The ambulance crew began the resuscitation, which was then continued by the employees of the SOR Prague Hospital. Unfortunately, after a rescue operation at the SOR, the doctor found death.
After information from the TVN Warsaw editorial office, the Ombudsman for Patient Rights took care of the case.

In connection with the signal about this event, the Patient Rights Ombudsman applied to the hospital for explanations » – told TVN Warsaw Katarzyna Wolska from the Office of the Patient Ombudsman.
