Leo Antonovich Bockeria has more than 180 patents for inventions, utility models and innovation proposals.

Every year, 300 thousand of our fellow citizens die from heart disease. Quite young people who could live, raise children, build houses. And if the heart surgeon Boqueria had six arms and 48 hours in a day, he would save and save those who can be saved. But in fact, every second person can be saved.

As paradoxical as it may sound, the heart in its main form is just a muscle. We get sick, nervous, swear, and the heart wears out, turning into a half-dead flabby lump. But he can be saved. Most heart diseases can be treated well. Including surgery. Some - in a matter of hours. But people don't seem to know about this.

During the 10 years of the Afghan campaign, the country lost 15 thousand people. This is talked about often and a lot. Every year, 300 thousand of our fellow citizens die from heart disease. Quite young people who could live, raise children, build houses. And if the heart surgeon Boqueria had six arms and 48 hours in a day, he would save and save those who can be saved. But in fact, every second person can be saved.

Surgeon Bockeria arrives at work at half past seven. Not later than. A well-worn Mercedes stops at the main entrance to the cardio center, and a sporty-looking, fit young man gets out. Exactly young. I insist on this characteristic. Because only a young doctor can perform five operations a day. And not everyone does. Young surgeons “break down” by assisting Boqueria only once a day. It’s hard physically, even harder mentally, when you literally have a person’s heart, his life in your hands. It’s hard, leaving the operating room, to meet the pleading glances of your parents, it’s hard to take responsibility. How does surgeon Bokeria deal with this? big mystery. He simply arrives at work early in the morning, puts on sterile clothes, and enters the operating room as if it were a small stage or a small ring. And he plays. With death. On the side of life.

He performs the most complex heart surgeries possible, taking on what other surgeons refuse. Sometimes he performs three in one operation: changing a heart valve, performing bypass surgery, eliminating arrhythmia.

Then he leaves the operating room, takes off the mask covering his face, takes off his rubber gloves and sterile cap and turns into the most ordinary doctor Aibolit, at whom the rescued children, parents exhausted by anticipation, and nurses secretly in love with him smile. He smiles back, because Leo Boqueria is an optimist by nature and just an easy-going, smiling person. You especially understand this when you enter his office, littered with children's toys, figurines and many cute things that speak about the owner's character.

- Leo Antonovich, I can’t do without an “original” question: why surgery and why the heart?

This is my credo from a young age: if you live and work in the city, live and work in the center. Therefore, when I decided to go to medical school, there was no alternative to surgery. A serious guy won’t engage in some kind of therapy or treat his ears. And when I decided to become a surgeon, there was nothing left to do but work “in the center” of the human body. That is, work with the heart.

- You moved into the cardio center when it was still unfinished. Why such a rush?

Otherwise there would be no center at all. In 1991, without completing their work, the Germans fled from the construction site, leaving behind a lot of imperfections and piles of garbage. There was no sewerage, telephone, communications, or electricity. The roof was leaking and the batteries needed replacing. Everything possible has already been stolen. I realized: if we don’t start working here, the building will be torn down brick by brick. This is where my own experience as a new settler came in very handy. Once upon a time, my wife and I got a new apartment and moved into it, unfinished. They hung the wallpaper themselves, whitewashed the ceilings - and life began to warm up in it. I did the same with the center. He began operating in an unfinished building, in two operating rooms. The patients lay in wards without amenities. Colleagues were shocked. Gradually everything got better. But I still take care of everything in my household myself. I count everything to the last penny. I myself sign papers for the purchase of complex equipment and for the purchase of chamber pots.

Georgian theme

-Are you a real Georgian?

Hope.

- Do you sing Georgian songs?

But of course! The repertoire is small. I love the songs “Country of Flowers”, “Come on, Chonguri, let’s talk.” In Russian I sing the Italian romance “Tell, girls, to your girlfriend.”

- Here, at work, do you speak Georgian with your fellow countrymen?

- Do your daughters know Georgian?

Unfortunately no.

- Gossips they claim that you lured many, many Georgian doctors to your clinic. Did this happen by accident or was it intended?

