As reported, during the most difficult days of the siege, more than 50 wounded people in need of surgical intervention were brought there within one hour. Having no power, heating and water supply, the man, together with other doctors and medical personnel, saved patients and even performed extremely complex operations while being bombed and shelled by artillery.
