Doctors from the General Hospital of Novi Pazar, Mithat Music and Mehmed Mujdragic, said that during the kovida-19 epidemic there was “a poor organization of work, there was never a hunger for oxygen and the inability of doctors to help them.”
Anesthesiologist music told Radio Sto Plus that in early April he was accompanied by the first kovid patient, who was transferred from Novi Pazar to the Kragujevac Clinical Center, and “although we did not have many patients then, we were not at all prepared.”
“I remember early in the morning, after the temperature was below freezing, I changed my clothes outside, I put on a ‘space suit’, nobody helped me, and nobody explained to me before how to do it correctly,” he said.
“I know colleagues from the Academy of Military Medicine practiced how the equipment is used every day, and we saw ‘clips’ on the internet about how it is made. I asked for trainings to be organized, so that we would be ready for another ‘spike’, but He was not satisfied. “Then colleagues from other cities came and saw how we work, they were surprised that not all of us were infected,” Music said.
Mujdragić believes that, in addition to the lack of equipment, the spread of infection among health workers was mainly due to poor work organization, ie the absence of “red”, “yellow” and “green” areas.
“One big problem was that during the peak period of patient influx, the KOVID clinic only operated during the day. There was no place to hospitalize them, but they returned home with serious clinical pictures, so they spread the infection. “People, including our colleagues, have been waiting for hours for an exam. This is all a consequence of poor work organization,” Mujdragic said.
He added that most of the patients who returned home, when the General Hospital was declared a regional covid center in early July, contacted doctors with much more serious clinical pictures.
“I worked in the Department of Internal Medicine, which housed 70-80 of the most difficult patients per day, many of whom had to be intubated immediately and put on a ventilator. If we had reacted a little earlier and organized ourselves better, We could have saved many more people. “Mujdragic said.
The hardest thing for him, the surgeon said, was the inability of doctors to help patients.
“That feeling when patients suffocate in front of your eyes and you can’t help them, it kept me from sleeping for days and I can’t erase those images from my head,” Mujdragić said.
Music, who contracted kovid-19 in the second half of June, adds that he had never seen “oxygen starvation in people.”
“I saw everything, but that was the most impressive thing for me. People literally fell and passed out after a few seconds without oxygen connected, the moment we put them in or took them out of ambulances during transport, ”said Música.
He stresses that what hurts him most is the disorganization, the lack of preparation and the lack of staff, which, as he said, have repeatedly warned Meho Mahmutović, acting director of the General Hospital, without success. Both are among the medical specialists who signed a petition to expel Mahmutović and his associates.
“Even if the hospital was fully equipped, and after the epidemic the hospital with the highest mortality is declared, then something is wrong and the moral act would be for the management to resign. If we want to create a progressive society, then we must accept the fact.” that people who play responsible roles in society must bear the consequences of poor outcomes, ”said Mujdragić, thanking the young doctors for their commitment during the most difficult days of the crisis.
Music hopes that Mahmutovic will be replaced after the formation of the new Serbian government, because “he sees no reason why he would remain in that position.”
“I think Health Minister Zlatibor Lončar should be aware that the removal of Mahmutović will not ruin our health system. We know that director positions are a political combinatorial, but bring someone honorable and honest, even a match box. Honestly, a state of course, the General Hospital of Novi Pazar would be about to close because it lacks everything and many things are wrong “, concluded Music.
