We live in the present time and quickly forget what and how it was literally 10 years ago. But doctors remember. And the dashing 90s, when you could come to a patient on call and... fry him eggs while the IV drips. And the harsh 2000s, in which it was almost impossible to transfer a patient from a regional hospital to a capital one, which often ended in tragedy. And a funny recent past, when doctors, instead of cognac and sweets, suddenly began to be given very unusual souvenirs, such as brains. The new book by Father Theodorit, and part-time emergency doctor Sergei Senchukov, will again immerse you in the world when Covid was not yet heard of, and will make you smile, shudder, and somewhere be horrified by what happened before.
