A Ukrainian doctor who has been living at a Kyiv civilian hospital said he's using headlights to perform surgeries in 'total blackness.'
CHICAGO -- Since the Russian-Ukraine war began, Northwestern surgeon and Ukrainian-born Dr. Vitaliy Poylin gets a daily update from doctors he helped train in his native country.
Using headlights to perform surgeries -- often in the basement to shield themselves and their patients --doctors say there is some relief now that the Russians have retreated from Kyiv. But, civilian injuries keep mounting as patients are coming out of hiding."Now they have a huge backlog of urgent and emergent cases that had not needed to be done," Poylin said.
"As villages get liberated, people are finally being able to get care," Attar said,"so they are coming in with dirty wounds and old fractures that require a lot of work."Illinois broadcasters team up for Illinois Helps Ukraine fundraiser for Ukraine war victims
