The host of the project was Valentina Khamaiko, and one of the heroines was the famous Ukrainian actress Ekaterina Tyshkevich.

In December 2023, the actress was in intensive care with a diagnosis of sepsis.. Doctors fought for her life for more than a week. The infection turned out to be extremely aggressive, spreading quickly, leading to organ failure. She was put into medicated sleep, and doctors prepared for emergency surgery.. Because the arm was swollen due to an unknown infection, the family signed a consent form for possible amputation. “The doctor explained that if they find something, they will remove everything to healthy tissue. If they need to amputate to the shoulder, they will do so.. I understood this and signed it, because we simply had no other chances,” shared the actress’s mother Natalya.
Catherine’s husband and mother hoped for the best, and the doctors began a complex operation. All this time, the actress’s mother was in a cafe near the hospital and was waiting for the doctors to call. Soon the doctor called and said that the arm had been saved and the swelling would gradually subside. After the operation, the actress began to recover. When Ekaterina Tyshkevich came to her senses, she saw that her relatives were next to her. “I remember opening my eyes and immediately seeing Valik, my husband, sitting on a chair. He immediately took my hand and began to say: “You can handle it, I know that you are scared and confused, but everything will be fine, I’m here.”.
I felt from the looks of the doctors and parents that they had experienced sheer horror,” the actress recalled.

Her story is an example of absolute trust between the patient and the doctors, which helped to save a life.
