“What we feared the most has also happened: there is a problem with places in the hospital, with places in intensive care,” warns Dr. Lidia Stopyra, head of the infectious diseases and paediatrics department of the Żeromski in Krakow. “We have reports that due to the lack of places, the patient died in front of the hospital” – said in the Onet Morning program.
“The situation is very difficult” – admitted Dr. Lidia Stopyra in the Onet Morning program. «In fact, the number of infections is increasing day by day. Until recently, we had several hundred of them a day, now there are several thousand ». As she emphasized, “what we feared the most has happened”. «There is a problem with places in the hospital, with places in intensive care. We have reports that due to lack of places, a sick person died in front of the hospital, probably in Nysa ».
In the opinion of Dr. Stopyra, we may be in the same situation as Italians a few months ago, when people died at home, died in the streets because there were no places in hospitals. «It is not only a question of equipment, but also of people. Medical staff is needed with every ventilator! ».
– I do not know if the military should help, but we are at such a point of the COVID-19 pandemic that we have to make quick decisions to get the situation under control – emphasizes the specialist.
