In Volyn – another case of poisoning with counterfeit alcohol. Towards evening, a 45-year-old man from the village of Ostrovok was brought to the intensive care unit of the Volodymyr-Volynskyi district hospital from his place of residence. The victim had signs of severe poisoning. "He was admitted to us in a serious condition," Oleksandr Nalyvaiko, head of the intensive care unit, told us. To save Vasyl F., the medics administered intensive therapy. The man improved, but he continues to complain of poor eyesight. Doctors claim that Vasyl evidently drank a solution that contained methyl alcohol – only it affects eyesight so severely. However, the victim himself still does not admit to what he drank and with whom. This year, Oleksandr Nalyvaiko says, about 20 people with alcohol surrogate poisoning have been admitted to the Volodymyr-Volynskyi intensive care unit alone. Last year one such patient died. Interestingly, recently doctors must report such cases to the police, the tax police, and the sanitary station authorities.
