The article focuses on the period of the Slovenian War of Independence, not from a military or political perspective, but from the point of view of health workers who often risked their lives to help others. The story of Andrej Fink, who at the time was employed as an ambulance paramedic at the Rescue Station of the University Clinical Centre Ljubljana (UKC Ljubljana), and today is the Head of the Health Dispatching Service at UKC Ljubljana, is the main focus of the article. In March 2024, the author of this article recorded an interview with him, in which he shared his memories of the war and revealed many historical details.
