In Soviet times, he actively worked on the development of tactics for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension.

His scientific data are still used in the medical literature, on which students of medical schools acquire knowledge. Myasnikov Sr. was in a group of doctors who, in last days Stalin's life helped him.

The boy's father was also a good doctor. He became a professor in medicine, but, unfortunately, died at the age of 45. Mom was studying the relationship healthy lifestyle life and longevity. On this topic, Olga wrote several books and instilled in her son the rules of a healthy lifestyle.

The publications tell how to live a long and healthy life in conditions modern world and our level of medicine.

One of the most popular books is How to Live Beyond 50: An Honest Talk with a Doctor About Medicines and Medicine. It easily expresses the idea that one thing is better than any piece of sausage. physical exercise. The author ironically discusses lifestyle modern people and gives hints on how to remedy the situation.

This is his second marriage. current wife and was the reason for Myasnikov's break with his first wife. It is known that the doctor met his second wife at the next social event. She was accompanied by the groom, and he came with his first wife.

After this meeting, Alexander realized that his marriage was crumbling and he was in love with the girl from the party. A few months later, the doctor divorced and proposed to his current life partner. Now they are practically inseparable. His wife accompanies him on all foreign trips.

The couple does not advertise their relationship and find a photo or detailed information about personal life is almost impossible. Married couple has a son, Leonid.

Alexander Myasnikov: children

Alexander has a son. Leonid is currently studying in France and plans to connect his future with medicine. He will certainly continue the work of all the men in the dynasty.

WITH early childhood the boy was interested medical literature and enthusiastically read the publications of his great-grandfather and father. Leonid is a good student and spends a lot of time doing his homework.

Seeing your son as a successful doctor is a dream that Alexander Myasnikov believes in. The family often spends time together, they especially love outdoor gatherings at their dacha near Moscow.

The doctor claims that the main reason for the increase in the percentage of diseases of cardio-vascular system is tobacco. Yes, smoking in our time can drive young people into a hospital bed and even into the grave.

Alexander also claims that daily consumption of half a kilogram of vegetables and fruits per day will help the heart muscle to work many times better and more smoothly. And limiting salt in the diet will help get rid of hypertension or mitigate its course.

The doctor claims that a person who moves a lot lives 5-10 years longer than his antipode. You should also avoid stress and not fall into depression. Morning exercises for 5-10 minutes will help get rid of such unpleasant diagnoses.

Proper nutrition is the key to longevity

According to Myasnikov, the emphasis in the diet should be on vegetables and fruits. It should also contain natural meat and seafood. IN summer time the doctor advises to eat as many greens as possible.

Sausages can be consumed very rarely and only good quality. It is much more useful to eat a piece of boiled or baked meat. Alexander is also an opponent of all kinds of modern inventions of food manufacturers. That is, artificial seasonings and snacking on harmful foods are strictly contraindicated for use by a person of any age.

Oddly enough, just one clove of garlic eaten a day will help to forget about hypertension on long years. Nuts and dark chocolate are also very useful. These foods contain flavonoids and help strengthen the heart muscle.

The doctor focuses on weight control. Obesity leads to hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In his works, Myasnikov describes in detail the effect of each product on a particular organ, both positively and negatively.

Author's Preface

I dedicate this book to my mother - not only because she is my mother, but also because she instilled in me a love for medicine.

Our family is a dynasty of doctors. I don’t know how my great-grandfather came to medicine, but my grandfather really wanted to become a philologist in his youth. Yes, yes, that same famous grandfather - an academician, from whose textbooks more than one generation of Soviet and Russian doctors, whose name is known abroad. At the insistence of his father, a zemstvo doctor, he went from his native Tver province to enter the medical faculty of Moscow University and ... applied for a philological one !!! However, at the last moment he changed his mind (in other words, he was afraid of his father's anger) and nevertheless went to the medical one.

My father was a teenager during the war and, like a real Leningrader, raved about the sea. He entered the naval school, but after he was demobilized from the third year for health reasons, he also entered the medical one. (Unfortunately, his health never improved – he died at the age of only 45…)

My mother, a gold medalist, first entered aviation institute, studied for a year and a half and ... broke her leg! I ended up in the hospital with an open fracture and faced the world of medicine. It was in the hospital that my mother realized that her vocation was to be a doctor! She recovered, took the documents from the aviation and carried them to the medical institute (gold medalists then entered without exams).