This is not entirely true. The vast majority of our Georgians have been working here since time immemorial, when the director of the center was Vladimir Ivanovich Burakovsky, my teacher. Who did I drag? I have a classmate who is a famous former football player. He came to me for an operation, but at that time Abkhazia, where he lived, declared its independence. So he became a refugee and was unable to return home, having undergone major heart surgery. I took him to my warehouse. So should I be blamed for this? People of various nationalities often gather around the operating table - Ukrainians, Jews, Caucasians. Our center is multinational, such a small USSR. It warms my soul because it’s fair that they were all born in the same country. Russia gives them the opportunity to live like human beings.

- Your grandson Antosha is now eight years old. What if he decides to become a surgeon?

Well... he has the prerequisites for this. Recently he lost to me at chess. He got so angry, he even roared with frustration. My family swore at me: they say, I had to lose, I had to give in. But I won’t: let the character develop.

- What pictures from your childhood do you remember?

The first thing I remember is my father's funeral. I was three years old. I didn’t understand anything and was playing around. Everyone told me: “Behave yourself. Your dad is dead!” The second picture is Victory Day. It was sunny, they put me on short pants with straps. It happened in Ochamchira. The radio was playing in the square, and everyone went to him - as if for a holiday. I remember the years 47-48. There was a famine in Georgia at that time.

- I heard that you played football with your employees. Didn't they take it out on you during the game?

They acted out, it happened. One was clearly trying to hit me in the legs with terrible force.

Unpleasant questions

It’s amazing but true: in the center of Boqueria, doctors do not take bribes. It was not Leo Antonovich himself who told me this. Surprised and deeply touched patients - the parents of little Kostya Krasilnikov - spoke about this. Their newborn baby underwent surgery to correct a heart defect. When Ira and Valera wanted to thank the young surgeon who saved their son’s life, he refused to talk to them. “If you want to say thank you, buy something for the department or transfer money to the cash register.” That was the dry answer. But I decided not to refuse the question on the topical topic of “gratitude” to doctors. It’s still interesting what Bockeria himself thinks about this.

- Leo Antonovich, everyone knows how little doctors receive. Especially the sisters. It is impossible not to take bribes for such hard work. In short, how do you fight bribes?

I fired two doctors for extortion. But if the parents of an operated child or a seriously ill patient themselves decide to pay for the work of the nurse and doctor, I will not protest.

- They say you are a very tough person, although looking at you you wouldn’t think so.

I'm not tough. There are enough people working at the center that I have complaints about. And I don't fire them. I'm sorry. We grew up together, worked together, and for each of us, being fired is not only a personal tragedy, but also a family one. And family is sacred. I’m at work 14 hours a day, I can rip anyone off at any time and get very angry if my question is not answered clearly within five minutes. But I'm cooling down quickly. I recruited every person at the center myself, listened to them myself. Even to the help desk.

- Two and a half thousand people work in Bakulevka. In a large group, gossip and anonymous stories are popular. Have you encountered this problem?

But of course! They wrote anonymous letters about me. To my superiors. For example, they reported that I bought myself a brand new Mercedes.

- What actually happened?

I have a service Volga. But I really drive a Mercedes. He is 11 years old. And we rented it for $70 a month. It's cheaper than repairing an old barge every week. And I invented a brilliant technique against gossip. If someone whispers in my ear about someone, I voice these words at the meeting, for all to hear! It helps a lot. No second time required.

Sewn up heart

- Every doctor in his arsenal has a story that begins with the words: “I had a patient…”

It was about 20 years ago. A friend from Ochamchira comes to me and says: “We’re coming to us urgently, our guy is dying from a wound in the heart!” I'm taking an evening flight via Adler to Georgia. At night I run to the hospital. Do you have any idea what a district hospital is? I have surgery and fly to Moscow in the morning. And I completely forget about it. About two years later I came to Ochamchira on vacation. The mountain river Galizga, which is very close to my house, overflowed. The entire city spilled onto the shore. They are looking. And only one person, the strongest, pulls the floating cows out of the river and the fallen trees. As a tourist, I photograph all this. And suddenly he sees me, throws another cow - and rushes towards me. He grabs it with dirty hands and throws it into the air. It turned out that he was the same guy whose heart I sewed.

