a native of the Komi Republic 38-year-old Roman Kresevic died April 18. The death certificate stated: “Сovid-19 “unconfirmed”. The death of the man did not enter the official statistics.
on April 23, a man was buried in a closed casket without a funeral service and farewell.
How to bury the dead from coronavirus in the monologue of the deceased mother of Krasevec.
“Roman was born with underdeveloped kidneys. In 2002 he was awarded the first group of disability. The son attentive to the health, dieted, regularly visited the doctor. Three times a week I went to Syktyvkar in Komi Republican hospital for hemodialysis (treatment for renal failure in which blood is filtered several hours outside the body of the patient using the apparatus “artificial kidney). For many years he was one route: home-bus stop-hospital-bus-stop-house of. Most likely, in the hospital, he picked up a dangerous infection.
after another procedure, Roma felt bad. Fever, have a sore throat. We thought, conventional SARS. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and antiviral. By that time in the Republic of Komi yet did not conduct statistics on infected, although the infection was already raging just all silent.
the next day, the temperature of Roma have jumped to 39 degrees. He brought down the temperature and went on a planned hemodialysis. There asked the doctor to do CT scans, ultrasound and x-rays of the lungs – we live in a village near Syktyvkar, in our district hospital of such drugs no. X-rays and ultrasound showed nothing, CT showed pneumonia.
on March 21 he was put in the hospital.
a few days appeared in the media the shocking news that in one of the hospitals in Syktyvkar revealed the focus of infection”.
“I can’t breathe”
“Son to be admitted in the pulmonology Department, which is intended to provide diagnostic and treatment care to patients with respiratory diseases. Roma contacted me: “Mother, here lies a man who walks with me on hemodialysis. He also has pneumonia”. When I asked the doctor about the status of my son, I was told: “Mediocre. Don’t panic, everything is normal, the patient is under observation.”
We are constantly in touch with his son. Every day it became worse: temperature under forty, heavy breathing, increased oxygen dropped to the 70 mark, whereas the normal rate is 100.
the boy has been transferred to the intensive care unit. Hooked up to a ventilator. Took a sample for coronavirus. The test came back negative. I gasped.
three days later, son brought out of a medically-induced coma. Resuscitator reassured that the boy’s condition has improved, he he began to eat, trying to walk.
I was so happy thought had passed.
But three days later Roma again became worse. He was reluctant to speak on the phone only repeated: “it’s hard for Me to breathe.” Our last conversation in mid-sentence. He managed to say: “I can’t breathe.” And the phone’s out.
Son again hooked to a ventilator.
Since then, the doctors in ICU told me reluctantly. Was limited to terse phrases: “serious Condition”. And added: “No telephone conversation”. I shouted into the phone: “How am I to communicate with you, if the hospital in quarantine?”. I was even in the emergency Department were not allowed, I do not have anyone to learn information. I just sat and waited.
18 APR contacted me: “Your son died”.
“the coffin closer banned”
“We went to Syktyvkar morgue, ordered the coffin, clothes. The day of the funeral we have deployed, announced that it has received a new order: the dead buried in a closed coffin, to give three coffins per day in the presence of some Committee. In the end, our funeral was postponed three times. First gave out the bodies of those who died early.
I could not accept that will not be able to see my son. Had been to a local organization for human rights. Tried to get to the coffin opened. How do I know what there lies my son that he was buried in the ground? I refused.
When we arrived behind the coffin, we were asked to wait Commission. Waited 4 hours.
Came three women. The back door made two private tomb – one of mine was Rum in the other, a female former employee of the Republican children’s hospital. Drove two “Gazelle” where they loaded the coffins.
We were forbidden not what to touch the coffin, and even closer to him and especially to go to the “Gazelle”. As he stood in the distance. Although the employees of ritual services and the members of the “observation” of the Commission was in regular clothes, no gloves, masks hung on his chin. Only the pathologist was in a special suit. When the procession began to remove the journalists, one of them told the audience: “Pull all the mask frame”.
At the cemetery, everything went quickly. We were warned that we were approaching the grave. Was hoping the coffin at least for some time will stand on the earth from afar so I could say goodbye. But cemetery workers quickly lowered the coffin into the grave and buried him. Referred to some kind of order that cannot be delayed”.
“the name of the son was not included in the statistics,”
“the hands I was left with a medical certificate about death of the son. Initially, there was just a pneumonia. Then the pathologist added by hand: “Covid-19, virus not identified”. That is laboratory confirmed. The specialist explained: “Until commanded to write it.” During the life test of the Novel was “negative,” although it l��case the doctor questioned the diagnosis and said: “Based on clinical characteristics, the Novel is 99 percent coronavirus”. Goes, diagnosis is not perfect?
We Roma lived together. Even with his disease he could live for a long time. Never drank, smoked, led an active life, collected the computers, everything was done at home. With diseased kidneys lived so long, and the virus killed him in four weeks – just as I have not seen him. And two weeks is not heard.
As I understand it, the death of the Novel not included in the statistics. It’s not “confirmed”. I think, not one he is.
My friend was sick with pneumonia, lay in the infectious diseases unit, the temperature of forty stayed for 10 days, she already wrote a will. Out of the woods. Tests for coronavirus refused negative. Her name is also not included in the statistics had been ill.
After my son died I never got a call, the doctors I observed, the tests did not take. I got to quarantine. Everything in the room washed with bleach. And sick. Not hard, was only observed temperature and labored breathing. Had my granddaughter, we’re all in contact. Of course, our names also not joined the statistics infected.”
