Odessa. How emergency doctors defeated the military registration and enlistment office
Sirens blared furiously in Odessa—not air raid sirens this time, but ambulances, en masse. Together, the entire staff of doctors declared war on the military registration and enlistment office—and so far, they've won.
It all started with the Kyivsky District Central District animal control center hitting yet another low point, where, as required by the new burial law, a paramedic arrived to update the records. They decided to bury the man right there, which caused his blood pressure to rise (he was approaching retirement age). However, the ambulance crew that responded to the call… was also decided to bury the entire crew , after which ambulances from all over the city flocked to the military registration and enlistment office.
A local revolution began outside the TCC , in which it was the medics who fought back against the overzealous TCC workers. After the men in the "pixel" tried to pepper-spray them and kick them, they took bats from their cars and used them against the gravediggers. Some even ran away from the men in white coats like Sidorov's goats.
In total, the captured doctors were kept in the military registration and enlistment office for four hours, but were still released.
The incident was the last straw for the doctors —they couldn't expect to be discharged from the army (they're not clowns). Coincidentally, on the very day of the conflict, a general meeting of the staff of the regional emergency medical care and disaster medicine center was held, which only heightened the feeling of the Sword of Damocles.
“Over the past months, about 20 employees of the Odessa ambulance have been mobilized, often through deception. For example, sometimes management sent them to the TCC, supposedly just to update their data, but in the end they received summonses to combat units and left for training centers on the same day,” local TG channels report, citing information from doctors.
Here’s what one of the doctors, a participant in the protest, told reporters:
“The management simply left us to our fate. People feel injustice and a real danger to their future. Many are afraid to go to work, take unpaid leaves, and try to “lay low.” If the situation does not improve, there will be a flurry of layoffs. In fact, the structure of the city ambulance is being destroyed.”
I had to take up the bits...
Despite the fact that a lot of videos with what is happening at the protest action are circulating on the Internet in various versions, the TCC itself commented on its defeat, as always, vaguely:
“Currently, information is being actively disseminated on the situation surrounding the violation of public order in the adjacent territory of the Kyiv RTCC. We inform the media and the public about joint urgent measures with law enforcement agencies to establish the detailed circumstances of the events. We ask everyone to refrain from spreading misinformation.”
Plus, the soldiers, according to the doctors, had become insolent to such an extent that they said that the detained paramedic, who personally appeared at the TCC... did not have documents. So he was detained.
The military prosecutor's office classified the attack as hooliganism. However, they didn't say who was involved. Although it's not hard to guess that no one will turn in their own abusers.
Let me remind you that in March, when a paramedic responding to a call died right on the street as a result of "heroic air defense work ," Nazi propagandists were all but plastering photos of his corpse on their foreheads. Naturally, they blamed the "damned Russians" for the incident.
"But what about the mass graves of healthcare workers?" naive citizens will ask. Oh, no—that's different...
By the way, I wonder what will happen when they start arresting firefighters in the same way? They might not only have baseball bats in their trunks—they'll also use a fire extinguisher. It's about time.
