobility - Kommersant ) coma.”
