A health worker, who complained that he was forced to work despite hiring the coronavirus, is in critical condition after being fallen from the window of the Novousmanskaya hospital in the Russian region of Voronezh. It is at least the third case thus in the country, in the last two weeks. The two previous ‘fallen’ doctors died from their injuries.
The protagonist of the last accident, which took place over the weekend, was Alexander Shulepov who suffered a fractured head after falling from the second floor of a rural hospital where he was being treated by Covid-19. To report is the Moscow Times, which quotes the local media. Shulepov, 37, had filmed a video with a colleague in whom he reported that the head of the hospital in the town of Vovaya Usman had forced him to work, despite having tested positive for hyssop, and in which he had also pointed the finger at the lack of protective devices for health workers. In a second video, then, the paramedic dropped the charges, calling them “emotional.”
The colleague who filmed the video complaint, Alexander Kosyakin, was accused of spreading fake news on the virus, a crime that in Russia implies up to five years of detention, according to a recently approved law. Police opened an investigation into the incident involving Shulepov. Before Shulepov, Elena Nepomnyashchaya in Siberia and Natalia Lebedeva in Moscow had “fallen” from a hospital window.
The authorities have opened investigations into both events, although for now they are talking about a “tragic accident”. Labedeva, according to local media, had been identified as responsible for the spread of the infection at the training center for cosmonauts, Città delle Stelle, outside the capital, and, after being positive, she would have committed suicide. Nepomyashchaya, a primary school in Krasnoyarsk, had fallen from the fifth floor while talking to some public health officials. He allegedly opposed accepting Covid patients in the hospital he ran, due to a lack of protective equipment and training of medical personnel.
