The mother of the 2-month-old baby with COVID-19: Falsehoods circulate without my knowledge – Hospitals

Media reports of “a 55-day-old baby with KOVID-19, left for 10 hours without examination and treatment locked up with the mother” are not true. This was stated today by her mother Veneta Gaitandjieva from her hospital room at the Infectious Diseases Clinic of St. George Hospital EAD-Plovdiv. He found out about the posts only on Saturday.

I want to apologize to UMHAT “St. George”! Without my knowledge, distorted facts are being disseminated in the media, which directly accuse the hospital doctors of non-existent guilt. Yesterday I saw what was written about our case and I was horrified, ”said Maya’s mother, who is 2 months old today. My daughter has a positive coronavirus test, but she is fine, said Veneta Gaitandjieva from Yambol.

He said that on Wednesday, November 18, 2020, the baby’s personal physician did everything possible to get him to the St. George Hospital in Plovdiv, because it was not possible in a hospital in Stara Zagora. On Thursday around 1 pm they arrived by ambulance at the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the University Hospital “St. George” – Plovdiv.

“They immediately accommodated us in a room and did not leave us on the street. It is not true that we were locked up with the baby,” Veneta Gaitandjieva is categorical.

His daughter did not have a fever. “They turned on their systems later, but it was by no means 10 o’clock. My son was not in serious condition. We really had to wait, because all the staff were obviously busy with very serious cases, “said the mother.

She insists that she “neither yelled nor knocked on the bedroom door.” “There was no reason, the child had no fever,” explained the mother, who was then placed in a separate room with the baby.

Meanwhile, Veneta Gaitandjieva spoke with her sister on the phone. She informed him so he didn’t have to worry. “A friend of my sister is a journalist, she found out about my case and posted on social media. The facts in it are embellished, they sound dramatic, but they are not true. She probably wanted to help. As a result, however, the whole hospital went humiliated and blamed ”, laments Veneta Gaitandjieva for the misunderstanding.

“The truth is that we are surrounded by warmth and affection. And doctors and other employees work twenty-four hours a day. I see the same people in spacesuits. They should be on duty for 2-3 shifts without a break, “thinks Veneta Gaitandjieva.

He said he had not spoken to representatives of patient organizations. The journalist’s publication was eliminated, but the information about it has already been multiplied by the media.

Veneta Gaitandjieva assured that she did not send a signal to the Ministry of Health, as stated in media publications.

“The child is in a satisfactory state, afebrile, without signs of respiratory failure, without signs of intoxication. He receives the necessary treatment,” said associate professor Dr. Oliana Boykinova of the Infectious Diseases Clinic at St. George University Hospital.

Once again, the management of the medical institution calls on all media to be more careful and cautious when spreading or using statements and materials from social networks, which often contain direct attacks and extremely negative evaluations of the activities of medical institutions and frontline workers with COVID. -19.
