Surviving the Carnage: Inside a Ukrainian Clinic on the Front Line

A medical clinic near the front lines of Russia's war on Ukraine provides vital stabilization and emergency treatment for wounded soldiers and civilians caught in the conflict. The clinic's staff works tirelessly to stabilize patients and ensure they survive long enough to be transported to better-equipped hospitals. During a visit, the clinic was hit by a suspected Russian cluster bomb, resulting in a steady flow of wounded individuals. The overwhelmed clinic became a battlefield triage point, with doctors making life and death decisions about who was most likely to survive. The injuries sustained were consistent with the carnage caused by cluster bombs, and the doctor confirmed that these weapons are frequently used by the enemy. Despite the devastation, the clinic's staff remains dedicated to their mission, treating both military and civilian casualties.