By that time, the recruitment had already ended, I had to go to the rector. The rector advised to be patient until next year. But my mother has always been a decisive person; she took a chair, sat down in the middle of the office and said: “I won’t leave here until you accept me!” The rector just shook his head and said: “I love brave girls! But, look, only if there is at least one troika…” Mom answered him: “There won’t even be a four!”. She studied then for one five and for many years worked selflessly in practical health care.

I absorbed my love for medicine not even with my mother’s milk, but with her blood: after graduating from the institute, already pregnant with me, having a father-in-law, an academician, she agreed with the distribution and went to the local doctor in the village of Zaitsevo. One (my father still lived in Leningrad), pregnant, all day long- childbirth, injuries, deaths, illnesses ... Until now, my mother says that this practice helped her all long life in medicine.

From early childhood, I didn’t have the question “who to be?” It was already implied. IN student years I decided to pick up practical experience and went on duty at the hospital to my mother in the department. I still remember that harsh (cruel!) reprimand that she gave me at the morning conference for a small, from my point of view, mistake!

I learned a lesson from this period of my life: there are no trifles in medicine: having become a doctor, you are no longer a person who can afford to get tired, who can make allowances for family relationships. You are a doctor and responsible for people's lives, so either you work according to these principles, or you go home and change your profession!

Years have passed since then, now I have my own behind me professional experience. It shows that many mistakes can be avoided, people's lives and health can be saved if you tell them how the world of medicine works! If you explain what symptoms you need to pay attention to and when to look urgently medical care, and when you can wait and not worry; if you help them navigate the flow of drug advertising and medical services. If we help people to realize the fact that there is no “magic” pill, that much in maintaining our health depends on ourselves.

Dear readers! This book is not a medical reference or self-medication guide! Do not forget that the last word should always belong to your treating physician.

Dear Colleagues! When you read this book, please do not forget that it was written for non-professionals - people who do not have a special medical education. Some things had to be simplified and shortened for the convenience of readers' understanding.

Do not judge strictly!

I. Medicine in questions and answers

1. What do we expect from medicine?

2. What does medicine expect from us?

I am categorically against self-treatment! I understand that people self-medicate not because of a good life, but because medicine is either unavailable or of poor quality. The patient needs health now, and he is not interested in explanations that for some reason something cannot be done.

If the patient does not receive adequate help, he will go to a shaman, healer, grandmother, an accessible doctor, far from the ideal of literacy. The patient will watch TV, read a book, find information on the Internet and begin to be treated. It is not right.

Why do I like to treat foreigners? I tried to slip away if I was called to see a Russian patient. All because our patient will draw his whole soul out of the doctor: how, why, why, and what? Americans are more loyal: they trust the doctor, but at the same time they are sure that if something goes wrong in the treatment, the lawyers will deal with the doctor.

An American patient reads about his problem, studies it. Of course, he asks questions to the doctor. Physicians often do not like such know-it-alls. But personally, it is easier for me with such a patient: he will understand what I tell him about the need for treatment or examination. A person who is focused on the problem makes contact easier.

A person must understand his condition in order to know how to behave in a given situation. Calling a doctor and an ambulance for any reason, we load them extra work. At the same time, relying on the fact that the ailment will pass by itself, and, conversely, not going to the doctor, people run the risk of neglecting a possibly mortal danger. This is what my book will be about.

Below you can find the most frequently asked questions by patients and my answers to them. I tried to make the explanations as accessible and understandable as possible for you. I sincerely hope that this information will help you feel more confident in life!

1. What do we expect from medicine?

What do you think the average Russian expects from our medicine? His expectations are very simple: to receive free and timely quality medical care.

Indeed, despite the fact that we live in this country and these conditions, we have the right to absolutely elementary things. That if we call " ambulance”, then she arrives within a reasonable time and takes her to the hospital where the patient can receive the necessary assistance.

We have the right to expect that if a doctor prescribes a medicine, then it will be at least harmless, and at most also help.

