I’ll buy it
According to 444 information confirmed by various sources, in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, the government office started assigning GPs with the corresponding specialist examination to the András Jósa hospital in Nyíregyháza within 24 hours. Regardless of age. The reason: András Jósa de Nyíregyháza University Hospital – which is responsible for the county’s coronavirus patients as the so-called “primary epidemiologist” – simply did not have enough doctors to be assigned to intensive care units and care for patients coronary.
County GPs know that the only consideration when scheduling an appointment is whether they have a proper professional examination. However, many are at risk among those affected: More than half of the county’s GPs are over 60 years old, and many of them are battling chronic diseases.
Some stakeholders are challenging this solution in various ways. On the one hand, because even if the staff problems of the regional hospital are resolved in this way, a gap will be created in another very important area of health care. According to a local GP, they also play a kind of guard role in the epidemic, preventing an unmanageable number of people from rushing into the hospital’s covid ward. Another stakeholder told 444 that lately there are over a hundred doctor-patient appointments a day in their practice, most of them by phone, of course, and now is flu vaccination season, so the quality of care is severely affected by the attrition of GPs. from the system. Despite the anticipated problems, this doctor saw that there was a state of urgency that had to be resolved in some way.
The staffing problems at the county hospital are so severe that as far as we know there are already psychiatrists and orthopedic doctors in the Covid department, and several GPs can now join.
According to our information, Jósa’s management does not know how long these assignments may last. General practitioners employed by the municipality will continue to be paid by local authorities who have not been employed by the hospital.
The situation in the hospital is really tense, as far as we know, they treat approximately 300 patients with suspected coronavirus or covid, more than a tenth of whom are in the intensive care unit and 27 have been on a ventilator these days.
The general director of this hospital was Gusztáv Adorján, head of the Fidesz faction of the county assembly, who died last week due to the coronavirus at the age of 66 and was treated in the advanced phase of his illness in Budapest.