- You operated on Zurab Sotkilava, and then accompanied him to a wine tasting. Did you not trust him, were you afraid that he would get drunk?

Ha ha ha! I was the president of the tasting club, and he was on the commission. I just made sure that he gave the grades correctly! As for the operation itself, it was a happy occasion when it turned out to be possible to perform the operation using a catheter (expansion of a very narrowed vessel), and the heart attack “gave up” immediately.

- Leo Antonovich, what is your favorite toast?

For the "Golden Hippocrates"! Hippocrates is an old friend of mine. I swore allegiance to him when I graduated from medical school. Apparently, he decided that I was a good student, and returned in the form of this heavy thing - that is, a figurine and a prize.

And doctors can be scared

Although Leo Antonovich himself is a top-class expert on matters of the heart, he has never examined his own heart. He says his body is balanced. And if you start doing an examination, something will definitely go wrong in the “settings”.

- What is the secret of youth from Leo Bockeria? Amosov, for example, promoted jogging as a guarantee of long life...

I haven't invented anything special in my life. Firstly, I believe that you should not get too carried away with food. You can eat deliciously occasionally, but on other days you can eat something that doesn’t cause much delight. You need to eat your usual food every day. Especially for breakfast. As for running, I’m not a fan of heavy loads. Sport games- Please. Football, basketball, volleyball, hockey - depending on age. I also recognize static gymnastics. What it is? Try standing for a few minutes with your arm raised or on one leg. The loads are significant, and the result is the same as when running. I even sometimes use these techniques during operations that last for hours.

- Do you have your own talisman? What do you think about before surgery?

There was a period in my life when I began to master the problems of arrhythmia. Difficult situations arose, sometimes I wanted to run away from the operating table. My daughter’s voice helped me out. At only two and a half years old, she knew all of Chukovsky by heart. She still spoke poorly then. But I heard her diligent voice during difficult operations. I consciously turned to this voice. He helped both me and the patient. Usually the operation ended successfully.

- Is it easy to squeeze a tear out of Dr. Bockeria?

You can’t get used to people’s grief. At work, I often find myself in a situation where a lump comes to my throat.

-Are you comparing our doctors and foreign ones? Comparison in whose favor is it?

We have something to work on.

- In the USA you were elected to the American College of Surgeons. There are only one hundred honorary members there. Are the others standing in line? And what does this give you?

When someone dies, the next one is chosen. What does this give me? In fact - nothing. This is prestigious in our international surgical community.

- You have so many different titles. As soon as you were called: both “man of the year” and “man-legend”. What title or award are you most proud of?

Lenin and State Prizes. These awards were given to me for the main work of my life. For the work as a result of which people who were hopelessly ill and incurable yesterday became healthy today.

- Leo Antonovich, you often talk about the extinction of a nation. Do you mean that every second Russian dies from heart disease and something needs to be done about it?

Alas, the nation is not dying only from heart disease, although 54 percent of all deaths are due to cardiac diseases. We eat a lot. We eat in reserve. We lie on the couch and get fat. We age faster than others. There is no single recipe for saving the nation. But it is a fact that this should be a common concern of both the state and society.

- And you know how to save the nation from all this?

We created the League of a Healthy Nation so that everyone could come to the health center at their place of residence. Take your blood pressure, work out on the gym, and have lunch there. Not some harmful hamburgers and burnt meat, but eat healthy food.

- Well, you are an incorrigible romantic! A healthy lifestyle costs big money! People pay round sums of dollars for visiting all sorts of fitness centers. Where does an ordinary “middle class” citizen get that kind of money?

This is a solvable issue. It is necessary to create a model of self-developing healthcare. The League will try to revive analogues of those programs for physical education, sports, and family health care that existed before. This is not a return to the past. These are ideas that it would be foolish to refuse. It is necessary to create and legal framework to ensure the health of ordinary citizens.

- Leo Antonovich, now they often talk about the prevention of certain diseases. In my opinion, this is a thankless task. Thunder won't strike - the man won't cross himself. Or is it really possible to warn? And in general, what diseases need to be prevented today?

It is realistic to help citizens in the fight against cardiovascular diseases, AIDS, and tuberculosis. Forewarned is forearmed.

