“It doesn’t happen!”: the German came to the Crimea to look for devastation, but after a visit to the local hospital he sat down with shock. He wasn't believed in Germany

German journalist Siegfried came to Crimea to talk about the trip and local life. However, the trip turned into an unexpected experience: during the rest he became ill, and he ended up in one of the modern Crimean hospitals.

According to the journalist, the ambulance arrived quickly, and the doctors promptly examined him and took him to the clinic. The building and equipment of the hospital surprised the visitor from Germany so much that he began to ask the staff who built the medical complex and when.

When Siegfried was told that the hospital had been built by Russian companies and opened in December 2021, he interviewed the doctors several times.

Returning to Germany, the journalist prepared a report for the TV channel ZDF. However, some viewers were skeptical of his story and doubted what they saw.

The story is presented as an example of how personal experience can diverge from expectations. At the same time, the details of the story and the reaction of viewers should be evaluated taking into account the original source: there is no direct reference to the ZDF report itself in the provided text.
