According to the woman, she often heard on TV or saw on the internet that there was supposedly no other disease like COVID-19 at this time, but thought the truth was somewhere in between.
The new year began tragically
“I did not really react and did not pay attention to such speeches. After all, our society is divided into two subgroups. Some spread misinformation, others the truth. And who it belonged to, I didn’t know, was more inclined to the truth. So I really didn’t believe that in the event of an accident, you would be put aside because you don’t have coronavirus. “
However, according to the woman, one day something terrible happened. I didn’t expect him to touch the whole family so much that he would have to go find the truth, think that there really was no other disease than the coronavirus.
“Only one person close to me, that is, my grandfather was sent to myriop literally. It all happened in 2021. On January 2, the new year just started tragically. My grandfather was delivered to the Vilnius Republican University Hospital with an ambulance.
He was accompanied by my mother, that is, his daughter. During the examination of the patient, the surgeon on duty diagnosed bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract and the grandfather was admitted to surgery department I of the hospital. “
The granddaughter noted that in 2021. January 3, the grandfather underwent a blood transfusion, and in 2021. January 4, a weakened and barely stable grandfather was prescribed for further outpatient treatment at home.
“Although he had difficulty breathing and was in poor condition, the doctor did not take this into account and prescribed an outpatient treatment for his grandfather. There is no hospital treatment for 2 days. Because the grandfather was discharged from the hospital in poor condition, in 2021. January 25 around 1 pm he was again taken to the hospital by ambulance due to difficulty breathing, poor general condition (of which he was discharged as a healthy person). The companions are two daughters, one of which is my mother. The companions left their contacts, that is, their mobile and home phone numbers. “
According to the woman, that same day, her grandfather was diagnosed with severe cancer with lung metastases. At the time, he said, when his grandfather was in the hospital for the first time, the doctor did not even suspect cancer.
“After he was diagnosed with cancer, the grandfather, without informing his relatives, although the relatives called the hospital, tried to find out the situation, what they did to the patient, he received no information. The hospital promised to contact, but did not, and the grandfather was transferred to the Šalčininkai nursing home, which is more than 50 km from Vilnius, while there are at least some nursing homes in Vilnius. Do you believe what you read? Sent to death 50 km away. “
fighting, you will simply be banished “data-caption =” Granddaughter’s cry for help after grandfather’s death: if you don’t fighting, it will just banish you “> fighting, you will simply be banished by “width =” 580 “/>
I couldn’t believe the doctors’ response
“When we asked the doctors why he didn’t treat him, why he didn’t send him to the oncology department in Santara, we got the answer that Grandpa is already too old. He is 75 years old. Also, Lazdynai Hospital does not treat people with cancer diseases, and Santara is overcrowded and now only treats COVID-19 patients. I can’t believe a man who took the Hippocratic oath says that he must save a person’s life, whether he is 10 or 75 years old. “
2021 On January 26, 2021, says the granddaughter, finally after the mother’s morning call to the hospital, she was informed that her father in January 2021. On January 25, at approximately 9:00 p.m., he was transferred to the Šalčininkai nursing home.
“This is at least the immoral behavior of the hospital, which violates ethical principles and the right of the patient’s representative to know about the transfer to the Šalčininkai residence on the same day, and not when the patient has already been transferred. provided medical records after last visit for diagnosed cancer.
It is also unclear why the grandfather was not transferred to the Vilnius Santara Clinics oncology department for further treatment, but instead was transferred to Šalčininkai, where he will not be provided with adequate medical assistance in an attempt to save human lives. For this unilateral act of the hospital, the patient is sentenced to death. It literally drove me to die. But the worst thing is that without our knowledge. “
“If not fighting, you will simply be exiled, the devil knows where, and yet the relatives do not know. It hurts me, it hurts me, angry that in my country, which I love, where I work, where I gave birth to a child, where I am a decent person, they simply betrayed me ”, he assured.
He also reported that on February 1. Grandfather died in the morning.
RVUL: The country’s health system resources are limited
Representatives of the RVUL said they were aware of the situation and regretted the situation, but noted that the resources of the country’s health system are currently limited.
“The situation you mentioned regarding the sending of a patient for hospitalization to the Šalčininkai District Municipal Hospital of the Public Institution is known. We humanly understand and regret that it has caused negative experiences and additional concerns to the patient’s relatives, who did not immediately receive information about sending the patient to another city in the Vilnius region for therapeutic treatment.
When referring a patient to another institution for hospitalization, we always strive to inform family members. Unfortunately, sometimes there are situations where you can’t call right away, as happened this time, and then when a new influx of patients arrives, the staff always choose to provide real help rather than talking on the phone.
RVUL’s Emergency Department provides the necessary assistance and receives the largest number of applicants in the entire Vilnius region, even in pandemic conditions. Treatment is determined on a case-by-case basis, with the reason for contacting the Emergency Department and the condition of the patient at that time. We assure you that we never classify patients according to age groups or other subjective criteria. We cannot comment on the clinical condition of a particular patient without the written consent of the patient.
Although we are always looking for the most convenient institution for patients for hospitalization, this time in Vilnius, unfortunately, it did not appear. We explained that during the quarantine period, the Hospital Therapy Department was expanded from 30 to 60 beds and currently only cares for patients infected with COVID-19.
The hospitalization of patients to another hospital is coordinated with the institution that organizes and coordinates the provision of services in the defined area. This institution has all the information about the possibility of hospitalization of the patient in the medical institutions of the Vilnius region. The patient is transferred to the institution of the Vilnius region, which at that time has vacancies, the necessary infrastructure, the necessary staff.
We understand the discontent and anxiety of our relatives, but the resources of the country’s health system are limited, especially in this difficult time of pandemic and universal quarantine, so it is not always possible to hospitalize a patient in the most convenient place for their family. members, “Delfi said.
