“Notified from ‘Nagara’ saying he will create a dedicated corona hospital … Nomo cries every day

“Even my mother cries every day because of the story that my father is being expelled.”

The voice on the phone shook from time to time. Mr. A, whose father has been hospitalized for two years at a happy municipal nursing hospital in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, said he felt like he was on the edge of a cliff these days. This is because the Seoul Metropolitan Government has designated a happy nursing hospital where his father is hospitalized on the 8th of last month, saying that he will create a nursing hospital dedicated to Corona 19.

Recently, he said that he received a notice that he had to leave his seat on the 15th, right after the Lunar New Year holidays. It was a good encouragement for the family. Mr. A said: “My father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and had a baby again because he suffered from brain atrophy disease.” Mr. A’s father turns 82 this year. As the disease worsened, he said he was receiving life-saving treatment with the help of a nurse.

Mr. A said that he had waited six months to receive his father at Happy Nursing Hospital. It is reliable as a municipality, the facilities are clean and good, and there is word of mouth among people who have to take their parents to a nursing hospital. When Corona 19 blew up, I couldn’t go see it myself so I rolled my feet in regret. Mr. A complained, “The 79-year-old mother cries every day this year to tell you to go out and create a hospital dedicated to Corona 19 in Seoul.” “If you go out now, it is obvious that you will die on the way, but from the child’s point of view, who will say who will go out with your parents?”

As they were about to be expelled, the guardians, whose parents and other families were hospitalized at Happy Nursing Hospital, formed a meeting. According to the council of guardians, 249 out of a total of 262 guardians of patients submitted documents to reject discharge to the government.

“According to medical law, if a patient requires continuous treatment, unless there are special circumstances, he cannot be turned away,” said Hyun Doo-soo, who is the meeting’s representative. I even have the idea to do it. “He explained. The guards have been protesting against one person since 8 against the city’s policy of” emptying the bed. ”

The current representative argued that “60-70% of the patients are dementia / Parkinson’s patients, and they are elderly people with a grade 3 disability or higher, and although they are different from general nursing hospitals, the city of Seoul asks them get out. “The Seoul Metropolitan Government told me to move to another hospital, but added that the patients had nowhere to go. He said, “Happy nursing hospital patients are people who think they are dying here, and for patients, this is a place like home.” He explained, “In Seoul City, they tell me to move out of the house I come from to spend the end of my life, but it’s like moving alone without a doctor or caregiver.”

He added that it is not easy to find a nurse or a caregiver even when traveling, and that the disease can be aggravated by stress if the environment such as medical personnel and facilities changes due to the characteristics of the patients. He complained: “The time when I couldn’t see my parents because of the crown is over a year.” His mother, who is 89, is in the hospital this year, but visits were banned from the hospital due to the coronavirus outbreak. She said: “At the hospital, ‘Please make a video call,’ but my mother couldn’t speak and couldn’t see my eyes, so the caregiver just shows me through the video calls,” she said.

The guardians decided to give away triplets on the streets of the hospital this New Year with longing. The current representative said: “When I told them to go on vacation, I felt sad. “It is difficult to understand the reason why the patient’s guardian was excluded from the hearing procedure of the hospital dedicated to the crown in this way without ever having had a consultation like this once.” He said: “We must cooperate with government policy with a national principle, but children cannot to abandon the heavenly and human races.”

The director of the Seoul City Citizen Health Office, Park Yoo-mi, announced on the 10th that he would postpone the dissipation measures (discharge, all) taken against patients at Happy Nursing Hospital through an information session on line. They postponed the patient’s discharge measures, which were notified on the 15th, immediately after the Lunar New Year holidays, and expressed their willingness to ‘talk’.

Director Park mentioned the interview with the guards on the 10th and explained that “I will solve the problem through communication.”
He said: “It was an opportunity to hear what the guardians think and the position of the hospital while I had more than two hours (conversation) in the first meeting.” He said: “I am not going to overlook the explanation that patients who have been hospitalized for a long time in nursing hospitals are not just passing hospitals, but have the sense of almost living.”

Principal Park said, “It would be nice to see that the time will automatically be delayed for the part where all patients leave on the 15th. We will try to solve the problems one by one through a lot of communication.
