Maybe not to bring at all? / Day

As Latvian Television announced last week, the PSKUS has approached such a large number of patients that there were crowded admission rooms and a hallway that turned from two -way due to one -way beds. In addition, the Emergency Medical Service (NMPD) cars with patients had to be parked at the hospital for several hours. Of course, these brigades had brought patients to the hospital who, in the NMPD medical, needed either a broader examination or constant medical supervision. It is quite safe that no patients in the queue had not brought the NMPD brigades to the hospital on a tour.

But returning to the minister's « genius revelation » – in an interview with LTV yesterday Morning panorama He expressed his peculiar reflections: as LETA quoted indirectly, in many cases, patients who do not live in Riga should not be taken to hospitals in the capital, especially if one of them already develops congestion. It is important to point out that this example is not given specific numbers (probably due to forgetfulness) as a possible cause of « congestion », how many such patients, who are « stubborn » in the NMPD brigades, however, « stubborn » from other Latvian places to the capital's hospitals. The delivery of the patient to the particular medical institution is accepted together with specialists of the relevant authority on the basis of the patient's health and potential risks. Given this minister's procession, the only question that comes to mind is that it is much easier not to go to people at all and just not bring them anywhere? Then there will be no rows of NMPD brigades in hospitals.

It is understood that in response to this public scandal and to prevent such situations in the future, by the second half of the year, officials will now work on some regular bureaucratic report on which some amendments to the law will be initiated, which are expected to be first expected. As a result, the conclusion is sad – the government has been restarted.
