let's go beyond the invisible ridge,

Biography of Doctor Lisa (Glinka)

Elizaveta Glinka, known to many Russians as Doctor Lisa, is a doctor, public figure, human rights activist and philanthropist, whom a huge number of people perceived as nothing less than an angel of mercy. And indeed, the entire biography of Doctor Lisa is life saving story or at least attempts to make them more portable. But there were also those who more than sharply criticized Doctor Lisa and her methods.

Immediately after receiving her first medical education, Elizaveta Glinka followed her husband and moved to live in the USA. There she mastered a second specialization, which gave her start charitable activities : « palliative medicine" That is, caring for those whose condition cannot really be improved. She worked in hospices in Moscow and Kyiv, and then organized her own charitable foundation to help the hopelessly ill.

Gradually, Glinka’s sphere of activity expanded: Doctor Lisa Foundation arranged a giveaway free food and heating points for the homeless, provided medical care to the poor, and held fundraising events for victims of natural disasters.

Doctor Lisa transports children from Donetsk in 2014.

Stormy criticism of Elizaveta Glinka sounded during the armed conflict that flared up in Ukraine in 2014. Dr. Lisa clearly formulated her position: to help those who need it, regardless of any political reasons and circumstances. Through her efforts, supplies of humanitarian and medical supplies to both sides were established, and dozens of seriously ill children were removed from dangerous territory.

Glinka was reproached for being indiscriminate, for helping the “wrong” people herself. accepts help from dubious sources. To this, Doctor Lisa could only answer one thing: I will do good to the best of my ability and in all available ways. Moreover, Elizabeth was sure that, by helping to correct evil, she was, in a sense, disrupting the given world order, the natural course of things, and therefore had to pay for it. AND she was ready to pay: to hear accusations and curses addressed to her - but to continue the work by which she lived. After the conflict in Ukraine, the war in Syria began, and Doctor Lisa repeatedly flew there on humanitarian missions.

Elizaveta Glinka died tragically - like the other 91 people on board the victim Tu-154 plane crash, heading to Syria. Doctor Lisa was bringing a batch of medicines there.

Testaments

“Helping specific people in distress, regardless of their beliefs, regardless of their political affiliation, regardless of whether they are criminals or not, regardless of anything, simply because they are PEOPLE, is the task of a charitable organization.”

"I don't do any political career. I am outside politics, I am not a member of any party... My foundation is ready to accept help from everyone who can and wants to provide it. If my critics want to give it to me, I will be glad. But for now, instead of these morally impeccable people, flawed ones are helping me... And I am sincerely grateful to them.”

“...I was taught that charity must first of all be effective. Therefore, if I set a task to save children, I use all means and possibilities, create an algorithm and solve it. And if you have to risk your life to save children, I’m ready for it.”

“We are never sure that we will come back alive, because war is hell on earth, and I know what I’m talking about. But we are confident that kindness, compassion and mercy work stronger than any weapon.”

Condolences

“It’s terrible and difficult that such energetic and bright people are taken away from us. After this, such a big gap remains... And so many abandoned, disadvantaged people to whom she gave care, participation and hope.”
Ekaterina Chistyakova, director of the Gift of Life charity foundation

“I don’t know how to convey the depth of my compassion to the families of the victims. There are no words except those that have long set the teeth on edge. And no words can calm such grief. Sometimes they say that no people are irreplaceable. It is not true. Every person is irreplaceable. And even more so for someone like Elizaveta Glinka. Without it, Russia became poorer.”
Vladimir Pozner, journalist and TV presenter

“She was ready to pay with her life for what she thought was right. And she paid. All disputes are in the past. Everlasting memory!"
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, politician

Elizaveta Petrovna Glinka is a doctor, a specialist in the field of palliative medicine, the creator and director of the first free Ukrainian hospice, opened on September 5, 2001 in Kyiv. About 15 patients are inpatients there, in addition, the “Care for the Sick at Home” program covers more than 100 more people. In addition to Ukraine, Elizaveta Glinka oversees hospice work in Moscow and Serbia.

In all the photographs, next to the patients, she has a lively smile and shining eyes. How can a person let hundreds of people pass through his heart, bury them - and not become bitter, not become covered with a crust of indifference, and not become infected with the professional cynicism of doctors? But she has had a huge deal on her shoulders for five years now - a free hospice (“you can’t charge money for it!”).

