Ukrainian army medics fight to save lives near frontline
Fox News
Army medics are fighting to save the lives near eastern Ukraine's front lines everyday. Nearly 25 patients are brought in per day to the medical outpost in Ukraine.
The costs of that deadly grind are clear to Viktor's team of seven medics and six nurses as it toils away, hemmed in by racks of medical supplies and portable heaters, at this "stabilisation point" in the Donetsk region, where battles are fierce.
"The wounded are brought here, we provide treatment, stabilise them and restore vital functions, and send (them) to the next stage of evacuation - to hospitals," said Viktor, who declined to give his full name.
Describing the feeling of being unable to save a life, Viktor, a gynaecologist before the war, said: "It's the worst thing you can imagine."
