Mercy Medical Center surgical oncologist, Vadim Gushchin, MD, was invited to Ukraine in 2012 before the war and met with leaders in Lugansk to discuss an American-led hospital there. He formed a bond with his Ukrainian counterparts. Gushchin said the Ukrainian doctors texted him when the invasion started. Patients and healthcare workers sheltered in hospital basements. Oncologists began to map out what procedures they could and couldn’t do.

Roads were blocked and infrastructure was broken, so, chemotherapy and radiation supplies became a deep concern. Some patients were evacuated.

Garland is asked to probe threats to children’s hospitalsThe American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association want the U.S. attorney general to investigate and prosecute people making threats to children's hospitals that provide gender-affirming care. what do they consider a threat? does that also apply to democrat politicians who make threats? Imagine thinking that children understand their sexuality enough to make life altering and irreversible decisions regarding 'gender-affirming care'.