Dr. Lisa, her staff and volunteers have a motto: hospice is a place to live. And a full life, good quality. Even if the clock counts. Here good conditions, tasty food, quality medicines. “Everyone who has visited us says: how good it is here! Like at home! I want to live here!”

Readers of our site have long been familiar with her amazing stories - short sketches from the life of a hospice. It would seem - a few lines plain text, but for some reason the whole worldview changed, everything became different...

Now Elizaveta Petrovna herself really needs help. For several months, Dr. Lisa has been living in Moscow: here in the hospital her mother, Galina Ivanovna, is seriously ill, and has been in the Burdenko neuroreanimation department for several months. She is in a 4th degree coma. With the slightest movement (turning over on her back, for example), her blood pressure rises to critical, which, if diagnosed, could mean the highest risk of death.

But Dr. Lisa was unable to stop being a doctor for these few months: at the hospital she helps many other people: with recommendations on finding funds for treatment, and most importantly, with advice and information about what treatment, according to the law, should be provided free of charge. The management of the clinic asked Elizaveta Petrovna to find another clinic for her mother within a week, despite the fact that Galina Ivanovna’s stay in the hospital would be fully paid for. However, in its current state, transportation is impossible; it would mean death.

Here is an excerpt from Elizaveta Petrovna’s letter to the director of the hospital: “Mom is being observed in the department by the attending physician, who is well aware of the peculiarities of the course of her disease since the second operation. Care is provided by highly qualified nurses on a paid basis, the nurses perfectly perform everything related to the implementation of appointments.

This will prolong her life. Not for long, as I am aware of the lesions and consequences of her disease. In my opinion, transporting such a patient to a new medical institution can significantly worsen the already difficult situation. In addition to the medical aspect, there is an ethical aspect. Mom wanted to be buried in Russia in Moscow.

Personally, as a colleague and as a human being, I ask you to enter into my situation, leaving my mother in the hospital in which she was operated on and is being treated by knowledgeable doctors - those whom I trust.”

Dear readers, we ask for your deepest prayers for a successful resolution of the current situation!

Transcript of the program “Guest”Thomas "" which was recently broadcast on the radio "Radonezh “, prepared by the website “Mercy”.

- Hello, Dear friends. Today we have an amazing guest. This fragile, wonderful woman's name is Elizaveta Glinka. She is a palliative medicine doctor. Hello, Elizaveta!

- Hello!

– We learned about you from LiveJournal, where your name is “Doctor Lisa”. Why?

- Because I never had information platform, and one former patient and close friend of mine suggested that I start a live journal. And since it was a little difficult for me to open it and there was little time, I actually received this magazine as a gift. And “Doctor Lisa” is the so-called nickname that my friend gave me. And since then, I’ve had this magazine for a year and a half - and now everyone calls me “Doctor Lisa.”

– Why did you suddenly decide to connect your life with medicine?

– Because I wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. Even when I was a little girl, I always knew - not that I wanted, but I always knew that I would be a doctor.

– Nevertheless, there are still different directions in medicine. And what you do is perhaps one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult, because working in a hospice, working with patients who may have no chance of later life– this is probably one of the hardest jobs?

– You know, it is always very difficult for me to answer such a question, because when you work in your place, your work does not seem to you the hardest. I love my job very much, and, for example, it seems to me that the hardest work is as a cardiac surgeon or psychiatrist. Or, if we don’t touch on medicine, from sellers who deal with big amount people with different characters.

– Why did you decide to do this? There are many different profiles in medicine - and you came to oncology...

– First I came to intensive care and autophysiology, and then life turned out so that I had to move from Russia to another country, where my husband took me to get acquainted with the hospice - and I saw what it looks like abroad. And, in fact, what I saw completely changed my life. And I set my goal to have the same departments in my country where people can die free and with dignity; I really wanted hospices to become available to all segments of the population. The hospital I did is in Kyiv, Ukraine - and in Moscow I I cooperate with the First Moscow Hospice, which was built fourteen years ago - and now we have been close friends for fourteen years with its founder, chief physician Vera Millionshchikova, quite well known here in medical circles.

The first hospice in Russia was built in the city of St. Petersburg, in the village of Lakhta Leningrad region four years earlier than the first Moscow one. That is, I knew that the beginnings of the hospice movement in Russia already existed, that is, the movement had already begun. And to say that I started from scratch is not true. There were developments - but for example, when we met the employees of the First Moscow Hospice, there was a mobile service and a hospital was just being organized.

