Ambulance at the Banjica camp

Abstract

Banjički logor imao je dve ambulante, žensku i mušku, koju je vodio zatvorenik dr Bukić Pijade, ali pod stalnim nadzorom upravnika logora Vujkovića. SS-lekar dr Jung jednom nedeljno obilazio je logor pa i ambulantu . Svaki njegov dolazak značio je izvođenje jedne manje ili veće grupe na streljanje. Lekova u ambulanti nije bilo. Poneki aspirin, po koja injekcija kalcijuma ili glikoze, to je uglavnom bilo sve. Najčešće bolesti su od septembra 1942. do juna 1944. bile: dizenterija, tuberkuloza, reumatizam, zapaljenje zglobova, grip. Bilo je slučajeva angine, jedan slučaj šarlaha, koga su hitno prebacili u pritvoreničko odeljenje Zarazne bolnice. Nemci su se veoma plašili epidemija. U januaru 1943. pojavila se epidemija pegavca, a u samom logoru sprovedene su mere za sprečavanje širenja ove epidemije.The camp had two ambulances, a female and a male one, led by the prisoner Dr. Bukić Pijade, but under the constant supervision of the camp warden Vujković. SS-doctor Dr. Jung visited the camp once a week and even the ambulance. Every his arrival meant shooting one smaller or larger group. There were no medicines in the ambulance. Some aspirin, for which calcium or glycose injection, was basically everything. The most common diseases from September 1942 to June 1944 were: dysentery, tuberculosis, rheumatism, joint inflammation, influenza. There were cases of angina, one case of scarlet fever, which they were urgently transferred to the detainee unit of the Infectious hospital. The Germans were very afraid of epidemics. In January 1943, a spotted fever epidemic occurred, and measures were taken in the camp to prevent the spread of this epidemic
