Surgeon from God: in Hungary, a doctor sutured a wound on the heart right on the street

The chief physician of the National Institute of Oncology of Hungary, Zsolt Dubocki, saved a patient who had been stabbed in the heart by performing an unprecedented operation on the street. Hungarian media are writing about this today.

Surgeon Dubotsky "as a hobby" was on duty on an air ambulance ambulance helicopter when the brigade received a call to a 30-year-old man with a knife wound in the heart. Upon arrival at the scene, the diagnosis was clear: the patient had only a few minutes to live, and the risk of transportation to the hospital could cost the victim his life. The doctor decided to perform the operation on the spot.

He opened the chest of the wounded man right on the street in seven minutes sewed a beating heart, stabilizing the patient's condition for further treatment.

"The chief physician performed an intervention unprecedented for Hungary and rare even in Europe," the institute stressed.

Dubotsky himself explained that in the conditions of emergency care, complete sterility is not the main criterion — speed and efficiency are important.