And four years later, my life turned out in such a way that I was forced to leave for Ukraine, where my husband got a job under a contract with a foreign company for two years - and thus I ended up in Kyiv. This is where I discovered that, probably, my volunteer activities and the help of the First Moscow Hospice would have to be expanded in the sense that in Ukraine there was no place at all where doomed dying cancer patients were placed. That is, these patients were sent home to die, and if they were very lucky, they were left in multi-bed wards and hospitals in very poor conditions. And don’t forget that this was six years ago, that is, the economic situation was simply terrible after the collapse Soviet Union– and these patients were literally in terrifying situations.

– Due to your profession and due to the characteristics of those people who are your patients, your patients and simply the people you help, you are faced with death every day. In principle, such questions of life and death, when a person first encounters them, as a rule, radically change his outlook on life. There are many such examples that can be given - from life, from literature, from cinema, etc. How does a person who faces such problems every day feel?

- Difficult question. Well, you see, on the one hand, this is my job, which I want to do well. And I probably feel the same thing that any person feels, because, of course, I feel very sorry for the patients who pass away from life, and even more I feel sorry for the patients who pass away in conditions of poverty. It is very painful to look at those patients who have a pronounced so-called pain syndrome - that is, those symptoms that, unfortunately, sometimes accompany the process of dying from cancer. But on the other hand, I must not forget that I am a professional, that this is my job, and I try, when going beyond the hospice, not to endure these experiences, not to bring them, for example, into my family and not to bring it’s in the company of people I communicate with, you know?

Because anyway, due to the circumstances in which I work, many, if I name my place of work and say what I do, expect to see some kind of guilty look, some kind of humiliation in the conversation - do you understand? I want to say that those who work with the dying are the same ordinary people, like us, and I want to add that dying people are also the same as us, they talk a lot about this and write a lot. But it seems to me that no one can hear and understand that the difference between that person who will die soon and me and you, for example, is that there the individual knows that he has very little time left to live - but you and I simply do not we know when and at what minute this will happen. And that's the only difference, you know?

Well, the fact that this happens often before our eyes is a specificity of the profession, I guess I’m just used to it. But this does not mean that my staff - for example, in the hospice - do not cry and do not worry. And in general, people in Ukraine are very emotional - much more emotional than people in Moscow, although I am a Muscovite by birth and by character. But I see that, of course, the staff is worried and crying - but with experience, something like this is developed... not that they become colder, but we just understand... Someone understands that they know something about life another, someone simply understands that they just need to pull themselves together in order to help the next patient. That's how we cope.

– Are there many people who believe that there is something else behind this life?
– I think that out of ten patients, seven will hope for something else beyond, and probably three patients who say - I don’t know if they really think so, but they tell me that there Nothing will happen. Two will strongly doubt, and one will be absolutely sure that there there is nothing, and this earthly life will end - and there that's all, there- empty.

– Do you somehow try to talk to people about these topics?
– Only if the patient himself wants it. Since a hospice is still a secular institution, I must, must respect the interests of the patient. And if this Orthodox Christian, and he wants to talk about it - I’ll bring him a priest, if he’s a Catholic, then he’ll get a priest, if he’s a Jew, then we’ll bring him a rabbi. I’m not a priest, you see, so yes, I will listen and I can tell him what I believe and what I don’t believe.

And there are patients with whom I do not advertise my Orthodoxy and simply level the conversation, because some patients do not accept the Orthodox faith - that is their point of view. In Ukraine there is now a wave of sick people who have joined the Jehovah’s Witnesses sect. And they are really being robbed: just recently a woman died - I wrote about her, Tanya - who, before entering the hospice, where these “brothers” and “sisters” brought her... The first question they asked when they entered: “Where can we sign power of attorney for retirement, who will do this for us?” I say: “Who is this “brother”? Which?" "In Christ!" That is, Tanya was a single woman who was in exile in Magadan for twenty years. And when she returned to Kyiv, they saw this unhappy, sick, lonely woman and “joined” her into the sect... And you know that such patients are weak, very subject to some kind of influence...

And our second conversation was about the fact that they had drawn up a will, according to which Tanya gave them all the real estate. And since this was the desire of this patient... Inside I understand that this is not very nice in relation to this woman, it is unfair, but her desire... She really waited - they came once a day, for five minutes, talking about what they love her, and she said: “Elizaveta Petrovna, my brothers and sisters came to me, look how they love me - they are our God Jehovah!..”. Here. And I couldn’t tell her that “you have the wrong religion,” because she had no one at all. And this is what she clung to two weeks before her death - I have no right to tear off this last attachment of hers in life, so sometimes I just don’t talk about this topic.

