Pavel Vorobyov, Professor of the Moscow Medical Academy and Doctor of Medical Sciences, explained why the 2006 Olympic champion in figure skating, Roman Kostomarov, was not transferred to Germany for treatment.
“What makes you think his chances are better in Germany than in Russia? This is the stereotype that German doctors are better than ours, it has no basis.
In the state where Kostomarov is located, it was absolutely unacceptable. He was immediately connected to the ventilator and ECMO, he could not breathe, the machines breathed for him, drove the blood. In this case, they do not fly, ”quotes Vorobiev star shot.
It became clear on January 10 that the athlete was taken to the hospital. It was stated that he was taken to the intensive care unit due to pneumonia and was dependent on artificial lung ventilation, and his condition was reported to be extremely serious.
