Miracles of war

چکیده
The Surgery Ward was located on the third floor, under the roof. After the first attacks by the Yugoslav Federal Army (YFA) we moved to the basement, where outpatient offices were located. We set up operating theaters in available rooms. The table for plaster application and examination table in the x-ray room served for surgery. The table moved and shifted during surgeries, and we had to hold it with the help of nurses. We considered outer walls dangerous and lowered heads when the shells fell. Later, we got used to it. The patients were accommodated in the safest place – basement corridors, two walls away from the outside. One or two patients would share a single bed, and another one would sleep on a mattress below the bed. We slept where and when we could, on a chair, in a corner. I slept with my wife in a tiny room (2 m2), previously used a change room for patients to prepare for examination. It was impossible to stretch and rats ran over us – it was so crowded that there was no place even for them. We tried to get rid of them with baits made from a mixture of flour and plaster of Paris.
