Шантаж на здоровье

In principle, it is not surprising, for when someone is sick, or hurt close people, ready to pay any money to heal the sore. But there are other reasons why sometimes ready to go to a private clinic…

I would like to say that our government is doing everything to throw off the burden of care of the population. Permanent reduction of staff, reduction of free services and often a lack of clinics in truly effective drugs. Very often at the reception of the “free” doctor there is a situation that You have the diagnosis, but to confirm we need to have more tests, and it is possible only in private clinics… Or, very often, to identify a proper diagnosis, you will undergo a MRI examination. For instance, the city has two such apparatus, but by a strange coincidence, both of them in just in private clinics, and the cost of the survey ranges from 3000 rubles and above… Attempts to find out whether there is a single MRI machine in a public hospital did not lead to success.

Here my mother needs two years to undergo rehabilitation. After talking with a physician at our hospital, we were told that the effective drug they have notorious Meldonium, he Mildronat. The desired effect we get. The local neurologist was consulted at all reluctantly, and as usual I hinted about the age of the mother. Well, what to do, go to a paid specialist. The cost of a paid professional cost 1000 R. Were given appointments. The cost of all drugs in the amount of approximately 10 000 R. But the most interesting was found out later, is a public clinic we can not accept foreign assignments. We can of course, but it is necessary to take many directions. Again went to do the dropper in private clinics. We have the IV is 350 R, and we have appointed more than 10. Plus expenses on the road. So we went to rehab almost 20 000 of our wood.

Well, how would the main thing would be money, nothing else matters. But here’s a simple diagram of how we culturally and gently sent into the arms of paid medicine. All of us have health insurance poles. But private clinics don’t want to work with them. They need to cash out! And to attract all physicians error is also impossible.

Agree that the state has created ideal conditions for the development of sector of paid medicine?
