“I do not blame the doctor for the tragedy of Roman Kostomarov”: Yuri Antonov about the figure skater who underwent amputation 20.02.2023, 08:15

The author of the hit “Believe in a Dream” has had serious health problems in recent years. After exposing his leg, Antonov underwent several surgeries. Austrian doctors literally picked up the composer’s knee piece by piece. However, after that, the People’s Artist of Russia still needed a complete joint replacement.

Yuriy Mikhailovich said that he also encountered unprofessional doctors. According to the performer, “it is not a sin to curse them”. At the same time, he urged them not to blame the Kommunarka doctors for having led the situation with Kostomarov to amputations.

“I am watching this tragedy, I feel very sorry for Roman. But we need to look deeper: what caused such consequences? I wouldn’t just blame the doctor. We have to look for the reasons in Kostomarov himself. Everyone has their own body. You have to know all the circumstances… I really feel for Roman. I like him. But I think it’s not about doctors, “said Antonov in a comment to KP.

The Olympic champion in a pair with Taťána Navka continues to fight for her life. Doctors stopped the necrosis, but now the work of other organs is at risk. The lungs stopped managing their functions, so the skater was connected to a ventilator again. The Ice Age star has kidney problems. Nephrologist Anna Korobkina pointed out that the edema that Kostomarov developed was the result not only of poor kidney function, but also of thrombosis.

“The process of catabolism, i.e. the breakdown of all organs, began. Due to the severity of the condition, it is most likely a general multi-organ failure, including kidney failure. There is a risk of developing cerebral edema. Due to the failure of multiple organs, it is now difficult to single out an organ that suffers more than others – everyone is working at the limit of their capabilities, “Korobkina shared with Woman.ru.

Next to Kostomarov, his wife is in the intensive care unit. Oksana Domnina spoke about Roman’s treatment. The figure skater expressed the opinion that her husband was born again. “It’s a huge miracle,” she assured.
