Candles will be lit in Šiauliai in memory of a doctor who has retired from life

Professor Vytautas Kasiulevičius wrote about the planned action on the social network Facebook on Wednesday evening and promised to do the same in person.

The Delfi portal wrote that the doctors at said hospital were overwhelmed when the hospital banned colleagues who had come to cry.

“It was forbidden to cry to the doctor during the first five minutes of the hospital. Photographs of the dead and candles are forbidden in the hospital, “his medical colleagues told the Delfi portal.

According to Sonata Tenytė, public relations representative of Šiauliai Hospital, the hospital does not prohibit bereavement, but after consulting with specialists, we try not to further aggravate the current situation.

“Only a recommendation from specialists, psychologists, psychotherapists in such cases, when a person commits suicide, so as not to exacerbate in any way the already difficult situation with photos of the deceased person and the like. That something is maliciously forbidden is certainly not the case.

Yes, we considered how and what to do, but after consulting with psychologists and psychotherapists, we decided not to aggravate the whole situation. We express our deepest condolences to the family and colleagues who worked with her. Psychological help and counseling is provided, both group and personal. It is probably understandable that there is a difficult situation in the hospital. But so that the hospital management does not allow or maliciously deny the fact, I really ask that it be understood that this is not the case, ”said S. Tenytė.

The news about the retirement of a young anesthesiologist-resuscitator at the Republican Hospital Šiauliai spread this Sunday on social networks.

Lithuanian doctors on social media expressed their condolences to their relatives and began to speak out loud about harassment in hospitals: huge workloads, enormous responsibility and psychological pressure from managers.
