Young man between life and death after falling from height

Even if doctors manage to save him, a 23-year-old man could remain confined to bed for the rest of his life after falling from height. Ludmila Untura, doctor coordinator at the Chisinau Emergency Service, told Info-Prim Neo that the man, a Drochia resident, was on a courtesy visit at an apartment on Aldea-Teodorovici Street last evening. It’s currently unknown what happened there, but at around 10:30 PM, the man fell from the fourth storey, suffering very serious injuries. Preliminary investigations of the ambulance doctors revealed that the victim suffered multiple fall-from-height-associated traumas, open head trauma, wound to the occipital zone and, possibly, backbone fracture. Police are currently conducting an investigation into the circumstances of the accident. A man, 31, while drunken, cut his left arm veins in a suicide attempt. He was admitted to the Emergency Hospital. Three pedestrians, including a child, suffered various injuries in traffic accidents on Chisinau streets. An all-terrain vehicle hit an 18-year old girl on Calea Iesilor Street. She was hospitalised with head trauma and a wound to the occipital zone. At the intersection of the streets Maria Dragan and Vadul lui Voda, a Nissan car ran into a 12-year old girl, causing ankle fractures on both legs. A man, 22, called the ambulance after midnight, claiming that, at around 10 PM, he was injured in a hit-and-run accident in his yard on Dacia Boulevard. The man was hospitalised with closed fracture of the right shank. Over the past 24 hours, the Chisinau Emergency Service recorded 835 calls, including 49 traumas, 164 cases of acute respiratory diseases, 3 brain strokes and 40 cases of mumps.
