A man from Pernik has shown verbal aggression towards the pediatrician on duty Dr. Darina Kadiyska in the “Children's Ward“, announced the director of the Pernik Multidisciplinary Hospital for Active Treatment (MBAL) “Rahila Angelova – Emil Nenkov, BTA reports.
He specified that the incident occurred on holidays, when general practitioners are not working. “In case of need, all patients rely on the on-duty staff in the wards, which is why there was a large crowd. The man had to wait for 30 minutes with his sick child. This has also led to his tension“, added the director of the medical facility.
After a report was filed with the police, he was arrested.
“The Children's Department“ is a department that has difficulty drawing up its schedule. I consider this aggression unacceptable, because if one or two more specialists leave the department, it will close“, the director warned.
The Pernik specialists are doing everything possible to serve all children, he commented. Due to the lack of more people on duty during the holidays and the non-working GPs, over 100 patients are examined in just one day, of which the majority are children. Emil Nenkov gave as an example that on December 25, 108 people were examined – children and adults.
On the day before the holidays, equipment was received - a spirometer from the initiative “Caps for the Future“. This is equipment desired by the head of the “Children's Department“ Dr. Adrian Simeonov, added the director. The Pernik Hospital has applied in the “Bulgarian Christmas“ for another type of equipment, which is needed for additional equipment. “The department offers all the conditions, but the aggression of a small part of the parents is great and unacceptable, because they waited 30 minutes“, said Nenkov.
Employment during the holidays is lower. A total of 90 people are hospitalized, with a capacity in all departments of 294 beds.
