- How to combine the medical profession and televedushego?

- It is difficult to combine. Working day sometimes lasts for 16-20 hours.

- And it is not harmful to health?

- Is harmful, but it is for me the pleasure. But if something brings pleasure and does not cause irreparable harm - it was good.

- Are any equity from fatigue?

- I advise you to do other activity. And best of all to lie down to sleep. Or a certain number of times with a good girl - also helps. Play billiards, I go hunting. I'm a hunter with great experience, I love to visit the outdoors, listening to the birds. Shot on the hunt - not the main. Not taste good like medicine.

- In general, the people's means - tea with lemon, raspberry. If the temperature - aspirin. TV advertised drugs are not like - they gave me literally not like. The medicine should be tasty, then treatment will be successful.



PERSONAL DOCTOR "Ostankino"
- Your program "Without a prescription - not the first on our TV ne-redacha Health. What is it different?

- The old program "Health", which led Julia Belianchikova was good, and "Mediiinskoe Review", which she now makes on TNT, I also like. But it was all such a home, and our - more modern, tough. Our main difference - I was the doctor's actions.

- Colleagues teleiehu turn to you for medical help?

- Continuing with the other channels too. I advise all, I can follow the treatment, well, except that the hospital did not have the right to write. Just do not ask, who of TV stars I helped - and this is a medical secret!

- A patient in a hospital as a reaction to the appearance in the House of Rights "from the TV?

Initially surprised. We must get used to that when I say: "Hello, what's bothering you?", I'm not from the "box" appeal.

- You ever try drugs?

- No ... Although true. Once, after a severe fracture me an injection promedola - a rather serious drug. But among those who use drugs for medical reasons, only one percent of addicts - not the kind of motivation. For these drugs are associated with pain, rather than boxed.

- Other bad habits do you have?
