"Terrorist act survivors may be killed by journalists with their cameras"
Chief Physician of the No. 3 city hospital complains that the blast casualties suffer from too much attention from the media.
The blast casualties are under treatment in the surgery department and in the intensive care department of the No. 3 city hospital. 80% of them complain about dull hearing and headaches. However, the doctors claim their lives are out of danger now.
"The patients' physical condition has been recompensed by now, their lives are out of danger. However, unfortunately, some patients are still in the intensive care department, and their condition can be estimated as "complicated" and "of medium complexity". We are doing our best to render adequate medical care in full scope. We have all we need for this. We hope that there will be good results", — the hospital's Chief Physician Uladzimir Komar has said.
The majority of casualties have missile wounds. There are no people whose arms have been torn off in the No. 3 city hospital.
"There are mostly mine-blast traumas. Taking into consideration the fact that the incident happened in closed space, there are also barotraumas and audiotraumas. Also, penetrating wounds of chest and extremities".
It is always crowded at the floor where the blast casualities are staying. Apart from Euroradio's correspondent, there are journalists and camera crew of the TV-channels ANT, STV, Russian "First Channel". Relatives and friends also visit the casualties. The Chief Physician has told Euroradio's correspondent that there is too much attention from the media:
“The patients say: "Terrorist act survivors may be killed by the journalists with their cameras…”
Employees of the Republican Cultural and Educational Center visited the casualties on the mourning day. They brought several big packages with food.
“It was a horrible act against our peaceful people who never wished anything bad to anyone. We are here today to provide moral help for those who got in this horrible situation. We are together, we worry for them”, — a lady says.
“We have come here to help them morally so that they would know they are not alone”, — another employee of the Center adds.