- Who, besides doctors, will take part in the work of the league?

Attitude to one's health is part of a nation's culture. Therefore, scientists, outstanding athletes, and government officials will take the most active part in the work of the league. Many of them are my friends. You won't have to persuade anyone.

Ladies' man

By nature, Leo Antonovich is a poet and romantic, perhaps even an artist at heart. He can talk for a long time about the beauty of the heart, his ideal forms... comparing it in beauty and role in a person’s life with the beauty and role of a woman in a man’s life.

- Your family is female - a wife, two daughters...

I'll tell you more! I have a mother-in-law. She is 85 years old. I have two sisters and a niece.

What a great one! You can sympathize with me! But I personally buy gifts for all my ladies; I can’t trust others with them.

- Both of your daughters are cardiologists. The youngest recently defended her doctorate. Don’t they complain that rumor attributes their achievements to you?

They're complaining! But what do I have to do with it?! I am very loving dad in everything that does not relate to medicine. Both daughters graduated from college with honors. Did I give them hints in class? Did you write dissertations for them?! And the eldest... did not stay at the research institute, she went to a regular hospital to work with premature babies.

- Leo Antonovich, if something happened to your heart, who would you entrust it to?

Only for daughters.

- Is your wife also a doctor?

Yes, therapist. Head of the general therapeutic department at First Medical Center.

- How did you meet?

We studied in the same group. I remember we had our first exam in anatomy. It's simply impossible to get an "excellent" grade. So I go around my comrades and ask who passed what. Some say “failed!”, some say “C”. And suddenly such a little girl says: “And I passed with an A!” I immediately noted it, because I myself barely received a “B”.

- So what - you decided to get married right away?

No, we got married at the end of our studies. It was not immediately possible to win the heart of a serious excellent student.

- Is your wife Georgian?

Russian.

Humble Doctor

- What kind of work do you do around the house?

I can do a lot of things. I can hammer a nail, hang a picture, vacuum it. I know how to dig beds and plant trees. I can disassemble a complex mechanism and assemble it... without spare parts.

- In the clinic of the ophthalmologist Fedorov, during his lifetime, his portraits hung in many offices. Does this happen to you?

Unfortunately. I believe that a portrait on the wall has value when it is signed. I don't sign my portraits.

- Should a doctor be involved in politics? Like Roshal, for example?

Why not? Teachers are involved in politics, artists are involved in politics, and doctors are worse? Roshal succeeds. The wind is at his back.

- As a doctor and a citizen, what are you more afraid of - SARS or war?

Of course, wars! It’s not good when someone comes to someone else’s house and starts establishing their own rules there. By the way, I spoke out against the war in Iraq on the Internet. As soon as hostilities began, I signed the petition and Italian doctors put forward it. I also suffer from the fact that I have not been able to visit my parents’ grave for 11 years. They are buried in Abkhazia.

- I’m more afraid of pneumonia.

I am sure that a vaccine will soon be created for it, but for war, unfortunately, not...

Blitz interview

- Yours positive quality?

Optimism.

- Negative?

I am intensely experiencing the consequences of optimism.

- How long do you sleep?

Six o'clock.

- How many operations do you do per day?

Four five.

- Who are you rooting for?

For Torpedo.

- How is your last name translated?

There is no exact translation. The root of this surname is found among Spaniards, Germans, and Italians.

- Do you like to eat?

- What is your favorite movie?

- "Godfather".

- If a car, then...

- "Bentley".

ProfessionalAndscientificactivity

L.A. Throughout his career, Boqueria actively and fruitfully used the experimental method. Whole line operations and methods tested in the experiment were then successfully implemented in the clinic. These are various remote control operations in barooperative, electrical isolation left atria, denervation of the heart, modeling of blue and pale heart defects, etc. Among the newest methods are cryoablation, fulguration, laser photoablation, now widely used not only in the country, but also abroad.

Actively uses computer methods in diagnostics and pathology modeling systems blood circulation, gas exchange, arrhythmias. Various nomograms, charts, tables used in the clinic. Performed about 2000 open heart operations for tachyarrhythmias.

