Patients wait for treatment and diagnosis in the Russian Eye and Plastic Surgery Center in Ufa, Bashkortostan, Russia. The hospital is run by Ernst Muldashev, a writer and surgeon who claims to have invented a medicine and technique using "alloplant" to cure a variety of illnesses, syndromes, and diseases including blindness. Alloplant is derived from human cadavers. Muldashev is a widely-read author of books about the origin of man. The books, widely read in Russia as science ficition and read outside of Russia primarily by new age and conspiracy theorists, claim that man is descended from aliens or giants. Muldashev claims to have found evidence of this on exploration trips in the Himalayas. Muldashev's medical work is widely regarded as fraudulent by outside doctors. His cure for blindness has been shown to be a fake.
