Nurse Solter...again

GlennM:
Nurse Solter's recollections have been a source of conversation and confusion in the forum for quite some time. It occcurs to me that her report regarding the number of victims, the condition of their clothes, their gender, the treatment of their bodies ( including the autopsies) might be resolved by checking a primary source; the medical records. She may well have combined different incidents. I suggest learning if the medical records exist. Do they support her observations? There is a paper trail for each casualty that goes to hospital. There is a paper trail for all post mortems. There is a paper trail for the acquisition of burial clothes.Her testimony would be better appreciated in light of these findings.

It is curious too that the medical examiner had not been approached to recite his version of the events. With the increased notoriety of the tragedy, I would believe he would have shared his recollection with colleagues and perhaps in later years, family. They, who survive and remember would be of service to the forum.

If her recollection was faulty, the pathologist who performed the procedure can not be in two places at once.

Axelrod:
I watched this interview with nurse Solter on video, and it seemed strange to me.
First, she says that she remembers these tourists well at the bus stop in Ivdel.
Then Navig shows her all 9 photos, and the nurse asks in surprise:
"What, all these people died?"

It seems that she did not recognize anyone. Even if we assume that she saw only trips.

GlennM:
Thank you Axelrod,

I believe all her testimony should be verified by offical records. There is good reason to discard confused mixed messages from Nurse Solter. It was long, long ago and  she had no obligation to do anything except as instructed. She was not obligated to remember anything. Too,it was not the only thing she would do in one day, or any day of work. We are better off if we know the official reports and the testimony of other reliable sources.

Does anyone in the forum find a photo or a report of the clothes of any of the victims being particularly soiled? For that matter, how about th3 bodies themselves. I find nothingnin the superficial examination that alludes to dirt, mud and like on their bodies. You might think there would be some mention of this if any of them fell in water and got out again. What about those felt boots?

Axelrod:
It seems to me that the correspondent Vadim Chernobrov himself does not remember well how many people were in the Dyatlov group, and where they were



CHERNOBROV: At least one man was not in the tent at that time, but was
outside the tent. There were at least 4 guys and 4 girls in the tent.

I suspect that she learned about 11 people from him.

As for the dirty ones, nurse Solter was from the Lviv (Lvov, Lvuv) region of Ukraine, where I am now. I have encountered a situation several times on the train, when women call tourists dirty for no reason. They made the same comments to tourists from the Czech Republic. Perhaps this is a feature of the Ukrainian language.

Perhaps, this is about tanned tourists. As we remember, the tourists were orange.
However, the nurse does not remember the orange color.

GlennM:
I wonder what original hospital records remain. I wonder where specimens went.