He is one of the founders of surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias -- the newest direction clinical medicine. Back in 1980, he created the country's first specialized department tachyarrhythmias and electrophysiological methods for diagnosing arrhythmias were introduced into clinical practice. A complex of non-invasive examination of patients with complex life-threatening rhythm disturbances was developed and introduced into the clinic, including the most modern diagnostic methods, surface mapping, ECG high resolution, heart rate variability and others. He developed and introduced into widespread practice new operations for premature excitation syndrome ventricles, supraventricular tachycardias and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. These are operations of resection and denervation of the sinus node with implantation of bifocal pacemakers for sinus arrhythmias and long QT syndrome, epicardial electrical impulse destruction for syndrome Wolf -- Parkinson's -- White, endocardial resection and cryodestruction for non-coronarogenic ventricular tachycardias, operations for allorhythmias, for syndrome elongated interval QT, various operations of isolation of the atrioventricular node for nodal tachyarrhythmias, radical elimination of flutter atria, the most complex operation “Labyrinth-3” for treatment flickering arrhythmias.

Main directions scientific activity L.A. Boqueria is: surgery arrhythmias And ischemic illnesses hearts, congenital and acquired vices hearts, terminal cardiac insufficiency, hyperbaric oxygenation, minimally invasive heart surgery, the use of laser in heart surgery, the use of computers in surgery and mathematical modeling, modeling of cardiovascular system pathology in experiment, target planning and scientific methodology.

Scientific achievements

§ L.A. Bockeria was the first in the country to work on hyperbaric oxygenation. Original works were performed using hyperbaric oxygenation in resuscitation, transplantology and some other areas. He personally performed almost two hundred heart surgeries under high pressure in the barooperative room. A number of operations on a “dry” heart, as well as with a combination of hyperbaric oxygenation and artificial circulation, were the first in surgical practice.

§ He was one of the first in the world to perform simultaneous operations to correct congenital, acquired heart defects, or coronary heart disease, combined with life-threatening tachyarrhythmias. These operations significantly expanded the possibilities of radical cure for previously inoperable patients. They were also the first in the country to perform implantation of cardioverter-defibrillators to prevent sudden death.

§ L. A. Bockeria made a great contribution to the problem of coronary heart disease - the most common disease. He introduced new methods of left ventricular reconstruction in patients with post-infarction cardiac aneurysms into clinical practice. This new type physiological operations in patients with very high operational risk.

§ L. A. Bokeria is the initiator and pioneer of minimally invasive heart surgery, including the use of three-dimensional imaging of the surgical field to improve the safety of the operation itself.

§ The great merit of L. A. Bockeria is the development, together with physicists, the performance of the first operations and the introduction into practice of transmyocardial myocardial revascularization using the domestic carbon dioxide laser, and subsequently the excimer laser in the most severe group of patients with coronary artery disease with distal forms of coronary artery disease, when it is impossible performing aorto-coronary bypass surgery. A new step in this newest problem became the intraoperative use of TMLR during coronary artery bypass grafting.

§ With the name L.A. Bockeria is associated with the opening of a new chapter in domestic cardiac surgery - the formation of approaches to the surgical treatment of critical (terminal) heart failure. He is a pioneer in the development of the concept of dynamic cardiomyoplasty for critical heart failure. He personally completed a large number of of these operations, including for the first time in the world in children.

§ The special merit of L. A. Bockeria is the performance of the first operations in the USSR on fully implanted artificial heart ventricles (IHC), in particular the Novokor IHC.

§ L. A. Bokeria is a pioneer of a fundamentally new branch of cardiac surgery - minimally invasive heart surgery in the USSR. He performed the first successful operations using the latest techniques in patients with congenital and acquired heart defects, with life-threatening arrhythmias, and with ischemic heart disease.

§ He is one of the initiators of the creation of the only automated medical history of cardiac surgery, the database of which includes more than 20 thousand patients.

§ He is one of the authors and developers of the pilot telemedicine project “Moscow - regions of Russia”, the purpose of which is for local doctors to conduct full consultations with the Center’s specialists using the entire volume of diagnostic information. Today, as part of this project, teleconsultations are regularly held using videoconferencing, including from the operating room, with doctors from 16 Russian regions and Belarus.

§ Has more than 150 patents for inventions, utility models and innovation proposals.

