  • How you say defenestration in Russian

    Three Russian doctors have fallen from hospital windows in two weeks, amid reports of dire conditions
    By Isabelle Khurshudyan
    May 6, 2020 at 2:17 p.m. EDT
    The narrator identified himself as Alexander Kosyakin and his colleague as Alexander Shulepov. Shulepov had just learned that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, Kosyakin said, yet “the head doctor forces us to continue working, and what can we do in the situation?”

    “We haven’t been released from our shift,” Shulepov said. Both work in Voronezh, about 300 miles south of Moscow.

    In a second video released days later by the press secretary of the regional health department, Shulepov backed off those comments, saying that he had been “emotional” and that his boss did eventually tell him to stop working.

    Shulepov was admitted to the hospital, and it was there on May 1 that he fell from a second-floor window in what local authorities have called an accident.

    Shulepov, who is in critical condition with a skull fracture, is the third Russian medical professional in two weeks to mysteriously fall from a hospital window. The other two died.

    It was an accident. He survived.

    In China, those accidents don't happen.

      I don't understand the statement that this doesn't occur in China. Self defenestration has reportedly been an ongoing issue in Apple factories and others; thus the rumors about suicide nets being installed.
      "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

        In China troublesome doctors don't have "accidents" but are disappeared by the government who later reports they died of the Chicom coronavirus in spite of "heroic efforts" to save them.

        I'm always still in trouble again

            Maybe they should take their cue from what nations practicing Sharia Law does to gays. Take the survivors back up into the building and have them try again until they get it right.

              The Saudi school of fiqh doesn't extend much past Saudi Arabia.

              China is big.

                  FWICT Iran does not follow Saudi interpretations of Sharia (what with the former being Shiite and the latter being Sunni), but they still toss gays from tall buildings all the same.

                      We had an incident once where a local mobster defenestrated one of his adversaries from a 10th floor apartment.

                      Two precious memories...
                      A) the cub reporter who came to our police station for details, and asked, in confusion, "but I thought the guy was thrown out a window!"
                      2) the quote from the mobster when, pressed to express regret, said, "yeah, I shoulda opened the window first".
                      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                        were cows or pickles involved?

                          Not until after the trial.

                            We had an incident on 8-2 day of boot camp where two recruits were wrestling around in the barracks and one accidentally got defenstrated. Amazing how quickly CCs can appear out of thin air when something like that happens.
                            Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                              They were de-pressed.
