The pain is so strong that it can not stand. You can not call, because it stopped for months because of unpaid bills. After suffering three days, with forces finally managed to call an ambulance. More adoption of doctors asked if there is money.
"Money or Life" - a few years ago, the thoughts of blowing thieves with knives in dark alleys or romantic novels robbers since the days of petticoats and carriages. Today, after consolidation of apashkiya business and advance it at European level for most of us "money or your life!" Creates nightmares associated mostly with doctors and health funds - be it black or NZOKavi.
Most feel it but the weakest.
The case of pensioner R. resembles the fate of retired HH presented in our previous issue. The common thing is that once again the country with its institutions play with human lives, the difference this time is that it's not about Heating, and for home health care, who plays with the fate of a man whose place can and will certainly be each of us.
Republic is about 55 years old, lives in Sofia. There is, absolutely alone wife, children, siblings, his parents died. There is absolutely no friends. All he has is studio in miserable condition. He worked as a guard for close to minimum wage, and since money does not come, have dug through the bins in the hope that something might fall. We've seen them - even good-looking people as they pass a bucket, take a look inside.
Like most Bulgarians, the state and capital have done so humble and lethargic. In his free time watching television and R. still a large proportion of single people and poor people - which most people do - reaching for the cup to drown in alcohol joyless their reasoning.
Unfortunately, one evening watching Q. match, the match ended, he became from his chair, staggers and falls. Pop accompanied by severe pain pierces his leg in the thigh. Q. broken femur. The pain is so strong that it can not stand. It can be a phone call because he was stopped for months because of unpaid bills. Who will cry for help. After suffering three days, with forces finally managed to call R. ambulance and taken to the hospital. Doctors still ask him at the time of adoption if there is money. If not, in plaster it and return home - if he's lucky, the bone will heal properly. If no - no. If money remains in the hospital, he will do surgery and he will put a nail with which to secure the bone heal while. Although no money, facing a choice to come back crippled and lonely in his own home where you can serve, R. makes logical as saying that there is money to pay for treatment and so was admitted to hospital . After his operation and make lies two weeks time comes to be written. To stay and work the doctors did not pay because it is insured, but the "consumable" in treatment due to 400 Levs that man is simply no where to pull. These same "consumables" that these days doctors said they would give patients with invoices paid, and then ill have to seek money from the state because the doctors were tired of dealing with bureaucrats, instead of watching medical affairs.
Q. Before however, is not even unenviable opportunity to deal with bureaucrats. There is a vague chance to get extra help from the state if get disability, but he must present medical history of the hospital that refuses to give him until they pay the money.
R. is in deadlock. No money, not give him epicrisis. Can not walk like humans, let alone to work - another "superfluous" man from whom the government wants to get rid of, to deal with his favorite activities - wiped our money under the pretext that they will take care of people by R. HH people like people like us a few more five-year plan or a few more crises.
