Klaipeda’s Emilija, who did not receive the necessary help during the quarantine, says that she doesn’t even want to try to find her now, because she doesn’t want to be hurt further.
“If I get nervous, with a bad heart, the heartbeat starts, I’m waiting and I don’t know what … A man must be examined after hepatitis C, we are afraid again.” I didn’t expect the time to come, and the family doctor didn’t even advise me on the phone, “the 66-year-old woman comforted herself.
He said he had seen a doctor even before when the man had a sore throat, but that he only offered to buy pills.
Hospital
“Her throat ached for the second week, she called to ask what to do. The sister said it was a sign of coronavirus. Okay, the call to the hotline is logged, only then do I call again to ask if it is negative, she will accept.
The answer is no. I started talking out loud about what to do, saying I would buy “throat” at the pharmacy. She took the medicine for a week without any results, well, that the niece had a few antibiotics left, she exploded. It is called self-medication and what to do? “, I ask.
“Good patients” don’t go to the doctor
Emilia said it was time to visit herself, but this year there were no blood tests.
“Before sending, a blood test should be done for both a cardiologist and a man to detect liver enzymes. Therefore, immediately after the New Year, we were in no rush to do research according to the schedule, and we went much earlier when we needed to see a specialist.
He saw at least a general blood test, a cardiogram, and now empty-handed … Since when do you give those referrals or with last year’s tests? “, Said.
The woman said she had never been to a family doctor before this year: “Good patients, as one doctor told me, are those who do not visit. Apparently we are like this …
According to Emilia, everything depends on the medical institution where it is registered.
“The niece was also ill, took blood and was prescribed medication, which means that everything depends on the medical institution,” the woman emphasized.
According to her, the only way is to go to a private medical institution.
Sore throat
“It is good that a man’s doctor, a gastroenterologist, works in a private setting, and my cardiologist has had to do it more than once and this time there will be nothing new.”
Only a man’s psyche remains complex, he quickly panics when the liver is malfunctioning. Then the thought changes, very scared. Okay, at least that good psychiatrist is available and it’s time for a quick consultation. I hope it doesn’t delay, “said citizen Klaipėda.
The consultation waits several months.
Uncertain about when he will get the head, he told me that there was a family from the Kaunas district raising a 10-year-old son, Martynas. The boy’s mother complains that he is still unable to register the child with a pediatric endocrinologist.
“My son has type 1 diabetes. He needs an endocrinologist visit every 3 months. We checked in mid-March. Only in quarantine. The visit was canceled.
Unfortunately, during the quarantine, the son became quite ill. We do not receive any help, although we are at risk. However, he only consulted by phone. We do not request consultations. And now that quarantine has been lifted, endocrinologists are still not working, “said the boy’s mother, Erika.
According to the woman, sending a family doctor doesn’t make sense because there is simply no one to send it to.
“The doctor who supervises us is not working. Like, by the way, other doctors from the Kaukas Clinics Department of Pediatric Endocrinology. Just don’t accept patients.
According to her, although her son’s condition is not serious, she needs the advice and attention of an endocrinologist such as a diabetic.
Does everything but “tied hands”
Kaunas Clinics stated that everything is being done at this time to ensure that all patients receive the necessary health care services and gradually increase the workload.

However, it is difficult to predict when hospitals in Lithuania will be able to operate at a completely normal pace.
“If an outpatient service, such as a specialty consultation, has not been provided to patients during quarantine and the referral to that service is no longer valid, patients should reapply to their GP and receive an electronic referral .
The specialists from the Kaunas clinics contact patients whose surgeries have been postponed due to the restrictions caused by the quarantine and assign them a new date for the operation, ”reads the response sent to the portal.
The extent to which services can be upgraded is provided.
The tv3.lt portal recalls that medical institutions providing planned outpatient healthcare services have been instructed to start providing at least 80% of services in July. of all the services planned to be provided.
In hospitals, the volume of scheduled hospital services should be increased to at least 70% in July. Volumes of inpatient rehabilitation services of up to at least 70%. of all planned services that will increase in August.
These indicators have been established by the decision of the Minister of Health-State, Manager of State Emergency Operations, Aurelijus Veryga.
