Russia is a country of contrasts. While some patients complain of involuntary admission, even with a relatively favorable course of the disease, others can’t get a hospital bed, even with the obvious signs of the disease. Regional social networks are full of tragic “stories of illness”. On what basis doctors select those who are worthy of treatment and who can not pay attention – remains a mystery.
Here are just a few stories from the regional practices. “I have a sick son (26 years). Over 12 days he has a persistent fever over 38 degrees. Everything that made our Russian medicine – ordered quarantine,” writes the mother of Alexei, Svetlana odinaeva. According to her, doctors diagnosed SARS mild. And why would the guy be sent to the quarantine – is not clear. The family went to the provincial hospital in an ambulance. The first clinic refused, and an emergency ambulance arrived only after 6 hours.
of Hospitalization in the end managed to achieve, but only 10 days later. Tests for COVID-19 is still not taken, and the conviction of the mother, her son the necessary drainage of the lung. “How to deal with the callousness and inaction of these nadurata?” – asks the woman in social networks.
the Inhabitant of Perm has told “MK” that she had to resort to personal contacts in health care to her grandpa put in the hospital with pneumonia. His temperature rose to 39 and started shortness of breath. The doctor diagnosed pneumonia and prescribed antibiotics. Test for coronavirus have not done – refused. During the week the condition of the men worsened – medications did not help. Hospital to take the patient refused – no seats. “We managed to agree that he was given a place. The dynamics began to improve when he was assigned specific kovida treatment. The temperature dropped from 40 to 37.7 ” – shared the girl who wanted to remain anonymous.
But the 90-year-old pensioner from Ekaterinburg with a confirmed diagnosis of coronavirus and dementia, was discharged from the hospital without the consent of relatives and dumped near the entrance of the house. According to her granddaughter, Natalia, March 30, grandma was in the hospital for war veterans. May 8, Natalia went to the balcony and saw grandma on the bed with a bloody face. “The neighbor later told me that she had seen about 8.30 the house was approached by “ambulance”. The grandmother dropped off at the entrance, not even ringing the doorbell, and left. But she has dementia, she does not remember the address I do not know. She’s there at the door sat, fell, smashed his face. But if I hadn’t went out on the balcony?” — said Natalia.
Another case occurred in St. Petersburg. According to a local resident, her temperature rose sharply to 38, but the clinic said all house calls take up to 12 cha��s. “At 15:00 I called the hospital, but they said that I should call tomorrow morning. The doctor came without shoes covers, gloves, and even without a mask. I was asked to take the test – you never know where you can get an infection. Said that is not necessary. Even at home are not encouraged to sit,” complained the girl.
the Situation “MK” commented the President of League of protection of patients, the expert of the RAS Alexander Saversky:
– the Status and threats to the health of the patient evaluated by the doctor. But I want to say that if you have the opportunity to be treated at home, it is better to do. Of course, if you obviously need help, it is necessary to insist and complain to the territorial bodies of Roszdravnadzor. Also received many messages that the hospitals keep people who are already healthy, but expect a negative test. While results can wait 10 days. But all the while they occupy a bed.
And what is the situation with patients not cov?
– we are often approached By people with fractures, patients experiencing problems with a cardiac pacemaker, with cancer. The day before yesterday from angina a woman died – the ambulance was traveling more than three hours. And even if arrived to take patients often have nowhere.
In case you are refused, then I advise you to contact the police. We were in the system of dual power of the CPS and the Ministry of health. The CPS acts in its own interests – epidemic. They use the power of the Ministry of health, pureprofile medical facilities to combat the coronavirus, but heaping all routine medical care.