Every year, heart disease kills 300 thousand people in Russia. More - only in Ukraine. And this figure cannot be reduced in any way. Poor environment, unhealthy lifestyle, constant stress, lack of highly qualified surgeons and the latest equipment - these are the troubles of our days. This is probably why the “Hero of Our Time” award in the “Scientist of the Decade” category was given to the readers of Novye Izvestia by the one who is trying to solve this problem with his own hands. We are talking about the country's chief cardiac surgeon, academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, head of the Bakulev Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery Leo BOKERIA.

Ordinary morning an ordinary hero. At half past six Leo Antonovich was already on his feet. Contrast shower, healthy breakfast - cottage cheese with yogurt, and off to the car. At half past seven he already arrives at the gates of the Bakulevsky center. In a spacious office, littered with soft toys, Boqueria is not staying long - it’s time for surgery. Despite his age (the doctor celebrated his 68th birthday last weekend), he performs 5-6 operations a day. She helps children in the morning and adults in the afternoon.

Putting on a sterile gown and cap, Leo Antonovich is transformed. Intense concentration appears in the eyes. As the surgeon admits, even during a multi-hour operation, he cannot think about anything except the patient, whose heart he holds in his hands. Only at the most difficult moments remembers the voices of his children, which help him regain confidence and calm down.

Everyone who has ever been in Leo Bokeria’s operating room has noted how accurately and deftly his hands fly, how well-tuned his assistants understand with just one nod of the head. The team of surgeons works like clockwork, like the master’s heart, which he has not checked for many years - there is no reason. Sports, proper nutrition, gymnastics, which he even practices in the operating room, and his inner fire do their job. The attending physicians of Leo Bockeria, his daughter, are closely monitoring to ensure that no reason arises. Both of them followed in their father’s footsteps: they became heart surgeons.

Everyone who has ever been in the Boqueria operating room notes the doctor’s determination. Even in life he gives the impression of a man who knows what he is doing. Leo Antonovich long ago answered the main question for surgeons - does he have the right to take on the role of arbiter of destinies? He has because he has to give people a chance. “I remember this incident. The grandfather learned that his newborn grandson would have to undergo a series of heart operations, and refused to give the child a chance, deciding that it could be very painful. I told him then and I will repeat it now: no one has the right to take a person’s life! Even just a few moments of it. As a doctor, I always proceed from these considerations,” says Leo Boqueria.

To give people a chance, he worked on a method called hyperbaric oxygenation, which made it possible to operate on practically inoperable children by placing them in a pressure chamber. For the sake of this very chance, he, risking his own health, performed more than 2 thousand operations under pressure equal to the pressure of water at 25 meters depth. He earned the Lenin Prize and... the Honored Submariner Award. It was for this chance that he became the first in the country to implant defibrillators to prevent sudden death. It was for this reason that he spent years developing the newest direction in clinical medicine - surgical treatment of arrhythmia. It was this chance that recently, in November, made him dare to implant an artificial left ventricle of the heart into a teenager. Again for the first time in the country...

“If medicine is surgery. If it’s surgery, then it’s cardiac surgery!” - this is how 17-year-old Leo, who came to Moscow from the Abkhaz town of Ochamchira, reasoned, choosing which university and faculty he should enter. He has not deviated from his principle even now. Only he already thinks in other categories: if he deals with the treatment of heart diseases, then also with their prevention. If you work in medicine, then keep your finger on the pulse and public policy in healthcare. This was one of the reasons that Leo Bokeria headed the public organization “League of National Health”. Organizing football championships among schoolchildren in the regions, free diagnostics for hundreds of people, lectures on a healthy lifestyle, helping young surgeons - this is just a small part of what Leo Bockeria is trying to find at least a couple of hours for. busy schedule operations.

He is on friendly terms with both officials and legislators. But of course! If he doesn’t talk about the sick spots in Russian healthcare, others won’t listen at all. Leo Bokeria never tires of talking about the need to increase quotas for the treatment of heart patients. His constant headache is the problem of pediatric transplantology. Now, due to imperfect legislation, it is actually prohibited. Meanwhile, in the West, a heart transplant from a child to a child saves hundreds of lives. Thanks also to the efforts of Leo Bockeria, a document authorizing pediatric transplantation may appear in the coming months.

