Another meeting with the team of the Rehabilitation Medicine Center of the Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital named after M.V. Sklifosovsky.
In the morning there are many patients in the hall on the exercise machines with their medical assistants.
Yulia Drozd, a physiotherapist at the center, helps a patient do exercises with her left arm. A few questions to the patient about what brought him to the hospital.
- Good morning! My name is Mikhail Nikolayevich, I am 75 years old.
In November last year, I felt weakness in the left side of my body, and I became dizzy and fainted. I was admitted to a hospital in the cardiology department, where I was diagnosed with hemiplegia on the left side. And then I went to the rehabilitation department.
This is the second time I have been treated in this department. I see great positive dynamics.
I started to walk independently with the help of a stick and the sensitivity of my left arm returned.
I really like this department, both the treatment and the care of the patients. I am very grateful to my rescuers.
- I thank the staff of the Center of rehabilitation medicine for their effective work, for the restored health of Ukrainians and wish them new successes and achievements! And I wish all patients of the center a quick recovery!