– You mentioned that you wrote about this woman, about Tanya. You already said - you are just known as a wonderful author of prose works, short stories - and behind each of them there is human destiny. There is an opinion that a writer is not one who can write, but one who cannot help but write. Why are you writing?

– I absolutely disagree with being called a writer, because a writer is probably the one who received special education or more well read than me. Indeed, I don’t want to show off. In general, the first story... well, not even a story - it’s really my diary. For me - it was a complete surprise when I published it - I had twenty friends there with whom we exchanged: where I was going, what diapers I was buying, something else - that is, purely hospice friends who knew a little bit what was in my life happens...

And then I met one family, the family was Jewish - in my hospice - and they were so different from ours Orthodox image life that I began my short observation - and shared a short story of this family. And the next day, opening the mail, I was completely shocked by the flurry of responses - it was a complete surprise! But, since purely physically I don’t have time to write large diaries, and I’ll even honestly say that I’m not very interested in the opinion of those who read me, I’m interested in what they themselves... I want them to hear, because, as a rule, I have No happy stories with happy endings - that is, I write destinies that touched me in one way or another.

– Were there any responses that you especially remember?
– What surprised me is the number of people who experience this pain every day from the loss of cancer patients – this is the most a large number of there were responses. Again, through the publication of these stories, I probably received about forty-three responses from patients who sought help. That is, this has now become such a platform - for example, now we are literally virtually consulting a woman from Krasnodar region... From Ukhta, from regions of Russia, from Odessa - where hospices are inaccessible - but they read that there is a place where these patients can somehow be helped - and so they write...

I was shocked by the absence, the information vacuum, which concerns the process of dying of patients - that it is possible to alleviate the symptoms, that there are drugs that somehow alleviate them... What surprised me from the responses - many were sure that the services of such a hospice - at the level of services provided at the First Moscow Hospice - paid. And it is very difficult to dissuade them... And, probably, this is my favorite credo, that hospices should be free and accessible to absolutely all segments of the population. I don’t care what kind of patient I have - a deputy, a businessman, a homeless person or a person on parole. And the selection criteria for admission to hospice both in Russia and Ukraine - in addition to those that the City Health Department requires of me - are fatal diseases with a life prognosis of six months or less.

– Please tell me, do you learn anything from your patients?

- Yes. Actually, this is a school of life. I learn from them not every day, but every minute. You can learn patience from almost every patient. They are all different, but there are those who endure what happened to them in life so patiently and with such dignity that I am sometimes very surprised. I am learning wisdom... It seems to me that Shakespeare wrote - I can’t vouch for the literalness of the quote, but approximately the following words: “those who die are stunning with their harmony, because they have the wisdom of life.” And this is really so, literally... You know, they still have little strength to speak, so they, apparently, think through some phrases and sometimes say things that, for how many years I’ve been working, shock me so deeply that yes, I really I learn from them.

And through some patients, I sometimes learn what not to do, because how you live is how you die, and indeed, not all patients are angels. For some reason, many people, reading my live journal, say: “Where do you find such amazing people?” Do you understand? No, they are not amazing - that is, I am saying that there are capricious requests - well, and cold, calculating people. And when I looked at how they passed away, and how the family was destroyed - or, on the contrary, how the family reacted, for myself personally, I probably came to the conclusion that, God willing, I would probably never do in my life. Therefore, we learn good things, we learn from mistakes, because it all happens before our eyes.

I have an amazing priest dying at the moment - the first Orthodox priest who is dying in my ward, today he turned sixty years old, they called him... And I’ll tell you: the thread was carried out in fifteen days, I went into the ward five times to communicate. And from him I probably learned more than from all my patients... And journalists recently came to my hospital and counted - 2,356 patients passed through my hands - and from one I received what in fourteen years of work I had not received from the rest... So I asked - father - what is humility? And he has been a priest for thirty-three years - can you imagine? And hereditary - his father was a priest, and his son is now a priest. He's an amazing, amazing person. And he says: the greatest humility is not to offend those who are weaker than you.
I tell him that this is the most difficult thing in life - not to offend those who are weaker than you, not to shout... And we don’t notice these little things. That is, it could not be some kind of dialogue, but he simply says things that make you think: how did I not understand this, and how did I not know this? This is our father...

– Kudos to you for what you do and thank you very much for taking the time to have this conversation!
- God bless...
