Victor Andrienko

From the outside it looked like he had lost consciousness, but after that he was diagnosed with an ulcer.
“I was driven to the point. When my teacher said: “Vitya, who is this, you’re not even a Komsomol member,” my bar was blown,” said the showman.

“The first time it was in a student clinic. I had otitis media, I was prescribed a strong antibiotic injection. Or [врач] got it wrong. He injected it into me, and it was just clinical death, when everything turns off. He injected me with adrenaline, and it was some other trainee, because when I opened my eyes, I remember that his hair stood on end,” said the actress.

“I left the room and lost consciousness,” she noted.
According to the actress, she was very scared the first time.
“It was like fast forwarding, very loud. It’s an internal discomfort. It’s like you’re standing in a loud room where 500 tracks are playing simultaneously quickly,” Greshnova described her condition. “But the second time the sensations were completely different. It was so comfortable and pleasant. There was a kind of bell. Everything was so bright, I was so warm, I felt so high that when they poured the drug into my eyes, I came to my senses and said: “Why did you do that, I felt so bad.” cool.” These are two absolutely polar stories.”
