"I didn't even notice that I was injured in all that confusion and panic"

views: 1044

I try to forget that terrible day on 10 February 2015, when my city of Kramatorsk was shelled. In recent months, hospital wards have become our second home.

I didn't even notice that I was injured in all that confusion and panic

When the shelling started, I was on my way to the hospital for a regular check-up. People started hiding in the hospital building, and I let them all go ahead. However, I didn't have time to stop by. A tiny fragment hit my back. But doctors found it in the thigh.

I didn't even notice that I was injured in all that confusion and panic. Then I saw that blood was pouring out of me. The fragment damaged my internal organs. The surgery  lasted six hours. The doctors brought me back from the dead.