We hope that the doctor, prescribing this or that drug, is guided not only by the concepts he knows, but even by material incentives, but by knowledge.

The patient expects that the doctor examining him will take into account all the symptoms. That the cardiologist will not only measure the pressure and listen to the pulse, and the endocrinologist will not only feel the thyroid gland.

In a word, a person has the right to count on a competent medical examination, which consists of steps that must be completed - a certain algorithm. Unfortunately, life often happens differently.

Sometimes you come to the doctor, and he does not even examine you, but superficially asks and prescribes pills. The patient has the right to receive all the necessary volume of instrumental and laboratory tests, and not to ask the doctor what else he, the patient, needs. Previously, doctors answered many requests that the hospital did not have the necessary equipment, that "we do not do this." But many modern hospitals, at least in big cities equipped with everything necessary. The doctor is only required to follow a certain algorithm of actions.

But here a serious problem arises. For the modernization of medicine in last years a huge amount of money was spent, a huge amount of expensive equipment was purchased. We are proud to say that we have already overtaken Switzerland in terms of the number of tomographs per capita, thus showing the "lack of clothes on the naked king." After all, the level of medicine in our country, as it was low, has remained!

The patient has the right to receive all the necessary volume of instrumental and laboratory tests, and not to ask the doctor what else he, the patient, needs.

It is not enough to buy and install equipment; doctors must be taught how to use it. Abroad, a specialist in the brain is trained for seven years so that he can work on a tomograph, but here they get off with three-month courses! And even these "short-learned" doctors are not enough.

We are fond of buying heavy and complex equipment, we put a tomograph in each hospital, without eliminating huge queues for ultrasound or conventional x-rays. But the saddest thing is the lack of “investment” in doctors. It is absolutely wrong to think that the equipment can do everything.

The concept of "algorithm" has already been mentioned above. With the limited funds at our disposal for the development of medicine, we must prioritize where to spend this money in the first place. They need to be invested in students, medical schools, doctors, who need to be taught the algorithm of actions, certain standards.

But not quite to the standards that you often hear about on TV, there we are talking about the standards of medical and economic. That is, if a patient has inflammation of the lungs, then an x-ray should be taken, a blood test taken, and an antibiotic prescribed. The medico-economic standard is a certain scheme, a list of what should be included in the examination or treatment in a very in general terms. At the same time, the doctor is free to choose an antibiotic, he can prescribe oxygen, or maybe not. He will be guided by his subjective feelings due to the lack of a clear algorithm of actions!

How does it happen in life? The patient has pneumonia. He is hospitalized and placed in a general ward for two to three weeks. Everyone in this ward is given the same antibiotic, droppers are put in, vitamins are distributed ... But it is far from always that a patient with pneumonia needs to be hospitalized, most cases are perfectly treated at home. For some symptoms, hospitalization is indicated, for others not. One antibiotic is enough for someone, two or even three are needed for someone. With some parameters, the patient can be placed in a regular ward, and with others - immediately in intensive care.

Remember the situation from the movie "Two Soldiers", when one of the heroes, having taken possession of a captured Mauser, boasts of how he fired from it. To which another hero asks: “But how did you shoot a weapon when it lacks the most important part?”. "What is the most important part?" M. Bernes, who played Arkady Dzyubin, replied: "The main part of any weapon is the head of its owner!" And this is right, because no matter what equipment is used, there is still a doctor behind it; he interprets the result, decides on the need for research and what information these studies can provide.

All over the world, doctors are guided by well-defined algorithms. The control X-ray is done not after two days, but at least after four weeks. Because the residual effects can be seen for quite a long time, even if the pneumonia has already passed. It is pointless to take x-rays earlier, unless the patient is in intensive care, which is why it is called “intensive observation ward”.

When I talk about standards, I mean exactly the algorithm of the doctor's actions, and not the set of this medical and economic "business lunch".

Under current standards, if an ambulance brings a patient with a stroke, he should not be examined by a doctor in the emergency department. The time factor is so important that the patient is immediately taken to a CT scanner, bypassing all the registration procedures, in order to determine whether he has thrombosis or bleeding. The reason is that the drug, which can dissolve the clot, is administered only in a very short time period.

