Premise
The series follows Kirill, a young but highly respected surgeon who is diagnosed with a brain tumor. On the recommendation of a colleague, he visits a clinic known for its unconventional treatment methods. After an examination, the hospital’s chief physician invites Kirill to join the clinic both as a patient and as a staff member.
Each episode tells a self-contained story about one of the clinic’s patients, whose afflictions are not conventional medical conditions but manifestations of demons. According to screenwriter Andrey Zolotaryov, an entire classification of demons was created for the series, with each demon representing a specific illness and interacting with patients in unique ways.https://rg.ru/2022/12/22/vyshel-serial-13-ia-klinicheskaia-klima-kozinskogo.html The series "13 Clinical" by Klim Kozinsky has been released Rossiyskaya Gazeta 2024-03-31
