[ad_1]

The coronavirus did not bypass the famous architect from Kaunas, who has recently been actively advocating against the demolition of the interwar village in Žaliakalnis, Audrius Karalius. The architect spoke about his well-being and did not hide his resentment; it is obvious that the health system is confused at the moment.

A. The coronavirus was confirmed to King on the last Saturday in October. “There was fever, cough, weakness. I didn’t even know about the contact, I don’t know where it would infect me. In these times of pandemic outside the window, every temperature is alarming. To understand what was happening here, so as not to endanger those around me, I did a test and it was positive, ”said the architect.

The whole treatment is there: you go to the doctor’s Vytautas Kasiulevičius Facebook page, you see who thinks what, you see what the experiences of other patients are …

Although he experienced other characteristic symptoms of the coronavirus, A. King had not lost his sense of taste and smell. “It just came to our knowledge then. How much I have interacted with the sick during that time, we exchange information and our main doctor is His Majesty facebook. The symptoms are very different: the coronavirus is insidious. He, like Putin’s people in Crimea, it is intangible, very diverse, disguised. I taste and smell perfectly, the appetite diminished but it did not disappear. There is a weakness and a low temperature that does not disappear for two weeks – between 37 and 38 degrees “, said A. Karalius about the wellness.

According to the architect, as soon as the virus begins to withdraw from his body, he will rush to perform a new test. “Of course, as soon as the temperature drops and I realize that the virus is already gone, definitely. But so far the temperature is still high. I try to do without chemicals, just tea. The herbalist, as soon as he found out from my illness, he brought his collected herbs. I can recommend what he has given me: narrow-leaved vultures, a whip and dried goji berries, “said the man about the treatment methods.

Information is missing

According to A. King, who was infected with COVID-19, there is a lack of specific, systematic and professional information about the virus on the internet and in society. According to the man, the online presentation dry, but often useless facts. “If you try to find concentrated, in one place the information from the Ministry of Health (SAM) on covid, symptoms, their variety, about home treatment, about possible complications, etc., you will not find such a website. The whole treatment is there: you go to the Facebook page of the doctor Vytautas Kasiulevičius, you see who thinks what, you see what the experiences of other patients are … This is abnormal. Many answers devoured patients could receive four, five doctors like V. Kasiulevičius, literate and able to allocate time, in a self-service way, perhaps even in a question and answer session with professional doctors. Group them in a portal and have a great flow of information. And now we are all distracted by ignorance “, A. Karalius did not hide his resentment.

Many patients do not have the competence to evaluate this information gap that floats on the Internet – if it is correct, verified that the source of the information is competent.

“Many patients do not have the competence to evaluate that range of information that floats on the Internet – if it is correct, they verified if the source of the information is competent. About crown you will find a complete Internet of various materials. However, I’m talking about information that would have passed the SAM filter, with some kind of quality mark. People get distracted, call doctors, travel unnecessarily to medical facilities, overwhelm them with unnecessary contacts and unnecessary problems. I think there is a large reserve here that should be depleted. After all, the Internet gives you the opportunity, being in self-isolation, not to be distracted by the city and participate in the treatment process, ”said the man.

Although coronavirus morbidity records continue to rise, experts say, the hotline is already heating up. People have been feeling particularly frustrated lately that it takes a few hours to call to register for the COVID-19 survey; the line is constantly busy. The architect from Kaunas also faced this problem. It is true that, as he himself stated, the professionals were able to call relatively quickly. “I called in two hours. Alone He was lying over the phone and worked with him. Others said I was unlucky because there are people who don’t call all day. It is a serious problem, there are people and the elderly, and anyway there is stress, you do not know how to behave. And you still can’t call ”, the man did not hide.

However, it seems likely that from now on it will be easier for people to register for the COVID-19 study. Last week, it was announced that all people who have experienced the characteristic symptoms of a coronavirus infection can register for the examination at the mobile point by completing a special form on the website 1808.lt. This will allow residents to complete the registration process more quickly and conveniently, as it will not be necessary to call the hotline.

The health system is confused

For me in part sarmataI don’t know what I’m getting infected with. I mean, I missed a goal somewhere, scared or relaxed

Due to the drop in oxygen in the blood, King A. decided to go to a medical center to transfuse his lungs. “I had a doctor’s referral, a designated appointment. I went to the Fever Clinic. I waited there, it turned out that the x-ray machine was broken. The fever clinic has been debating what to do with me for a long time. Finally he wrote a note and sent it to the former third hospital in Šančiai. There from one place sent to another, it was said that crowns sick people are useless and I have to disappear from there for nothing. He said: go where you want, go home, call the ambulance ”, A. Karalius recalled the words of the doctors.

Still, after long wanderings, the man was led in the right direction. “Then a doctor told me to go to Šilainiai. I went to the 2nd hospital, there again – from one end to the other … In the end – I accepted and said that I had reached where I had to go. It all took a long time. One word, I spent nine hours. From this I conclude that the medical system itself is confused, disturbed, it does not know where to send, the information is contradictory. That should not be the case, “said the architect.

At the end of the conversation, A. King wished for health. “It just came to our knowledge then sarmataI don’t know what to infect myself with. I mean, I missed a goal somewhere, scared or relaxed, ”the man said of the insidious virus.