Therefore, if the ambulance hesitates, if it asks by phone where to take this patient, if in the emergency room they ask for a long time what kind of old woman she is and what her last name is, when she became ill, then everything - the patient can be lost!

The money that the state spends on medicine should go primarily to properly educate doctors so that we can receive qualified help free of charge and on time.

To date, in major cities The doctor earns quite a lot of money. According to official data from the Moscow Department of Health, the average salary of a nurse is 46,000 rubles; The average salary of a doctor is 78 thousand rubles. This money is comparable to those received by a European doctor in a hospital. And this is good!

The bad thing is that "from above" they are required to support high level salaries of all medical workers to avoid complaints. Doctors have no incentive to learn. They are already accustomed to receiving, not earning. Therefore, it makes no sense to increase the salaries of doctors even more! Leveling entails a certain indifference of physicians: “They will give us anyway! If not, we will file a complaint!”

You will say that every doctor must undergo recertification once every five years. Yes, only some go through this procedure honestly, and some - for money. But, even if the doctor wants to pass a quality recertification, he is taught from outdated manuals.

For example, our doctors are oriented to use drugs that have been used for more than 40 years. See for yourself: in the once approved, but still valid standards, there is the drug dibazol. It was also used by my grandfather.

Somehow one of the leaders of our state calls and says: “I don’t feel well, I want to drink papazol, can I ?!”. I wonder where he found this papazol?! I think it was discontinued in the 70s. And it turns out that it is not only produced, but also applied! This is not a joke, this is the truth of life. Therefore, in order to send doctors for recertification, it is necessary to understand who, how and what will retrain them.

You have to start with medical schools. I have repeatedly said that the modernization of medicine will begin five years after we change the conditions for admission to medical universities and the teaching model in them. Five years will pass, completely different doctors will graduate from institutes, and only then will changes begin.

The universal re-certification of doctors, the strictest examinations for knowledge of internationally recognized algorithms and standards for the provision of medical care are vital. Based on the results of the exams, I would set the salary and, in general, the right to work as a doctor. Those who successfully passed such a “sieve” will be leading specialists with a decent salary.

Of course, most doctors will not pass such recertification right away. I would limit the retraining period to five years. Let non-certified doctors work, let them treat, but under the guidance and control of doctors who have passed re-certification, and for a completely different, lower salary than those. Five years later - recertification again; failed again - get out of the profession! This is the only way to save our medicine from non-professionals.

Medicine has no nationality. All people inside are arranged in the same way, and medicine is the same for everything. the globe. If an African doctor comes to you, but does the right thing, then you have nothing to worry about.

It is necessary to introduce individual licensing of doctors. Then the doctor will be personally responsible to the patient and the insurance company. And one more thing: for centuries, doctors had their own language - Latin. Replaced it today English language, so any doctor is obliged to own it, otherwise he will hopelessly lag behind!

I will answer those who have a habit of saying: “Come in large numbers here!”. I believe that medicine has no nationality. It doesn't matter what nationality you are, what color your eyes and skin are, what accent you speak with; what matters is how you heal. All people inside are arranged in the same way, and medicine is the same all over the globe. If a Tajik, Ukrainian or African doctor comes to you, but does the right thing, then you have nothing to worry about. But if more comes familiar look the doctor will say: “I have a special approach” (for example, Russian or Zimbabwean), - here you need to look for another specialist!

In America, most doctors are Indians. Yes, they speak with an accent, but they are competent specialists who provide the very qualified and timely assistance!

In France, medical education is generally approached differently. My son is currently attending there. There is no entrance exam to medical school. They accept everyone with the results of the unified state exams. Everyone is given a chance to get a medical specialty. But at the end of the first year there is a tough selection.

According to statistics, only 9% of those initially admitted to the second year of study pass. For example, the state needs 340 doctors. 3.5-4 thousand students are accepted. Each student has a certain score. According to how he studies, passes exams and attends classes, this score changes: it rises or falls.

The process is monitored weekly. According to the results of the year, the first 340 people are transferred to the second course. All the rest remain "overboard". After that, they can make only one attempt (and not all of them: losers and outright loafers are expelled immediately). If they did not hit 340 again, then more right to medical education they don't have at all.

