Alabama surgeon Dr. John Holcomb: “There need to be some billions of nonlethal aid ... so that when the Ukrainians and the Russians get injured they can be cared for in the way we all want to care for civilian and military irrespective of who they are.”
Dr. John Holcomb along with several other doctors who traveled to Ukraine to help civilian hospitals cope with an influx of battlefield injuries.Alabama trauma surgeon Dr. John Holcomb said Wednesday that NATO countries should provide more aid to Ukrainian hospitals and doctors who are struggling with supply shortages and a flood of wounded patients.
Holcomb took the opportunity to urge leaders to provide more non-military aid to Ukraine. The armed forces took supplies of gauze and bandages to the front lines, and they have been difficult to replace due to supply chain blockages. “I think it’s an imperative,” Holcomb said. “There need to be some billions of nonlethal aid to balance out a little with the lethal so that when the Ukrainians and the Russians get injured they can be cared for in the way we all want to care for civilian and military irrespective of who they are.”
“I want you to understand that before the war, we did modern surgery,” Herych said. “We had a DaVinci robot. But the war changed everything.”“I take the most difficult patients and treat them modern, and the rest of the patients are treated like it’s 30 years ago,” Herych said. “We never had experience to have 100 patients with injuries who needed to go straight to the operating room,” he said.