In general, Leo Antonovich always did everything himself. He himself renovated the unfinished building of the Bakulevsky Center, which he had to move into in the early 90s, he himself selected the staff for the clinic, and he manages it himself. Subordinates say: strict, but fair.

Surprisingly, with such strength of character, Leo Bockeria never got used to many things. Not used to human grief. In a recent interview, he admitted that he could not forget the touching smile of a child whom he had recently operated on. “The baby’s diagnosis is serious - a heart defect. The operation was completed with complications. I had to operate again. Fortunately, everything worked out fine. But to this day I have it in my head that this child smiled at us, and here we are... It happens that something goes wrong, and then suddenly you begin to remember some details of the conversation with your parents or relatives, or with the patient himself. I never got used to it.”

Leo Bokeria is emotional not only about failures, but also about victories. He says that every patient’s recovery is for him ordinary miracle. He still remembers many of those he operated on. “It was about 20 years ago. A friend from Ochamchira comes to me and says: “We’re coming to us urgently, our guy is dying from a wound in the heart!” I'm taking an evening flight via Adler to Georgia. I have surgery and fly to Moscow in the morning. And I completely forget about it. About two years later I came to Ochamchira on vacation. The mountain river Galizga, which is very close to my house, overflowed. The entire city spilled onto the shore. They are looking. And only one person, the strongest, pulls the floating cows out of the river and the fallen trees. As a tourist, I photograph all this. And suddenly he sees me, throws another cow - and rushes towards me. He grabs it with dirty hands and throws it into the air. It turned out that he was the same guy whose heart I sewed,” Leo animatedly told this story to journalists more than once.

They say about the Bakulevsky Center that doctors here never take bribes. This is the Boqueria rule. A bottle of cognac in gratitude - no more. For extorting patients, he immediately fires them. Although he values his employees. He even plays football with them on Sundays. He says that all work conflicts are resolved on their own, although sometimes they trip him up.

And the surgeon likes to spend Sundays at the festive table. Like a real Georgian, he knows a lot about good wine and cognac. He says that alcohol (in moderation, of course) brightens our lives. He loves to make toasts and can sing a Georgian romance. Boqueria is the keeper of family traditions. He has two daughters, two sisters, a wife. The male company consists of a son-in-law and a 12-year-old grandson, with whom the grandfather communicates as equals. On New Year's Day, all his relatives gather at his house - at least thirty people.

Leo Bockeria himself does not undertake to list all his awards. There are many of them in the piggy bank - from the State Prize to the “Golden Hippocrates”. Readers of Novye Izvestia called him a “Hero of Our Time.” However, the word “hero” itself does not really suit Leo Antonovich. A hero is one who rests on his laurels, but he still fights. Against death on the side of life.

LeoBOCERIA-"NewIzvestia"

“Bad habits are a terrible thing for the heart: smoking, alcoholism, overeating, sleeping when necessary, not caring about the regime. A person should move more, sleep at the same time, even if he works different shifts. It is better to exclude foods that are very fatty and high in carbohydrates. There is a diet for astronauts, we call it the Kremlin diet. A good thing, because a person can not deny himself anything. The only condition if you want to maintain normal weight or lose weight is to eat boiled fish and meat, and only fresh vegetables. And, of course, you need to study physical exercise. You don't have to go to the fitness center, there is simple gymnastics. In general, to maintain shape for a person who has switched to average age, it’s enough to walk one hour a week.”

“Today it is difficult to meet a calm, balanced person who is confident in the future. Everyone is under some kind of tension. Even children experience a constant state of stress passed on to them from their parents. This is not yesterday’s or today’s problem, it is a long-standing one.”

“The main issue is the poverty and misery of Russians. Throughout the 19th-20th centuries and now, people mainly solve the problem of survival. I'm talking about the bulk of the population. If we take the USA and Western European countries, then by and large people there are not bothered by pressing problems, if, of course, they work. They have a roof over their head, they don't think about what to eat or wear. They think about other things: about health, about quality products, about a sports club, about where to spend a vacation. All this is important for improving the health of each individual and the nation as a whole.”