I think that this is a correct and reasonable system, which should be introduced in our country as well.

For people in public professions who often appear on television - announcers, actors, politicians - it is important not only to have good skills colloquial speech but also take care of your appearance. These criteria are fully met by Alexander Leonidovich Myasnikov, a popular host of the program “About the Most Important” (channel “Russia”), a doctor and scientist who, at 64, boasts an excellent figure and a charming smile.

However, time nevertheless touched the face of this bright man, and when the need to do something became obvious, the doctor did not rely on the skill of make-up artists, but immediately turned to his famous colleague for help. The choice was not accidental: Myasnikova has a long-standing friendship with Ekaterina Sergeevna: she has repeatedly been a guest of his program, where she talked about the latest techniques correction of age-related changes and methods of plastic and reconstructive operations on the face.

The TV presenter visited the clinic of Dr. Kudinova for the first time in the spring of 2017, and closer to winter, all the changes were, as they say, “on the face”. Why did the process take so long and what exactly did the surgeon have to work with? the site became known all the details:

Problem areas: what plastic surgery was done to Myasnikov

The consultation began with a thorough examination of the patient's face and neck, which revealed two obvious aesthetic defects:

  • - it led to a decrease in the cut of the TV presenter's eyes and leveled the openness of his gaze characteristic of him;
  • floating contours of the face and neck - gravitational ptosis of the skin led to the formation of additional folds, and also smoothed the neck-chin angle.

“It was decided to divide the surgical intervention into two stages: first, to carry out, and after the end of the recovery period and evaluation of the results, perform a circular facelift and neck lift,” Dr. Kudinova told us. As it turned out, such an algorithm was chosen due to the conditions set by Alexander Leonidovich:

  • appearance correction should not interfere with the work process (filming a TV show, patient consultations);
  • absolutely unacceptable was any change in facial features or natural facial expressions of the presenter as a result of lifting.

The situation was further complicated by some physiological characteristics Myasnikov Dr. The fact is that he had a special structure of his eyelids, they belong to the so-called. lymphoid type and are characterized by:

  • excess skin;
  • internal median hernias;
  • excessive volume of the circular muscle of the eye.

“There were also nuances related to the general condition of Alexander Leonidovich’s skin - it is quite dense, has lost its former elasticity and resists tension, which means that the second part of the planned appearance correction could be delayed due to the difficulties of the recovery period,” said Dr. Kudinova. “Fortunately, these fears did not come true.”

Blepharoplasty and SMAS lifting: how it happened

The first stage of anti-aging plastic surgery involved an operation on Myasnikov's eyelids: excess skin and hernial formations were removed, and in addition, the surgeon reduced the volume of muscle tissue in this area. Everything went without complications and with minimal marks on the face. Just a week later, despite the protests of Kudinova, Alexander Leonidovich returned to an active life: he flew in a helicopter, went in for sports, recorded new releases of “About the most important thing”. rehabilitation period went perfectly: they disappeared for 2-3 days, a few days later there was no trace of residual hyperemia, and the TV presenter's gaze became clear and open, as in his youth.

The second part of the work age-related changes performed six months after blepharoplasty. Since Myasnikov's skin had a high density, the surgeon was prepared for the fact that there could be difficulties with detachment and flap placement. The operation took place in stages:

  • first, excess adipose tissue was removed on the front surface of the neck and lower part of the chin;
  • further was done circular lift, which also included (musculoaponeurotic layer) and suturing of the posterior edges of the platysma. This made it possible to remove ptosis of the skin of the face and restore the sharpness of the neck-chin angle;
  • All manipulations were carried out using .

Rehabilitation went without a single complication, and today Alexander Leonidovich pleases his relatives, friends and viewers not only with rich knowledge about ways to maintain and improve health, but also with a noticeably rejuvenated appearance.

A best compliment Ekaterina Kudinova’s work was the remark of Myasnikov’s fan, whom he met shortly after the operation: the woman confidently stated that “in life” (that is, after plastic surgery) the presenter looks much younger than on the TV screen, where at that time the old , preoperative esters.
