American doctor biography

Photo: Twitter. He was repeatedly recognized as the best doctor of the United States. He regularly visits Uzbekistan and other countries for conducting master classes and operations. Joldas Kuljanov was born in Karakalpastan. In the year, he voluntarily arrived in Tashkent to help in eliminating the consequences of a destructive earthquake. Having spent a year and a half in the capital, I decided with friends to go to study in Moscow.

But, having arrived in Samarkand, he submitted documents to Samarkand Medical University. After studying, he worked in ambulance and traumatology departments, he was sent to Nicaragua by a military doctor. At the beginning of X he was invited to the United States. Photos provided by the newspaper. I was then a young summer guy and studied in Nukus.

My friend and I decided to go to Tashkent and help people. We went to the Komsomol organization and asked us to send us to the capital. We were arranged in a tent town, which was now near Red Square - Independence Square from the Anchor Canal. The Channel Embankment was not comfortable. I remember that besides us there were many volunteers from other cities and republics - Russia, Ukraine, Georgia.

If I am not mistaken, there were more than thousands of volunteers. All of them sincerely wanted to help Tashkents and improve the city. Unfortunately, now people forget about them and can even oppose them and call the invaders. It is very upsetting me. In those days, no one said that he was an Uzbek, Georgian or Russian, everyone was the same brothers and sisters for us. Advertising on the newspaper.

In the tent town, the conditions were the most common. There were about 50 tents and we lived about 6 people. There was a bed with a bedside table in the tent. We were young, did not pay attention to the living conditions, never complained. For us, that life was romantic and satisfied us because we helped people. In such tents and conditions, residents themselves lived, who lost houses due to an earthquake.

There was no cook in the tent town. We bought products, sometimes cooked or eat on the street or in the dining room nearby. At work during lunch, no one also fed us. Everyone brought what they could. Someone brought kefir with them, someone-a bun and a herring, and someone also went to the dining room next to the construction site to eat lagman or another dish. Usually everything was there.

We lived in tents until November, as cold and frosts occurred. Waking up in the morning, I saw my blanket was covered with hoarfrost. Later we were sent to the hostel. There we also cooked ourselves. In the morning we woke up and went to work on a tram of 45 - 60 minutes. After work, they returned to the hostel. On weekends, on Saturday and Sunday, we rested.

We went to the cinema or somewhere to take a walk, but I tried not to waste a lot of time, since I had to study. With a friend, we worked on the construction of different buildings. We went to where we were sent. We built multi -storey buildings that were in the area of ​​the railway institute, near the airport. Everyone worked diligently and from the heart.

Tashkents very respected builders who came from other republics and cities. There were tents all over Tashkent, no one guarded anything, everyone lived calmly, without anxiety. The people were not aggressive, people talked in a brotherly way. There were household skirmishes, as elsewhere, but there were no serious conflicts. Tashkent has always been an open city. During the war, people took orphans.

After a year and a half of work, I went to go to my studies. Unfortunately, I did not have photos of those days, since at that time there were no mobile phones. So much time has passed. There is no connection with friends either, more than 60 years have passed. In the coming days, the newspaper. On the anniversary of the earthquake on our website, a story about the employees of the Tashkent Public Library, which saved rare books, manuscripts, notes and print media, saved from under the rubble.
