Chernobyl Doctor Fact Checks the HBO Series | Vanity Fair

she left he looked like someone you really know a painter or artist was doing this without any solid knowledge or experience my name is Alicia Pyrrha I was one of the first people to respond medically after the Chernobyl accident I spent less than 16 years working for the FDA to develop drugs against radiation exposure now I'm going to review clips from Chernobyl if you're serious okay let's watch this clip the boss tells one of his subordinates that if he doesn't follow his orders he'll be fired you two They didn't agree then. You don't have to work here and you won't, it won't work anywhere else ever again.

I'll make sure this clip is very realistic about 2 months after the explosion. I spent a total of approximately 30 days examining living patients. In the most contaminated areas of Ukraine we were told very strictly not to tell the population that something was wrong, our job was to tell them that everything was fine and if we said otherwise, we would lose our jobs and never get them back. In this clip, a nuclear power plant worker begins to bleed shortly after the explosion. Ah, this scene is not realistic. Irrigation will cause bleeding if the patient develops acute radiation syndrome with bone marrow failure, but this would occur in the first few weeks, never at the site. this clip the population of prebate is evacuated in buses the people were told they were only leaving for three days but they never returned not all the bosses arrived on time children and adults were all outside their houses waiting for the buses they were playing in the radioactive sand and showers of radioactive particles fell to the ground.

I heard this story from one of the mothers whose son I treated two years later for a variation of leukemia in this clip Juliana offers stable iodine to a secretary to protect her from thyroid. Anti-cancer stable iodine will prevent the thyroid from absorbing the radioactive iodine. Take one a day as long as they lose it, but make fun of it. I died. It will protect against thyroid cancer only if given at the right time. It is unclear how soon after the exposure Juliana offered the Secretary to take iodine, the maximum amount of time that potassium iodide would be effective is approximately 12 to 18 hours after exposure, the Soviet government began handling potassium iodide. potassium for children 10 days after the explosion and at that time it was a totally useless effort for people to go to the pharmacy where potassium iodine was for free sale and without knowing the dosage they had just fed their children with the pills, if the dosage or the regimen exceeds the normal, causes acute ulcers in the stomach in kyiv.

I was called to the emergency room where parents brought in children bleeding from this stomach due to an incorrect dose of potassium iodide in this clip the man is told to put on homemade armor we do this let's go up put it on your balls never go hunting no well today is your lucky day you mean that ugly Armenian and Darla's tents to do animal control animal control yes they are radioactive they have to go it is one of the most used metals which protect from radiation and wearing this local armor would help protect the animals in the local area, we are highly contaminated and no one took care of them to wash them, so there was a fear that they would spread radiation in this clip.

Juliana goes to the library and tries to obtain technical information. Yes, I need to see the following documents. They are numbered. as permission only comrade she can have that this is how the Soviet government thought less knowledge more silence and less panic my boss asked me to collect information about radiation to make a presentation in front of the medical staff at the largest hospital in Kiev just to give it to them the basic ideas about radiation and what to expect how to treat patients no one had any training in radiation either in medical school or during our careers.

I entered the National Medical Library in kyiv and looked in disbelief at the empty bookless shells. He was also a librarian. to provide me with some books or magazines about radiation and the answers were that they received an order from above to take all the books and magazines from the shelves that contain the word radiation in this clip a nurse was not a pregnant woman not to visit her husband for you, what do you say? I have a pass, we can't be here, it's not safe, I'm here to watch my husband light an easy fire, he's a Chernobyl firefighter, I know who you think you are, you can't, I have permission, I have, you can watch him for 30 minutes, not a minute more, and you cannot touch it in any way, do you understand, room 15, you are not pregnant, no, there are no people with acute radiation sickness, they are not radioactive, they are not? contagious to adults, pregnant women or children, the firefighter did not wear his contaminated clothing and showered afterward;

It would not be contagious or dangerous to anyone around it in that room within the plastic that touched it, these false beliefs had a very dangerous effect, many children were evacuated to Moscow and many families in Moscow who were offered to take in they rejected these children because they claimed that these children are contaminated or they call them dirty and they don't want them in their house in this clip the villa comforts her dying husband with serious burns, she is gone. I don't think it's realistic to have all this degree of burning, coloration and intensity all over your body.

I did not work in a burn clinic, however, my colleagues who did work at Moscone Hospital Number Six provided me with images of radiation burns and I had never seen anything like this. It sounds like someone you actually know a painter or artist who was doing this without any solid knowledge or experience. In this clip, Ileana explains what happened to Ruud Mila and her baby do you know the name Vasili in a tango he was a firefighter he died two weeks after the accident I have been investigating his widow she gave birth to a girl the baby lived four hours they said the radiation would have killed a mother but the baby absorbed it we live in a country my children have to die to save their mothers someone has to start telling the truth it is a medical fiction that fetuses can absorb radiation there is no science behind it is not my opinion, I would say There is no science behind saying something very inaccurate that the fetus would absorb the radiation and die but it protects its mother, but you know theirs.

Your watch, those who were watching this clip, believed that my colleagues called me asking me if this was true because it was not very convincing, but it was there, it was emotional and dramatic and what people felt was ironic to me the next statement that came from Oriana was that we need to tell the truth this is a postscript from the

series

the number of 93,000 is very inflated it is difficult to make a direct comparison between the race of cancer before and after Chernobyl, the diagnosis is much better, people undergo screening tests, which was not a case before, so to have a correct and statistically significant number, it is necessary to carry out large epidemiological studies and evaluate them properly, sometimes it is important to obtain the correct medical data, we cannot undo the past , but we can learn from the past and, if a nuclear accident ever occurs, our response to people in contaminated areas must be based on science, not fear.
