the doctor looked at a fiercely feverish and rash teenager in the field

“And I have short sleeves”

The woman said that on March 9, the 15-year-old son rose the temperature and began to grow it after a day.

« It turns out that chicken pox. The temperature did not drop, the rash increased. The next day, the son felt that it was difficult to breathe. After contacting her doctor, she advised her to monitor the condition and seek the hospital as teenagers at that age overcome the disease and often complicate pneumonia, » her mother recalled.

On March 12, when the temperature rose to 41 degrees, the woman and her son urgently went to the Regional Telšiai Hospital Reception Unit.

« When we went to us, the receptionist registered and asked for his son to retreat a bit. The son retreated (I had no objection to the receptionist, a pleasant lady). Then I was immediately at the box, a doctor who appeared in handwriting and saying » Go, go « . – I listened behind, and will not drive him out and look at it with that temperature outdoors. Her answer was – yes, and I was short -sleeved. ”

The interlocutor claimed that such a situation was incomprehensible to her.

« We were told to go to Šiauliai or Klaipėda. According to the doctor, it is very contagious, the virus will settle everywhere, there are many people (there was one baby, about ten people in the hallway).

When the man arrived, the family went to the administration department. « The attitude is the same. The man asked to be taken, but the deputy replied that the child’s condition was not critical. He did not even see the child, but apparently the doctor decided that chicken pox without complications. I was described as a very aggressive mother, » she said.

The family left the hospital and the son’s temperature started to fall, but later jumped to 39 degrees again. The family turned to the doctors and was referred to Šiauliai Hospital.

« The temperature was not much, only the son was very sweaty, and the blood pressure was 169/112. He placed his son to the hospital: he prescribed two antibiotics, drips. After six days, he released four days later, » she said. « I wrote a complaint to the ministry. It does not change, it is unfortunate that such a humility. ”

It is a pity that the situation does not change, it is a pity that such a humility.

Not the first time

The woman claimed that her son was not treated at this hospital for the first time.

« This situation shocked me, so now I chose not to be silent. 15 years ago, when my son was a newborn and complicated jaundice, he was barely driving to the graves, we were asked. Then he was another doctor, but he said he had no place to put such a child. For the child, it was discovered for me after 15 years.

Laura said she had already been in contact with a doctor who had examined her son in the field. « Last year and my daughter were in the hospital. The doctor looks a warm person, but then he did not heal, fell, and his daughter Streptococcal infection was, » she said.

The son, according to the interlocutor, is already attending an educational institution at the moment, but the physical education lesson has yet to be fired.

The hospital admitted – the doctor took the patient to the field

Representatives of the Regional Telšiai Hospital told Kauno. Diena.lt that the situation is known to the hospital administration and is currently undergoing internal inspection, so they cannot comment in detail at the moment.

« We can assure you that neither infectious nor non -infectious patients have outdoor examination. Patients are inspected in patient examination cabinet or insulating ward. The insulating ward is primarily directed by patients with symptoms of infectious diseases. In the space, the patient had a number of patients at the Emergency Medical Department.

They pointed out that chicken pox (Varicella Zoster) spread very quickly, ie the airborne infectious disease. « The patient in this case suspected of chicken pox should have been applied to patients suspected or with infections, which are transmitted through air (particles) and may be transmitted directly (touching the patient) and indirect (touching the patient’s nursing objects and environment) during contact. The hospital, when he saw a young man in the common space, asked the doctor to talk to the young man, taking the young man’s hand, identifying the pulse, identified the patient’s condition, This information is also marked by the patient’s medical records. There is no department of infectious diseases in our institution, so input inpatient treatment, children are directed to the nearest hospital with an infectious disease unit. This was also recommended in this case. Of course, in children, all parents face great stress and often lead to stressful situations. It is a pity that doctors often have to be treated, but also to ensure the safety of other patients. The disease season is not over yet, so let’s keep each other and be healthy. ”
