About

The main character of the series is the ambulance doctor Oleg Samarin. Friends and colleagues call him Samara. A rebel and an upstart, he argues with his superiors, makes jokes about colleagues and patients, and breaks all the rules and regulations! But Samara gets away with everything. He is a surgeon from God! Every day Samara and his team (paramedic Lena and driver Mikhalych) help people. Oleg’s patients are a motley gallery of characters and destinies, and sometimes Samara has to treat not only their bodies, but also their souls. But Samara himself has something to hide... Samara has a secret, the disclosure of which threatens him with the loss of his favorite job. But, as they say, everything secret comes out someday...
