He is socially inept (he always gets himself beaten and tricked by his patients and colleagues) and has trouble making his opinion heard. He also considers himself Bykov's favourite. Levin graduated from university cum laude and believes that he is by far the most intelligent and medically gifted of the interns.
Boris "Borya" Arkadyevich Levin ( Lithuanian: Dmitrijus Šarakojis) is another intern. In the latest episodes he works in the receiving department and rarely appears in the series. In the 180th episode, Lobanov's daughter has been born. Lobanov's reluctance to quit smoking or drinking led to a rift between him and his wife, and the two filed for divorce in Season 3. The two of them had trouble conceiving a child, and it was revealed that Lobanov's slow-moving sperm were to blame for this. At the start of the show, he was the only married intern and his wife, Olga, was a lawyer (in one episode, it was mentioned that she graduated cum laude). Lobanov often tries to make some money on the side, indulging in somewhat illegal or morally ambiguous activities and always fails due to his irresponsibility and laziness. He is a former boxer ( master of sports) and in one of the episodes he engages in a boxing match with his patient while the staff of the hospital make bets. He is often violent, having no qualms about hurting people, particularly those who annoy him. Semyon Lobanov: He is physically big, and often intimidates people (most often his fellow intern Levin). His fetishistic love for his bike, Izolda, and a plant, Igor, sometimes proves useful to the interns in emergencies. Bykov is a former biker and is still known in that environment as "Lizard" (Ящер рус.) in several episodes we can see his biker-pals, like "Boar". Bykov has a 20-year-old daughter, Alisa, from his previous marriage and in the 180th episode, Bykov's son Ilya is born. Bykov is very fond of video games, which is often used for comic effect. His relationship with Dr Kisegach has later caused problems between him and Romanenko. At the beginning of the first season, it was mentioned multiple times that he is a recovering alcoholic (for example, when he is criticised by his best friend, Dr Kupitman, for being less fun now that he is sober in episode 1), but he has since been seen drinking, suggesting that this storyline has been dropped. While he does often say that he hates being in charge of the interns, when asked to fire one he could not pick one, claiming that they were all "equally bad". Andrey Yevgenyevich Bykov ( Ivan Okhlobystin) is the sarcastic and cynic head of the therapy department, who combines some features of both Perry Cox (from Scrubs) and Dr House (from House M.D.).The group includes four young inexperienced medical interns, who constantly get into troublesome situations, their mentor Andrey Bykov, and the hospital's staff.Įvgeny Nevsky, Milan Kilibarda, Radda Novikova The sitcom follows a group of people working at a hospital. 5 The prohibition on display and distribution in Ukraine.
