Eat – They fight for our lives – and we can look over their shoulders!
The new, unique TV documentary “Our Rescuers – Doctors in Action” (Mondays, 9.10 p.m.) accompanies doctors in their everyday lives up close. BILD introduces the stars of the six-part series.
“Operating is a fascinating craft”
Dr. Stephan Feulner (34) loves to operate: “It’s a fascinating craft. The atmosphere, the concentration, you won’t find that anywhere else, ”he says. Dr. Feulner has just become senior physician at the St. Josef Hospital in Essen Werden, which is part of the university clinic. He was trained in traumatology at the university clinic.

Setbacks, deaths, extreme situations – for Dr. Feulner no exceptions, but everyday life. He is often in the emergency room, where severely injured patients are given initial treatment by various doctors. Where to find out what, for example, an accident has caused in the body. Where EVERY decision has to be made quickly but carefully, because it is mostly a matter of life and death. “Especially when things get hectic around me, it is important to me to exude calm so that everyone in the team can keep the focus,” says Dr. Feulner.
A man tries to kill himself with a shot in the head
The scenes he experiences are often very emotional. In the big TV documentary, for example, the emergency doctor brings an 86-year-old man to Dr. Feulner in the shock room. The man tried to kill himself with a shot in the head.
The team is fighting for the life he wanted to take. “If there is no advance directive that enables us to let the person concerned go, then we will do everything we can to save them. It’s hard when you know that the person is old and didn’t want to live anymore. But it is binding for us, ”says Dr. Feulner.
Car accident with two young children – shock room!
Cases with children are particularly close to him. After a car accident, a mother is brought in with her baby and toddler in the documentary. “My daughter is six and my son will only be a few weeks old. When such a baby child seat, which you constantly put in your own car, comes to the emergency room, you swallow first, “says Dr. Feulner. “But if that were my child, all my hope would be for the doctor to put emotions aside and do anything for my child. I’m trying to do the same for other parents. “
The family is for Dr. Feulner the most important anchor. His mother is Greek, he often eats with his parents and his sister, and of course also toasts with ouzo. “My family is the basis for everything I do.”
