Military pilots are helped to put the right comma in the place where many used to go, fearing to be written off from flying, - at the Central Military Research Aviation Hospital.

Health is like air: you only remember its existence when you don't have enough of it. Getting sick is an unaffordable luxury these days. However, physical ailments can affect both those with thick wallets and those with the rags of a homeless person. One day, you're fine, and the next, you're ill. All you can do is rely on God and Doctors with a capital "D." This is where people like them gather at the country's main aviation hospital.

Oleg Gorbachev. It was his remarkable organizational talent, combined with the dedication and professionalism of his subordinates, that led to the creation of the Center for Medical Rehabilitation at TsVNIAG in March 1995.

It costs the state 12 to 15 million dollars to train each pilot. Rehabilitation specialists understand better than anyone else that it is more profitable to keep an aviator who has been trained for 10 to 15 years than to train a new specialist. The key is to identify the stage at which disqualification begins.

As they say in the East, a true doctor is one who foresees a disease, not one who fights its consequences. Urologists Yuri Avdeichuk and Boris Garilevich are able to do both. They are highly skilled professionals. They have participated in the development of a unique technology for remote shock wave lithotripsy in the treatment of urolithiasis. This technology allows for a gentle and painless removal of uroliths from patients' bodies. It should be noted that Russian devices for remote stone fragmentation are 2 to 3 times cheaper than their foreign counterparts, and their operation is 2 to 3 times more cost-effective. Most importantly, a higher therapeutic effect has been reliably proven.

In fact, it has long been a good tradition at the hospital to adopt the latest and most "advanced" methods of treatment. The names themselves sound like magical incantations. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, for example. In the hands of Colonel Valery Kokhan, the hospital's chief and a practicing surgeon, it looks like this.

...In the operating room, the display screen of the surgical complex naturalistically displayed jewelry touches of miracle tools to the patient's tortured entrails. And in a matter of minutes, the inflamed, stony, non-functioning gallbladder is removed through a small hole in the anterior abdominal wall. To get to the gallbladder and remove it in the traditional way, a person needs to almost "split" with a scalpel. In such a situation, the incision itself (surgical access) is more difficult for patients to tolerate than the removal of the affected organ. With this" classic " laparoscopic cholecystectomy is as different as heaven and earth. Four neat holes are made in the anterior abdominal wall, where illuminated optics and other instruments are inserted and a "working" volume of air is created. The one who reliably diagnoses treats well. The radiology center, headed by Lieutenant Colonel of the medical Service Yakov Lubashev, has become a powerful diagnostic and methodological base of the hospital in recent years.

...When you see the hospital's well-equipped rooms, cozy wards, you get acquainted with the extra-class medical staff - the head of the clinic and diagnostic department, Colonel of the medical service Viktor Okovitov, the head of the department of traditional methods of treatment, Lieutenant Colonel of the medical service Fyodor Stupin, the head of the express diagnostics department, Major of the medical service Oleg Yellow, the head of the functional diagnostics department, Colonel of the medical service Alexander Velichko, doctor-psychiatrist Major of the medical service Elena Olenicheva, otolaryngologist Svetlana Raskatova, head of the acupuncture office Gennady Shubin, head of the homeopathy and herbal medicine office Irina Makarenkova, radiologist-laboratory assistant Natalia .Borisova, nurses Anna Teplova, Natalia Sanarova, Lyubava Balidovskaya, Iraida Pershina, and other specialists from the renowned Central Research Institute of Aviation, understand why aviators are changing their attitude towards this "formidable" medical facility. They not only appreciate the potential of the medical professionals, but also see them as valuable allies in their pursuit of excellence in aviation.
