Turkulov: Unfortunately, the injured are not better
The director of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina, Vesna Turkulov, told TV Prva this morning that the three injured are still in serious condition and that they are young people.
"They are still in danger. These are serious injuries, like from an earthquake, with bruises, which is logical because people are pressed by a heavy load," Turkulov told TV Prva.
They are two girls aged 23 and 24 and one 18-year-old boy.
"They are not better, unfortunately. The teams work 24 hours a day and are constantly monitored, but unfortunately there is no progress," she said.
The Book of Mourning will be placed in the Assembly of the City of Novi Sad from 11 a.m.
From 11 a.m., in the hall of the City Assembly in Novi Sad, a Book of Mourning will be placed on the occasion of the tragic event at the Railway Station in which 14 people lost their lives on Friday.
Residents of Novi Sad can register in the Book of Mourning at 2 Žarka Zrenjanina Street, starting today.
All citizens who wish to express their condolences to the families of the deceased can do so by writing in the book, the City Assembly announced.
The Assembly of the City of Novi Sad is open every day until 3 p.m.
Nikolić: We wanted to amputate a girl's arm
Dr Dragan Nikolić, manager of the Emergency Center of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina, pointed out that a multidisciplinary team is present to take care of their recovery for the three patients who were pulled alive from the ruins at the Novi Sad Railway Station, but that their lives are still in danger.
"The multidisciplinary team is constantly present. Unfortunately, I would like them to be better, but their lives are in danger. The treatment is intensive, we are monitoring them, putting in all human effort and hoping for a good outcome," says Dr. Dragan Nikolić.
He points out that in terms of organization, everything was exceptional.
"We had exceptional and timely information about what was happening on the field. At one point, a river of people from KC Vojvodina came to the Emergency Center. We didn't say anything, I knew that I had a huge number of people at my disposal. We knew what was happening at every moment. These three young people are alive thanks to good organization," says Nikolić.
We haven't seen such injuries since the war, the doctor points out.
"We are always prepared for the worst case scenario, to apply all our knowledge to save people. We received information that the people on the ground had reached a young woman, that there was a great burden on the hand, and I immediately made the decision to do the amputation on the spot to save the woman. I had a great team of people with me who were ready to go without asking if their lives might be in danger if they went there. They asked me how we were going to amputate the arm, I said that we have to do it, even under local anesthesia. The people on the ground managed to free that arm and we immediately went to the operating room with the girl," says Dr. Nikolić.
He notes that doctors always expect the worst, but that he sincerely hopes that with such a good team, these rescued people will be fine.
"We only realized what happened in the morning. The hardest thing is when we find out that something is not going right. We all have a huge desire for it to be good. The most important thing is to invest the knowledge we have saved for such things. For us, this is a big challenge to save these people. Prognostically, these people might not survive, but with this kind of effort, I hope for a good outcome, regardless of the prognosis," says Dr. Nikolić.
He points out that, in addition to medical skills, humanity is also very important in these moments, which doctors show, says Dr. Nikolić.
"The parents of one of the patients do not leave the Emergency Center. The nurse called me to tell me that the father of one of the patients does not leave her for 24 hours, I asked her if anything was prepared for him, she told me that it was and that she refused to eat. We all came down to talk to him, to share in his suffering. We need humanity. It has to be combined into reality. And we all have to feel empathy, we all have to participate in it. If that's the case, then it will be easier for those people and it will be easier for all of us," said Dr. Nikolić for RTS.
