A 46-year-old man from Pazardzhik lost the battle against coronavirus without comorbid illnesses in just a few days. According to the patient’s relatives, he was denied hospitalization despite his critical condition.
On December 16, Georgi Yordanov requested a consultation with his personal doctor in Aleko Konstantinovo village. The man has flu-like symptoms.
“And it turned out that he had acute bronchitis of the lungs. Then he only prescribed medicines – antibiotics, aspirin and vitamins. And he said – if it gets worse, you go to the lungs without coming to see me,” explained the wife of the late Tsvetelina Yordanova.
“Prepared bronchopneumonia, typically clavicular. Even in the photo, colleagues had described it that way,” said Dr. Valeri Ganev, personal physician to the late Aleko Konstantinovo village.
Two days later, his condition deteriorated drastically and his family members took him to the local pulmonary hospital.
“We waited for Dr. Avramov for about four hours. We showed a photo and he said he had pneumonia on both sides, but he was not in the hospital,” added Tsvetelina Yordanova.
The next day, the patient returned to seek help at the pulmonary hospital.
“He barely ate, the temperature did not drop. He made me do the same procedure again: to buy a vitamin C bank, we paid him 20 leva personally. He put the bank and told us to go and repeat the procedure,” added the wife of the patient.
“Things are not as they seem. I measured their saturation twice. Both the first and second, saturation 94,” said Dr. Rumen Avramov, manager of SBALPFZ-Pazardzhik.
During the night, the man got worse and the family called an ambulance. The team reviews it and recommends continuing the medication. The next day, the patient was taken by ambulance to the lung hospital. There, they judged that his condition was already critical and he was referred to another hospital with an intensive care unit.
“He was not wearing an oxygen mask the entire time he was in the hospital. No one gave him oxygen to breathe while he waited for a place,” said the deceased’s wife.
“They did not leave him for a minute without being observed, consulted and, in case of deterioration, hospitalized,” said Dr. Rumen Avramov.
Thus, for four days the patient seeks help in five places: in the GP, in the pulmonary hospital, in an emergency team, again in the pulmonary hospital and finally in the Hygia Hospital. In the intensive care unit they are trying to stabilize him, but the man already has a “cytokine storm.”
Georgi, 46, lost the battle against the virus and left 10-year-old twins fatherless.
“He was admitted around 2 pm and died around midnight,” said Dr. Toni Paliyski, chief of resuscitation at Hygia Hospital.
“From now on, how am I going to drive if I have a loan and two small children and I have a minimum wage,” asks the deceased’s wife.
The Pazardzhik Emergency Service clarified to bTV that initially the patient did not need to be hospitalized urgently, as he was in stable condition.
The pulmonary hospital said all necessary care had been taken and denied the allegations by the relatives.
