Lost consciousness twice: a 55-year-old man in the Sumy region was admitted to intensive care after visiting the territorial recruitment center

In the Sumy region, a 55-year-old man ended up in intensive care after visiting a military enlistment office.

Ukrainian publications report this incident.

Relatives of the 55-year-old man from the city of Shostka claim that he was secretly taken from Sumy to Kharkiv, where he lost consciousness twice and ended up in intensive care.

According to the family of the victim, the man voluntarily came to undergo a medical examination.

“During the examination, an electrocardiogram was performed, revealing scars on the heart. The family doctor was called, who said that the citizen likely had a heart attack and needed to undergo an ultrasound of the heart. In the last three years, his blood pressure started to rise; he went from being hypotensive to hypertensive. In addition, he has had back problems since he was thirty. When his discs shift, his legs fail,” the wife of the 55-year-old man explained.

The man’s wife added that the family therapist recommended further examinations, but the military medical commission did not even measure his blood pressure and said that he could serve in the military.

“During the conversation with the chairman of the military medical commission, my husband asked for further examinations due to his genuinely poor health condition and the possibility of negative and unpredictable situations (because such incidents occasionally happen in civilian life due to the aforementioned problems), but he was rudely refused,” the wife said.

After that, the victim received a new summons and was supposed to go to a training center in Sumy, but he was taken to Kharkiv, where he felt unwell.

According to the family, officials from the local conscription center promised to take him to Shostka, but he was taken by bus to Honcharivske (north of Chernihiv region). Here, he lost consciousness again, and in this condition, he was taken to a hospital in Konotop, where he ended up in intensive care. According to the admissions department, he is in critical condition.

“In the hospital, he was without accompanying documents. Representatives of the Shostka territorial conscription center did not even inform the family that the man was in the intensive care unit of Konotop,” relatives said, learning about the man’s condition accidentally through acquaintances.
