It was the fourth-year student of the Dagestan medical University Haji the Shakhnazarov. The father of a young man hospitalized in a clinic in late April. Haji, without hesitation, went to work as a nurse in the “red zone” to stay with the father.
Collecting family Shahnazarova announced volunteers of Dagestan, the medical community in the region. The network has published a phone Haji. The money began to arrive from all over the country. It was a minor amount. Threw off who how many could. Phone the young man did not stop. Hundreds of strangers, friends Gardi, teachers, neighbors expressed condolences.
We’ve been trying to get in touch with Haji. The phone is not answered. Sent a TEXT message.
“Thank you for the condolences, I’m not ready to say better in a few days to call,” wrote the young man.
Now the collection of agents engaged in each of Haji, of Amirhana.
We study in the same high school, friends. Haji complete his fourth year of medical-prophylactic faculty, I fifth, – began a conversation Amigasa. – When the hospital had a shortage of personnel, medical students were conscripted to work in the hospital. Many have responded.
In late April, his father Haji was hospitalized in the city clinical hospital №1. The son, without hesitation, joined a team of volunteers. Asked to work in the “red zone.”
– Haji got a job as a nurse to be with the father. Didn’t want to leave him alone. His dad may 12, was 65 years old, he worked as an inspector in the Dagestan customs. Was going to retire – continues Amigasa.
Father Haji entered the clinic in a satisfactory condition. But gradually the disease has progressed. Man hooked up to a ventilator. He was getting better. Later he was transferred to the medical ward. A week had planned to write. Suddenly, the condition worsened.
– I asked Haji about the last conversation with my father. You know, he’s not ready to talk on this subject. It’s hard, it continues Anorgasma. – On the morning of 24 may, my father was buried. The son was released for the funeral. In the cemetery near Haji no one contact, one that does not infect. There was back in the hospital, undergoing quarantine.
Haji in the family elder. Younger sister is 16, my eldest daughter is 20, brother is 18. Soon the guy will get custody over her younger sister. The head of the hospital, where he died the father of a student, suggested Haci work.
– it struck Me that as soon as Dagestan, learned of the situation Haji, rallied the entire region. People immediately reacted to the tragedy. Connected funds, volunteers, University professors, ordinary people transferred money to the family, much as they could, and brought food. Haji told me that he is already uncomfortable to accept so many deliveries, and no place to store, asked to give out to others in need.
“Single raised four”
Eight years ago Gadi Shakhnazarov’s mother died. Oncology. Four children were raised by their father – Ibadulla. The family was assisted by an aunt of Haji’s father Khanika.
– Ibadulla is my younger brother. He us the youngest in the family. 12 he may have turned 65. I – 69, our older brother – 70. When his wife died of Ibadulla, he was left with four children. Haji at that time passed into grade 9, his sister was in the seventh, another son in 4th grade, youngest was 9 years old. Ibadulla worked over three hours in customs. In his absence, I sat with the kids, taking them to school, helped with homework, fed.
Khanika added: “All four children of Ibadulla – wonderful, no problems with them arose. The parents raised them well. And now for all of them, you can be calm.”
Since the beginning of the epidemic family Shahnazarova comply with all precautions of not out, mask, gloves worn, noisy big companies avoided.
– most Likely, Ibadulla became infected at work. He worked at the customs point on the border with Azerbaijan. The movement did not stop. Contact with people is inevitable. Yet the market went for groceries, after all four children to feed, continues Khanika.
Ibadulla was admitted to the hospital April 30. Died on may 23 at 8 PM. 24 day the man struggled with COVID-19.
– because We thought brother had neutralized the virus. He gets to the hospital, did not wait for irreversible effects. Doctors initially estimated its state as average weight, – says the interlocutor. – Spent a week in a normal office, suddenly he fell ill. Was transferred to intensive care, hooked to a ventilator.
By the time Haji was already working in “red zones”, trying to move away from his father. Don’t remember exactly how much time Ibadulla was on the ventilator, but his condition eventually improved. He was transferred to therapy. The temperature was brought down, the pressure returned to normal. The whole week we were in touch. Talked on the phone. He said cheerfully, complained only in a small shortness of breath. I remember I asked him: “Gadisku our where?”. He smiled: “Here with me”. Brother sent me a video where he drinks the tea and says on camera: “Now everything will be fine.”
8 may Khanika called up my brother last time. The next day the man became dramatically bad. He was again placed on a ventilator.
– When Ibadulla was taken to the intensive care unit, Haji was there. The father repeated: “All is well”. Before you connect it to apparatus, the son asked: “Dad, how are you?”. He blinked, gave to understand that everything is fine. And fell asleep.
Haji constantly monitor the status of the father. Asked doctors. Guy these days has not left the “red zone”.
– At some point, Haji said that the father became worse. The son ran to the intensive care unit. Ibadulla was pale. Dr. guess was a clot, says Khanika. – On the death of his brother we were told by the doctors. The nephew was unable to call us, worried that the news will kill us.
Shahnazarova live in Makhachkala since 1951. Over the years the family acquired friends and acquaintances. If not for the coronavirus, at the funeral of Ibadulla would gather hundreds of people. Now with the man forgiven only choose close.
Brother died in the evening. The same day we took the body, washed in the mosque. Home the coffin was not allowed to take. Left in the morgue. On the morning of 24 March, buried Ibadullo with my parents, – the woman tells. – On the farewell was attended by five people: two sons, two nephews and a brother. Women stayed at home. Many people wanted to say goodbye to Ibadullah, but we took sympathy on the phone. I apologize, I didn’t want to because someone is infected.
After the funeral, Haji returned to the hospital, where sit the prescribed 14-day quarantine after working in the “red zone”.
– Haji received a call from the Institute, the rector promised to transfer the guy from the commercial in the budget Department. The hospital where he worked as a volunteer, offered him a place in the hospital.
now I ask why a young man went to work in the danger zone? I’ll tell you one episode. When Haji just got in the “red zone”, Ibadulla called the teacher of his nephew: “why did You allow the boy to work in a dangerous place?” Brother said: “the Country needs help. If I could I would have gone here.” Understand that this education is.
Why Haji has decided to get into med school?
– the Older generation of our family from the village of Chokh. It is considered a village of doctors, scientists, and intellectuals. We have many distant relatives. Among them are doctors, professors and doctors of Sciences. In 1951 we moved to Makhachkala. Haji is the only younger generation of our family who decided to become a doctor. Probably ancestral genes affected.
