Russian Holidays - Day of Emergency Medical Services Workers

Ambulance Workers Day - April 28 Physician is one of the most responsible and sought-after professions in modern society Every year, the demand for quality medical services is increasing, and the main reason for this is environmental pollution and deteriorating food quality Fortunately, in every country there are volunteers who want to work for the benefit of society Emperor Peter I is the very person thanks to whom the term “medicine” appeared in Russia, and in educational institutions they began to study neurology, pharmacology, anatomy and other very important sciences The first ambulance appeared in Russia on April 28, 1898, which is why the day of emergency medical workers is celebrated on this day The above-mentioned date is famous for the fact that the first pair of ambulances appeared on the streets of Moscow, which were assigned to the Sretensky and Sushchevsky police houses The year 1898 became entrenched in Russian history thanks to the merchant Anna Ivanovna Kuznetsova, who decided to become an ambulance sponsor at the initial stage At first, emergency personnel could only do anything on the streets, while calling an ambulance home was impossible The reason is simple and banal - the minimum number of carriages Each of the above-mentioned police houses was equipped with a specialized room, where doctors were on duty for days, after which they were replaced by other specialists At that time, calling a carriage with help was not as easy as it is now The only thing is that calling for medical help, just like now, was carried out by telephone, but this also has its own nuances Since there were very few telephones, law enforcement officers had to enter into an agreement with their owners Only officials, who then included policemen, watchmen and janitors, could make a call All calls were noted in a log, which indicated the time, passport details of the patient and the type of assistance that was provided Each person in an ambulance has certain duties that he must perform perfectly Many people believe that when calling, responsibility falls only on the chief physician In fact, every person who goes to a sick patient in a company car plays a very important role, especially when it comes to severe cases The doctor must not only show his skills in providing emergency care, but also support the patient psychologically A paramedic is necessary not only to be present, but also to assist the doctor in any unforeseen situation An ambulance driver is also very important because only in such a position sometimes you have to put the entire staff at risk, including yourself Every year, government agencies reward the best employees who receive not only words of gratitude, but also quite good gifts Many groups get together and celebrate Ambulance Worker Day together Those who love a quiet family atmosphere prefer to celebrate April 28 at home with a delicious dinner with family and friends Everyone knows that all people associated with medicine celebrate their holiday - Medical Worker's Day in June Despite this, we should not forget about the holiday of ambulance workers, who save more and more people every day
