About the book: 2021 / Olga Leonardovna, an otolaryngologist of the highest category, is being “pushed” into retirement due to health care reforms. Who needs these reforms if they are of no use to patients, and even worse for doctors? Why is it being shortened? Olga did not quarrel with anyone, did not cross anyone’s path. As a girl after college, she came to Soviet healthcare, and her old nurse, former front-line soldier Faina Fedorovna, taught her how to survive in it. Faina measured her life according to the laws of war, but the young doctor did not want to know anything about the war. She wanted to heal, love, be happy, but... Is it really easy to be happy when forty-four sick people pass in front of you in a line a day, every day... And the former surgical nurse involuntarily revealed to her her little tricks, the experience of love, hatred, envy, everything that makes up human life. But did the young, talented Olga appreciate these riches? Didn't she betray both herself and her Faina Fedorovna. Contains obscene language.
