"It is my duty, the duty of a medical worker – to be where it is difficult and dangerous"
Razida Zakharova, a nurse of the emergency cardiology department with an intensive care unit, is one of those who have worked in the infectious diseases hospital for the third shift. This shift became the most difficult for the doctors - because of the heat, the glasses immediately fogged up, and the anti-plague suits stuck to the body. Patients were admitted in a serious condition, the flow increased every day, and additional beds had to be deployed in the department.
Despite all the difficulties, Razida worked three shifts, because she wanted to help patients: “They need our care and attention. And it is my duty, the duty of a medical worker, to be where it is difficult and dangerous. It's no secret that there is also a material side. Although no one knew and did not believe that those who worked in the red zone would be paid extra. "
Razida has been in medicine for 25 years. Her sister died of a medical error at the age of 15, and Razida decided to become a doctor and go to the most difficult department to save people. And so it happened. After graduating from medical school, she came to work in the cardiac intensive care unit: "And thank God, I still work there."
