On December 15, 2021 at the Department of Dermatovenereology, an online meeting of students with a 2020 graduate of the International Medical Institute of KSMU Sakhy Pirliev was held.
Today, Sakhy Gadamovich Pirliev is a local therapist of the Central District Hospital of the Belgorod District of the Belgorod Region, a primary healthcare specialist, and he is responsible for the health of 1,700 people living in the territory entrusted to him.
Immediately after graduation from the 6th year of the Faculty of Medicine, he started working at the hospital, receiving patients at the clinic and being on duties at the hospital. The start of work coincided with the height of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic, when a huge burden and enormous responsibility fell on the shoulders of doctors. Sakhy recalled how he was worried before each coming to work, he was afraid to arouse distrust in patients. But, thanks to good university training and the help of colleagues, he was able to quickly adapt. Of course, in order to become a real doctor, you need to constantly improve your level of competence (advanced training, reading of special literature, etc.).
Sakhy Pirliev came to Russia from Turkmenistan. When asked why he chose Kursk Medical University, he answered that he chose it according to its place in the rankings of universities, read that KSMU is one of the most authoritative and recognized medical universities not only in Russia, and its graduates are highly valued by employers.
Among the many questions asked by his young colleagues was the following: “Is it really necessary for a student of a medical university to master clinical diagnostic methods – palpation and percussion? Maybe in the age of computer technology and highly informative laboratory research methods, it is not worth spending time and energy on mastering these ancient methods of examining patients? But the doctor said that he had to put into practice these classical diagnostic methods every day when examining each patient, and advised the students not to waste time in vain and try to master these skills very well under the guidance of knowledgeable and experienced teachers, because only on the basis of questioning, examination, palpation, percussion and auscultation, you can get an idea of the disease, and only then use laboratory and instrumental methods of examination.
His knowledge of dermatovenereology also came in handy in his work: scaly skin disease, herpes zoster, tinea pedis, psoriasis arthropica – patients with such diagnoses often consult a therapist. In addition, skin rashes are characteristic signs of many somatic and infectious diseases, and therefore it is very important to learn to distinguish between the morphological elements of the rash specific to each disease.
As it turned out, not all patients who visit doctors strictly follow their prescriptions, there are those who have already made their own diagnosis and prescribed treatment. But those who want to be cured and follow medical recommendations in everything get a good result.
In conclusion, Sakhy Pirliev conducted a video tour of his office and showed what equipment he uses in his daily work.
All those present at the meeting wished Sakhy Gadamovich good health and success in his hard work!
