I still do not know why but this expe­ri­ence was def­i­nite­ly giv­en to me for a reason.
For your infor­ma­tion, every­thing is fine with me, my col­leagues even notice a refreshed complexion.

This, appar­ent­ly, from a two-week hos­pi­tal regime, four days of which turned into total hunger.
But there is somey­thing else I want to share … Here it is a com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent life, flow­ing accord­ing to its own laws. There are 5–6 oper­a­tions per day here, when the norm is 3. The con­vey­or does work here but at the same time as much care and atten­tion is paid to each patient as you will nev­er get at home. And not every com­mer­cial clin­ic can boast. These peo­ple, sur­geons are young and very tal­ent­ed, dai­ly, every hour, do their most dif­fi­cult work and at the same time do not for­get to remain peo­ple not only with gold­en hands but also open hearts full of sen­si­tiv­i­ty, kind­ness and atten­tion to your every sneeze, doubt and ques­tion. .. Yes, this is a com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent world. Of course, I would not wish any­one to get here with some bad diag­no­sis but being here for some rea­son you gain opti­mism and belief that every­thing will be fine, you are in safe hands. It’s the way it is here. And, of course, the atmos­phere is easy and human. And the rela­tion­ship between peo­ple is the same. And a 77-year-old senior man in next ward, who was recov­eing from a very com­pli­cat­ed oper­a­tion and cheer­ful room­mate Sil­via Andreev­na, whose name on the bed sign could not leave any­one indif­fer­ent to her fate and the sweet­est house­keep­ing nurse, who ran in from time to time “just to chat” — they all became almost like rel­a­tives, there were no more «friend or foe» bound­aries. And I would nev­er have thought before that I would be dis­charged from the hos­pi­tal walls with tears of bit­ter­ness from part­ing… Yes, this is def­i­nite­ly a dif­fer­ent world in which I, it seems to me, turned out to be a ran­dom passer­by. After all, my, far from the most urgent case from the bor­der cat­e­go­ry AI, was tak­en up, although I could have been sent back home, giv­ing pref­er­ence to more com­pli­cat­ed patients. Appar­ent­ly, it was real­ly nec­es­sary to pause, exhale, rethink, refo­cus and move on with this new knowledge.
Thank you Ilya Chernikovsky and Dmit­ry Korobkov for WHAT you do and HOW you do it. You are wonderful!
