Salman Yandarov: Chechen trauma and orthopaedics specialist

摘要

No-one in their right mind would have blamed him for fleeing But as Chechnya tipped slowly into the abyss in December/1994, Salman Yandarov, the country's chief trauma and orthopaedics specialist, stayed put "When many people were already leaving Grozny, I just didn't believe there would be a war", he recalls. "And when it all started I kept thinking it will stop in an hour, another hour And then the bombing went on for a whole month Most of the doctors left There weren't any medical personnel I was known there and they asked me not to leave. How could I go in such a situation?"
