But I imagine there are generators. With the exception of cauterizing, it is relatively low wattage with LED lights and infrequent uses of motorized tools.
This is making me wonder, do most people have generators? They are cheap enough in the US. Heating a house is different than having gasoline based electricity, but I can't quite picture electricity being the issue. But hey, I don't work for the hospital.

Most people don't have generators in Ukraine. Let's just say they are expensive. Because many people wanted them prices went up. You can get some cheap generator in US for 3000-4000 watt of power for 300-400 USD. In Ukraine right now 2000 watt generator starts at around 1000 USD. And gasoline is not cheap.. same story with deep cycle battery and invertors.

I live just outside a neighborhood with > $2million dollar homes and those houses pretty much all have generators. The houses in the part of the state I live in are crazy expensive, so the homes in that neighborhood are large, but not crazy since $2 million doesn’t buy a whole lot here.
