The on-call ambulance of Mariupol paramedic Sergei Cornobrivets began on February 24 and lasted 22 days. It ended only in the words of the occupiers: “Tell your friends that we will shoot for the ‘fast’,” reports pravda.com.ua.
“The war started unexpectedly for me, at first I didn’t even believe it was happening. But on the second day of the full-scale war we had our first wounded. Honestly, the first time we saw the wounded, we felt like an adrenaline rush. It was a 45-year-old man. had a hand and head injury.Now judging, nothing serious.We even talked to him.He said he was just at home watching TV when his house hit. , “said Sergey.
“One day we brought the wounded to the hospital and I went out to smoke. At that moment, a civilian car drove in. The man got out of there and shouted that the wounded were in the car. He opened the trunk and I saw two boys. They were about 16 years old. One was consciously, he had several injuries to his legs and chest.The second was already unconscious.The first was quickly picked up and taken to the waiting room.The second was put on a stretcher and I immediately started resuscitation.As we drove to the “reception” I resuscitated him and at the same time shouted I have more doctors to help me because I was alone. “And my colleague said that everything was over, I continued to resuscitate … Then I went out, smoked. And we went to the calls again,” says the paramedic.
Many cases remain in his memory. There was another one, from about March 15 to 16, when the city was already at war. A man with a head injury had just called. He was near the medical point, but shots were fired in the city. Sergei put on his helmet, body armor and went.
“While we were driving, I looked to the right and saw the house, a few seconds later – and the house is gone. Then the shooting started. The driver made me decide if we were going to go after the wounded. to the hospital, “recalls Sergei.
On March 16, as they were wounded, they were stopped by the invaders.
“We stopped, raised our hands. They started asking questions, asking for documents. But they didn’t understand what was written in our passports. They didn’t even realize we were an ambulance.” However, in the end launched. We didn’t go far. At the crossroads, another monkey jumped out of the bushes, shouting that we would all be killed now. He fired into the air and began to shout “Everyone on Earth.” I thought then – is it over now? They began to ask if we were military. Once again, we had to explain that we were an “ambulance”. Then a soldier came and told me:
“I can shoot you now and I won’t have anything to do with it.” I had nothing to answer him.
Then they told us they would not let us go. “Tell your friends that we will shoot at the ‘fast,'” the occupiers said, “Sergei said with disgust.
