Live grenade removed from Ukrainian soldier's chest, from just below his heart
Since the explosive was live and there were chances of an explosion, the doctors operated the soldier without electrocoagulation, a procedure that uses electric current to stop blood flow during the surgery
This guy should get a legendary picture taken with his buddy, the Ghost of Kyiv.
Cool story. Totally happened.
How dare you sir. I’ll have you know that the soldier was in fact the Ghost of Kiev so how absolutely dare you sir.
I wrote that it happened and you got hostile for no reason. Are you trying to imply that this didn't happen sir?
I remember this episode of “Emergency”.
(Loved that show when I was a little kid.)
Just wanted to post one hell of a story. The kind of luck that only comes once in a lifetime.
That is a cool story.
I can only imagine how nerve-wrecking the surgery was for everyone in the room, props to the surgeons and nurses for it.
I say we buy the movie rights. I can see it now. "Most surgeons are afraid of losing a patient. But if this patient goes, everyone dies. Coming to theaters this winter it's MIRACLE IN UKRAINE. Featuring a special introduction by Ukranian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy." Question: can we get away with casting all the doctors as LGBT BIPOC?

In a world where Russian grenades are being lobbed, one man...
Post Reported for: Rule 12 - Falsehoods
We may not know if it's true (because the original source is basically just a press release), but something like this isn't impossible.
May I present to you: Specialist Channing Moss of the 10th Mountain Division, US Army who survived an exploded RPG strike to the abdomen.
I don't know if I should feel disgusted or wear that as a badge of honor.
Absolutely wild. Like, what a story, honestly.
I suppose, if true, this is the kind of story that will make it into history books, on an individual level, in 100 years time. And yeah, it probably deserves a movie (or at least part of one), too.
"The Ukrainian Patient", anyone?
Pretty amazing tale of survival, anyway! Not your day to day for the surgeons, even in a warzone, lol...
