Description:
“In six months of service, I learned to pour chlorine over toilets, accidentally gave a child chlorine, was afraid to go to war with a friend, and almost broke up with my girlfriend. I also gave away all my savings, barely pulled a patient out of a severe complication, buried my career as a surgeon, and gained ten kilos. Oh, and I nearly destroyed the mental health of my beloved cat, who goes weeks without seeing her owner.
“Bukuriia” is a funny, incomprehensible word that was meant to represent a good emotion. That is what Bohdan Zhuravel decided to name his ‘ship’ when one day he turned from a civilian surgeon into a battalion combat medic. Bohdan masterfully combines black despair with dark humor. This is an honest story of a person who made a difficult choice and does not always know how to live with it.”
