I sewed up vaginal tears with veterinary needle and capron for sails: Story of gynecologist from Izyum

I’ve been working as a doctor in the Izyum Maternity Hospital all my life. During the occupation, I was the only one of the eleven gynecologists in the town. Another female doctor, who did not leave, was killed during the aerial bombardment of a five-story building on Pershotravneva Street in early March. In April, a Russian with a call sign "Sherkhan", I think he is a FSB agent, was instructed to create "some kind of medicine" on our bank of the town. Then I was called to work at the clinic. I didn't want to go but I couldn't refuse. I understood that I was the only one, and people needed help.
