Doctor Visolajský picked up the numbers: This doesn’t work out! Have the devices or people disappeared? – Tops

A well-known doctor pointed out that in the last wave Slovakia managed to treat 394 covid patients on artificial lung ventilation, today the ministry says that we already have a serious capacity problem with 258 patients on artificial lung ventilation.

“There are only two options, either one of our hospitals stole more than a hundred expensive devices for artificial lung ventilation, or too many experienced doctors and nurses who operate these ventilations have left our hospitals,” stated. At the same time, he asks if we will just shrug if hundreds of medics have left our hospitals since the spring and the Minister of Health has done nothing about it all year.

Would it happen in the army during the war?

To better illustrate, Visolajsky used an example of what it would look like if the army were to do the same. “For years, we would have heard from our soldiers that we have a weakly secure army, that there are few of them and that they have bad conditions. But the government would tell them, let them just work, that they need to save. “With their feeble undersized troops, they repulsed the enemy’s attack, but the war would not end and the enemy would prepare its army for a new attack. stated.

According to him, the soldiers would shout that a new attack will come soon, but there are few of them and another will be lost, and that they are afraid that they will not defend our country in this way and that we must prepare the army for a new attack. However, the commander of our army would tell them that now is not the time for their problems, because there is a war. In addition, he would address words that their mission and duty is to keep their mouths and fight the enemy. In addition, it would prepare a reform, which should result in a reduction of the army by 38 percent.

“The whole year that the enemy was apparently preparing his army, our commander did nothing for our army, just walked around the barracks and persuaded them as fewer barracks needed. So many of our soldiers left the army and those who remained kept warning that they were The soldiers therefore turned to the prime minister, but he did not find time for them, and for almost 4 months he claimed that he was busy and could not meet them. “Our country has spent a year debating how many barracks we have. Although the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland have more,” continued the example.

At the beginning of autumn, an enemy attack with an even stronger army arrived. “But the commander claimed that our barracks were better prepared for a new attack than in the winter. who still stayed here and who voiced concerns and demanded roadblocks in response to his duty to fight without a break until the last life, “ Visolajský continues to compare.

“The enemy advanced quickly because there were no roadblocks at the borders. After three months of fighting a strong enemy army with our exhausted army, our commander declared that the defense of our homeland was developing catastrophically and a humanitarian catastrophe awaited us.” he added that we had tanks, artillery and fighters in the hangars, but there was no one to operate them.

According to his own words, he cannot imagine such a situation in the army and war. “And in the pandemic and healthcare?” he is asking.

Problem with lack of staff

People from the field of healthcare have been drawing attention to the problem of staff shortages for a long time. At the end of September, Marián Petko, President of the Association of Hospitals of Slovakia, stated that hospitals are better prepared for the third wave of the COVID-19 disease pandemic than for the second wave. The problem is the missing staff. This has already been shown in the second wave and is now only being confirmed.

At that time, the Ministry of Health asked doctors to stay with the patients. They also pointed to the planned reform of hospitals, which is to bring better conditions. They are said to do everything to improve their financial valuation.
