Sažetak

The review of war occurences in the district of Podravska Slatina The autor reviews war conditions which existed in the territory od Podravska Slatina commune from 4th September to 13th December 1991. In this region the war started with a horrible massacre of civilians in the villages of Balinci, Četekovac and Čojlug. From that time to the relief of temporarily occupied territory in the commune every moment there existed a danger of dying and wounding. Everyday Serbochetnics used to attack Podravska Slatina from Papuk greatly supported by air-forces of »Yugoslav army«. Podravska Slatina survived several bombing with rockets and socalled »krmača« bombs, while shelling was a thing of everyday occurrence. The Health Centre in Podravska Slatina was obliged, as all other health institutions in Republic Croatia, to reorganize itself »in walk« for a completely different conditions. The treatment of patients took place in consalting rooms and a small surgery clinic which, of course, were removed to the basement. So the practice could be done to a certain extent in spite of frequent shelling and air dangers. The teams of doctors, nurses, drives and helpers were formed. Each team had a specific duty in the chain of taking care of the wounded. So one team was responsible for fieldwork, the second one for triage, the third one for slight surgery, the next one for taking care of the psychotraumatisized persons and the like. Our Health Centre used to have its first aid stations in villages of Voćin, Ćeralije, Sekulinci, Gornji Meljani and Lisičine which the enemies used until their retreat. Then they were demolished and set on fire. During the period from 4th September to 13th December 1991 in territory of Podravska Slatina commune 127 persons were wounded, 14 of them deadly. The hurts were sustained during bombings and shellings in Podravska Slatina, and during our operations. It is important to mention that all injures were such that, unfortunately, the wounded could not be helped. Two injured persons could not be reached because the medical staff was attacked, and one person died afterwards in hospital. 87 soldiers members of Croatian Army, i.e. 68,51% were injured, 2 policeman members of Ministry of interior, i.e. 1,57% and 35 civilians i.e. 27,56% and 3 members of enemy formation, i.e. 2,36% who were also provided for after medical and ethical norms. It can be concluded from this report that most wounded were Croatian soldiers, but almost one third were civilians. Most of the wounded were male persons aged 20 29. Injures of bottom extremities were most frequent, as many as one thirt. It is not unusual if we take into consideration perfidy of aggressor and his warring by laying anti personnel, explosive and dispersive mines.
