Time has passed again, and there are no significant changes in the hospital. Old problems have not disappeared: lack of equipment, shortage of staff. I am tired of this. Olena Babenko finally responded to my previous request and offered a meeting. This is good news. I need to prepare as much specific data as possible for her so that she understands the scale of the problems and can help. This is especially true for critical equipment and diagnostic queues. I also received a message from Halyna Kozak. Her request regarding scarce medications is quite logical, and I can provide her with this information. This will help her better manage pharmacy stocks. For my part, I can offer her data on real demand based on hospital statistics. This is beneficial for both of us. I decided to schedule a meeting with Olena Babenko at a time convenient for her and prepare all the necessary information for her. I will also reply to Halyna Kozak, providing her with the requested data.
Options
- Schedule a meeting with Olena Babenko and provide her with the requested data.
- Prepare a report for Olena Babenko, but postpone the meeting.
- Ignore Olena Babenko's request and focus on current hospital affairs.
Choice. I choose the first option because a meeting with Olena Babenko and providing her with comprehensive information is the best chance to get support for the hospital. It is also important to reply to Halyna Kozak.
Diary. Finally, there is a chance to move things forward. Olena Babenko is ready to listen. I have prepared comprehensive information about the hospital's needs for her. I have replied to Halyna Kozak, providing her with data on scarce medications. This is beneficial for both of us. We need to continue fighting for the hospital because people's health is the most important thing.

Another new turn. Time is running out, and my hospital needs immediate changes. Olena Babenko has finally agreed to a meeting, which is a great sign. She understands the problems of medicine, and her position in the city council could be decisive. I need to prepare a clear but comprehensive request for her. Halyna Kozak, as always, is ready to help with medicines – it's a small thing, but very important for patients. I need to thank her and perhaps offer to exchange information about needs. I must find a way to modernize the hospital and retain doctors; this is my main goal. Outdated equipment and staff shortages are not just numbers, they are human lives. Vilnyi Bereh Bank is also imposing stricter requirements on projects, which could affect any attempts to attract investment. I need to act carefully. Therefore, the first step will be to prepare for the meeting with Olena Babenko.
Options
- Prepare a detailed request for Olena Babenko with information about equipment, vacancies, and waiting lists.
- Send Olena Babenko a brief request for a meeting to discuss everything in person.
- Focus on other issues, ignoring the preparation for the meeting with Olena Babenko for now.
Choice. I choose the first option. This is the most effective way to use Olena Babenko's potential help by providing her with all the necessary information for decision-making.
Diary. Prepared a detailed report for Olena Babenko. Included information on equipment, vacancies, and waiting lists. This is our best hope for support. Also thanked Halyna Kozak for help with medicines and proposed an exchange of information.

The situation with the hospital remains critical, despite my efforts. There is a shortage of doctors, and the equipment is outdated. The main hope is Olena Babenko, who, as a doctor, should understand my needs. Her visit last time was a step forward, but we need to consolidate the success. Last move, I sent her the data and proposed a meeting, but I haven't received a response yet. This needs to be fixed. Halyna Kozak also approached me with a question about the most critical medications. It's a small thing, but important for our pensioners, and I can help her. Ivan Holub also needs information, although it's not entirely my area, but trade union activities can be useful for the hospital, so it's worth maintaining contact. We need to focus on two key areas: providing the hospital with resources and personnel, and supporting those who are willing to help.
Options
- Offer Olena Babenko a specific date and time for a meeting, provide a detailed report on the hospital's needs.
- Send Halyna Kozak a list of the most critical medications and propose a joint event for pensioners.
- Reply to Ivan Holub, provide him with information about potential risks associated with modernization, and offer cooperation.
- Contact the mayor Viktor Yaroshenko with a proposal to allocate additional funding for the hospital.
Choice. I choose option 1 because the meeting with Olena Babenko is my top priority for resolving the hospital's problems. Providing a detailed report and proposing a specific date will increase the chances of success.
Diary. Today I focused on Olena Babenko. Her understanding of the medical field is our best chance. I sent her a detailed report and proposed specific dates for a meeting. I hope this time she agrees and we can move forward with the hospital's funding and staffing issues. This is our hope.
Turn 39 November 2026Prepare and send to Olena Babenko information on the workload of ECG and EchoCG, queues, waiting times, equipment status, staffing capabilities, and changes in patient routes during repairs. Propose a meeting in my office next week on a weekday. Also, prepare a response for Ivan Holub with general information on the medical aspects of industrial risk inspections.accepted

10 days have passed again. The situation with the hospital is not changing, only worsening. I feel tired, but I cannot give up. We must continue to fight for modernization and doctors. Olena Babenko has finally agreed to talk, which gives hope. It is important to prepare all the necessary information for her so that she understands the criticality of the situation. I also received a request from Ivan Holub concerning industrial risks. This is an interesting opportunity to show how medicine can influence industrial safety and possibly find new allies. I need to carefully consider how to respond to Olena to make our dialogue as productive as possible, and how to help Ivan without exceeding my authority and knowledge.
Options
- Prepare detailed information for Olena Babenko on the hospital's condition, queues, equipment, and staffing situation.

- Provide Ivan Holub with general information on the medical aspects of industrial risk inspections, without going into detail.
- Respond to Olena Babenko by sending the requested information and suggest a meeting for detailed discussion.
Choice. I choose option 4 because it allows me to simultaneously provide Olena Babenko with the necessary information and suggest a personal meeting, which is the best way to achieve mutual understanding. It will also allow me to better understand her needs.
Diary. This time, I managed to take two important steps: send Olena Babenko the necessary data and suggest a meeting, as well as provide Ivan Holub with basic information on industrial risks. I hope this will help move the hospital modernization issue forward and provide Ivan with useful arguments. Fatigue remains, but every such step adds strength.

I, Valentyna Hrytsenko, chief physician of the city hospital, feel deeply tired, but also a certain hope. The last entries in my diary testify to my consistent struggle for hospital modernization and resolving the staffing crisis. I see that Olena Babenko, my contact with the city council, has finally started to respond to my appeals. Her visit to the hospital, which took place, as I recall, at the beginning of this turn, was an important step. Now I need to consolidate this success and translate it into concrete actions. I need to find out what specific proposals she has and how we can work together to improve the situation. It is also important to maintain contact with Halyna Kozak, who helps with medicines, as this is also part of comprehensive care for our patients. My main goals are hospital modernization and retaining doctors. I see that the city is developing, but my hospital remains in a state of stagnation. Action is needed while there is still some momentum.
Options
- Meet with Olena Babenko to discuss the results of her visit and her proposals.
- Send Olena Babenko a detailed report on the hospital's needs, backed by data from her visit.

- Reach out to Iryna Savchuk, the opposition leader, with a proposal for cooperation to solve the hospital's problems.

Diary. 2027-10-10: Finally, after Olena Babenko's visit, there is real hope for change. I proposed a meeting with her to discuss the results. It's important not to lose this momentum. I am keeping in touch with Halyna Kozak, her help with medicines is very valuable.
