The life of a doctor is woven from ambulance sirens, happy tears of relatives of cured patients and bitter, alas bitter tears of those whose loved ones could not be saved, sharp jokes in the resident's room, New Year's parties in the department, the medicinal smell of operating rooms and alarming resuscitation sounds. And each case, each patient leaves their trace. The author shares amazing stories in a lively language: they give warmth and hope, excite and make you think, plunge the reader into the world of surgery and reveal the details of medical everyday life.
