How many words of gratitude on the eve of Victory Day was said to the veterans of war, and at the same time these officious and pompous phrases somehow lost the fate of war children who did not receive awards, did not participate in the fighting, but suffered no less than those who fought. And now quietly leaving them the world.
Alexander Schemlёv lives in Shumilino area. Three years caring for elderly vosmidesyatitrёhletney mother, an invalid of the first group. Woman bedridden, suffering from encephalopathy, is a gradual withering away of the blood vessels of the cerebral cortex.
As a former teacher with 37 years of experience receives a pension of 2 million 600 thousand rubles. After reaching eighty years old began to pay extra even a million. A 57-year-old son is designed for the care of his mother and receives from the state about one million four hundred rubles. Nursing requires a special and non-stop. After every 2-3 hours to prevent bedsores patient should be turned to change the situation.
Alexander, what difficulties are you facing in the care of elderly mother?
Except me nobody will feed: a teaspoon of feed for two years. And I sing with a teaspoon. Food cooking should also be a special way: the mixer is not turned off. Everything is crushed. Children canned need meat especially baby food. For example, 100 grams of children canned food (beef) costs 20 thousand. If every day to give – 600 thousand rubles only for some canned food. Buckwheat cook and turns mixer into a homogeneous mass. The same is done with apples, which before it is baked. All this is mixed and turns to mush. Otherwise, it is impossible, because the broken mechanism of swallowing. For all other products of the same thing happens. Such care is time-consuming.
But what about the drug supply? Does the state?
Medications? For example, I spent a course of treatment for a period of two weeks to stimulate the kidneys. The cost of "Furamaga" – 150 thousand, "kanefron" – 162 thousand. Total – more than 300 thousand. It is not paid. We give compensation only if some terrible diseases such as glaucoma, but there is a cure is worth a penny – 20-30 thousand. I give every day a cure for seizures – "carbamazepine", which is paid, but, again, it costs 40 thousand. Pay only medication cheap, but not medicines, which are periodically necessary to carry out treatments. But in any aging man a bouquet of chronic diseases. And the drugs are, as a rule, we do not have available. It turns out that the Belarusian Pharma does not want to treat such patients. For the treatment of chronic pyelonephritis, kidney stones, your medications not.
What about the provision requiring personal hygiene?
Diapers need a minimum of four pieces per day. For this purpose the state allocates for the quarter payment of 2 million 200 thousand rubles. It is 725 000 rubles per month. A month needed four packs (120 diapers), one pack cost about 400 thousand rubles. So consider – 1.6 million rubles per month. In the quarter – 4.8 million rubles. Unaffordable sum turns out to ordinary Belarusian families living in rural areas.
Now think about it: at the beginning of the year package of diapers was worth 230 thousand, and after take-off price – 395 thousand. Almost two-fold rise in price! In January, the state compensation was 1 million 800 thousand rubles, but after the price increase, it grew by only 400 thousand. Feel the difference? Now I need the quarter highlight of our meager budget of 2.6 million rubles, though earlier I used for this purpose only 960,000. Thanks a lot: help to relatives.
The last three years, you are not working in their specialty and are engaged exclusively in the care of his mother. Does for the average Belarusian is any other possibility to help their loved ones who are in this position, as your mother?
I've ridden mother. If I pass very close to me on the social bed, she in a month to die. No one out there like me, her look will not. I can’t do that. Caring for the mother – this is my last duty to it. Because I delivered the State of the additional burden they pay me one million, four hundred, but it is for an adult, physically healthy men? Is it for the money you can live and fully eat?
Over 37 years of service as a teacher mother received from the state 2 diapers a day and 2.6 million pension. To the pension increased by one million, we still had to live up to eighty years abroad, which manages not everyone. This is normal? And that's good, because it is not known what gift would expect from a "socially oriented state" future generations of local pensioners.
The unenlightened families of patients of this kind do not live long, die basically a month or two. Essentially, this is involuntary or forced euthanasia of ignorance. Because I use the Internet, experimenting constantly formed, the mother still lives. And to me that there is no sin.
Tell me how things are we doing to ensure the state of patients with special care products?
From the constant lying released sputum, which need to constantly suck and aspirator phlegm there, and it costs a lot of money. You have to suck ordinary syringe. It is not possible in this country to buy and specialized bed for bedridden patients. It is not possible for two reasons: because of the lack thereof, and in view of the chronic insolvency of the average Belarusian.
It would be possible to organize the rental or lease for the period through existing regional territorial centers like this, at last, made on a wheelchair. We have to suffer from the usual bed. I can imagine what it's worth to those who care for patients who are overweight. This meal for patients and relatives. Social and state amorphous in this issue affects. It seems that about his age, no one thinks. Or expect to die suddenly in his sleep?
Share your experiences about the health care of such patients.
In July last year, my mother dropped the pressure was really bad: breathing is irregular, pulse barely palpable. Call an ambulance. I noticed that when the elderly over eighty, is not particularly want and go. Anyway, do not hurry. Came young doctor examined her, trying on pressure and said: "The pressure is almost not. And what you want – there is a natural process of dying, the time has come. " I called my brother, he's my doctor, lives in the neighboring area. The one and put the young "Professor" brains "Pulse there?" – "Yes." – "Breathing?" – "Breathe". – "Georgia and Bring to the district hospital. Die in the ambulance – then die in the ambulance. Die in the waiting room – then die there. Die in intensive care – so die in intensive care. Pressure is not – lift. You work. Do your job. A die or she does not die – not for you to decide."
It was a year ago! After the incident, the mother of a year lived! They either do not want to work, or overwhelmed? For the life of an elderly person especially to fight nobody wants. Incidentally, in the waiting room told me the same things that I heard from the doctor sooner. To this I answered them to his brother: "Georgia on a stretcher and Bring in intensive care. Die in intensive care – so die in intensive care. And in the intensive care unit she was alive."
They say that the attitude of society and the state to the elderly and children, you can determine what the future holds this or that country. What can you say about this?
The problem is that in our country, doctors and teachers turned the state into officials: they are accountable not to the patients, not to the people, and to the superiors. Performance of their duties they should by no means in the first place. They are engaged in the implementation of the targets, social standards, elections. And you want high-quality medical treatment or a good education – pay the money. The equipment in the area of outdated, almost nothing changes, but – worst – no one needs. Doctors do not need, do not fulfill their purpose.
Why is the ice palaces found the money, and on human health – no? As forty years ago hung on the wall in the office of an eye doctor table to determine visual acuity, so it hangs. And where the modern equipment that meets the standards of the 21st century? I am amazed passive people. As is – so there. No development. Therefore, we are the last twenty years are in the 80s of the last century...
