7 years ago, while on a Live Parallel expedition in East Africa, I witnessed a scene. In the middle of the Savannah, on the ground cracked by the heat of brick-red color, from which stick out, straw-yellow, as if in response to the sun killed them, rare and dry bushes with short spines, on the old, with peeling paint stool, was ... TV! But not as big as we draw imagination, and little else with a picture tube, in which the wretched plastic dirty-gray color with completely missing buttons. And this dinosaur technique, imagine, works! From him like a snake, stretching the wire, to standing nearby... the motorcycle, which is operating as a generator, provides electricity to the TV. But that's not all! Another snake-the cable is routed from the television to the nearest tree is antenna. Semicircle, about this miracle of engineering, right on the ground, on which now and then crawling scarab beetles and numerous insects, get out to the surface after sunset, sit or lie people from small to large, spellbound by the action on the screen... as you guessed it, on the screen... football!
All this is quite entertaining, but really I was surprised by one boy who was put next to the motorcycle – to pour into his tank gasoline from a plastic bottle, which he periodically did, but he, crouching, stretching on socks, occasionally jumping, trying through the live wall of his tribesmen, to see (he still could not see because of the rumbling motorcycle), but to see at least the edge of the world that shone pictures of the broadcast football match. For this boy, it was all a real embodiment of his dream of another life!
Later we may ask ourselves where we are going and why. This thought came to my mind under the sign “CANNIBALISM POLICE”… But it was too late, we had to go farther consoling ourselves with the thought that we were among the very few people in the whole world who had made some steps forward from the sign.

Достигнув очередного этапа по маршруту Перу-Боливия, экспедиция Живая Параллель, всем составом ощутила высоту 3200 метров. Лопнувшие сосуды глаз, необъяснимая усталость, повышенная утомляемость, головная боль, ломота в суставах плюс желание сжаться до размера рюкзачка, который висит на спине товарища и, спрятавшись в нём, отдаться размышлениям, а не борьбе с одышкой.
Even to the horrors of war, the doctor gets used to much faster than an ordinary person, as well as soldiers, after two or three weeks already much without noticing and assessing what is happening, as a matter of course. What can we say about the events taking place during the expedition, when the phenomenon recorded by the photo may contain a different depth of meaning, often understood only after some time. The expedition Live Parallel, organized by Professor A. G. Teslinov in Peru and Bolivia and ended 2 months ago, was not an exception for me. Read more...
Сведений об истории медицинских учреждений Тюмени, которая раньше относилась к Тобольской губернии, сохранилось немного. Известно, что в 1741 году в городе находился госпиталь, в котором числилось 3 служителя. Госпиталь располагался при монастыре. В первой половине XIX века (1845 год) в городе функционировала уже одна больница. По медицинскому ведомству служило 5 чиновников (врачей) и 7 нижних служителей (санитаров). В 1859 году была открыта городская больница, по мнению современников — лучшая в Западной Сибири, располагающая шестью больничными палатами, лабораторией, аптекой, анатомическим театром... вся история
