В российских условиях мы наиболее часто работаем "у стены". Нас зовут,
когда люди находятся в тупике, а проблему решать все равно нужно. Советы
друзей, специалистов, никакие другие меры и способы не действенны -" стена"
с обеих сторон. Как тяжело больные хватаются "за каждую соломинку" и еще
надеются на какое-то чудо, так люди приходят к нам.

Moj variant:

In Russia we often work ''at the wall''. People call us, when they are already at the deadlock, but the problem needs to be solved. Neither friends' and specialists' advice nor any other means and measures help: the wall exists on both sides. As a seriously ill person tries to catch at any straw, hoping a wonder would happen, people come to us.

ne uverena v "at the deadlock", "the wall exists on both sides"

[Truth Seeker]

to start with:
1. neither....OR...
2. "hoping a wonder would happen" - hoping for a miracle (to happen)
3. "tries to catch at any straw" - grasp at straws

Also, clutch at straws. Make a desperate attempt at saving oneself. For example, He had lost the argument, but he kept grasping at straws, naming numerous previous cases that had little to do with this one. This metaphoric expression alludes to a drowning person trying to save himself by grabbing at flimsy reeds. First recorded in 1534, the term was used figuratively by the late 1600s.

I retract №1 - черт попутал. sorry

I would call it a dead end. Also, neither is followed by nor, therefore: neither friend' nor specialists' nor any other ... I would also place another 'When' before 'neither'. Finally, you grasp at straws, not catch.

And yes, hoping for a miracle/expecting a miracle.

Truth Seeker: thanks. Either ..or and Neither... nor; I learned it at school, but maybe it is not used like that any more

[Truth Seeker]

Yes you are right: neither...nor (see my second post, I've taken back my comment N1)- too much on my plate right now, зарапотовался :-)))

Ууух, как все сразу накинулись на споткнувшегося!!! Половина присутствующих забыли, о чем речь. Давайте переводите, SmartHeads!

In Russia we often work ''BY the wall''. People call us, when they are already IN the deadlock, but the problem needs to be solved. Neither friends' and experts' advice nor any other means and DEVICES SEEM TO BE EFFECTIVE: the wall STILL exists on both sides. JUST LIKE a seriously ill person tries to catch at any straw, hoping a MIRACLE would happen, people TURN to us

думаете " способы " можно перевести как "devices"?
