Chapter 984 Free medical treatment!
Author: The creeper on the fence
Yuri Rogachev couldn't leave before his job of sweeping the streets was over.
By the time he finished sweeping the floor, he felt that his hands and feet were a little frozen.
Brooke has been waiting for him there.
"Teacher, I've finished sweeping the floor today and can get off work."
"Go to my house." Brooke said.
Now night is coming.
The temperature in Moscow dropped faster and colder.
When Yuri Rogachev followed Brooke to the welfare housing complex of the Academy of Sciences.
When he saw Mrs. Brook, Yuri Rogachev greeted his wife: "Master, I'm here."
"Yuri, please sit down."
When Mrs. Brooke has made supper.
When Yang Ming came today, he brought many gifts.
In addition to nutritional supplements for the elderly, such as calcium supplements, there are also some meats and even local colon.
The state banquets held by Su Lian now are not as good as the state banquets held during Ilyich's era.
Ordinary people are much worse off.
Yuri Rogachev washed his hands and sat down to dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Brook.
"Yuri, do you know where Bashir is?"
"Teacher, I heard that he is hospitalized, but I haven't seen him yet."
Bashir is in hospital?
Bashir is a few years older than Yuri Rogachev, that is, about sixty years old.
The other party was a graduate of the Moscow Dynamics Institute, and later became a soldier. In fact, he was not much better than Yuri Rogachev.
After returning from the army, he should have worked on a state-owned farm until retirement.
Yuri Rogachev knew each other precisely because the two had always been in contact. It was also because of Brooke that Yuri Rogachev only met Bashir that year.
"Why is he hospitalized? Is it serious?"
"Teacher, I'm not sure."
Birth, old age, illness and death.
It is indeed normal for people to get sick as they age.
In Su Lian's current situation, it would be troublesome if he got sick, especially if he got seriously ill.
Su Lian provides free medical care.
However, it is very different from what I imagined.
After Stalin's death in 1953, He Luxiao came to power, but the policies he implemented gradually led Soviet Union into an endless abyss.
In the medical field, Sulian's originally unified free medical system has been divided into two independent medical systems.
Most ordinary people can only go to clinics and hospitals for workers and peasants, which account for about 94% of the country's institutions; while a very small number of bureaucracy and social elites can choose a closed medical security system.
The funding and medical conditions here are far higher than those of ordinary hospitals.
So, how did this phenomenon form?
Before Stalin's death, the high salary system implemented by Soviet Union for some people had already degenerated a few people.
In the 1970s, the Soviet Union became the only major industrial country in the world with a decline in life expectancy.
In 1982, the average life expectancy in Sulian was between 63 and 64 years old. In 1960, this indicator was 70 years old.
The quality of Sulian's medical care began to decline. The hospital was overcrowded, the medical facilities were aging for a long time without being updated, there was a serious shortage of modern medical equipment such as pacemakers and dialysis machines, disposable consumables such as syringes and bed sheets were even used repeatedly, and medicines were also
Scarcity.
The food in the hospital is so bad that the patients' families have to bring meals to the hospitalized patients.
Sulian's economic recession caused the state's funding for free medical care to shrink significantly. By the 1980s, Sulian had gradually entered an aging society, and the pressure on free medical care was even greater.
As a result, Sulian's neonatal mortality rate began to rise, the incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer increased, the incidence of influenza and mortality caused by influenza increased, typhoid fever and rickets began to return, and the incidence of AIDS almost reached epidemic proportions.
s level.
Drugs are abused by doctors.
Because the treatment is free, the sense of responsibility of many doctors has begun to decline, and some low-level mistakes frequently occur, such as cross-infection of hospital patients, wrong blood types, improper needle sterilization, etc.
Although medical care is free, patients began to pay doctors privately in order to obtain better services.
...
In other words, Sulian Medical Care is now free.
However, it is indeed very different from what I imagined.
Many patients died in the hospital directly because of doctors' treatment.
For example, Mr. and Mrs. Brooke are nearly eighty years old, which is considered senior citizens in Sulian at this time.
They are usually still very afraid of going to the hospital.
Now, I heard that Bashir is ill in the hospital and his condition is probably serious.
"Yuri, go to the hospital to see Bashir for me."
"Yes, teacher."
"You come here tomorrow morning. Sir Yang will want to see you then."
Yuri Rogachev leaves here.
Immediately take the bus to the hospital.
When I arrived at the hospital, I saw that the hospital was full of patients.
It's still very cold in Moscow now.
In this kind of weather, the elderly and even children are most likely to get sick.
Under free medical care for Su Lian, the hospital's medical treatment efficiency is getting worse and worse.
Yuri Rogachev asked the female nurse and learned that Bashir had been moved to another ward.
When I came to the ward, I saw Bashir lying on the bed with an infusion. The situation seemed a bit unobjective.
By this time, Bashir had been infected with pneumonia. In addition to coughing all the time, he even had high fever from time to time.
Bashir, who was nearly sixty years old, contracted pneumonia in this weather, and the doctor had no other better effect except using a large amount of penicillin.
"Bashir, the teacher asked me to come see you."
Yuri Rogachev looked at the other party and said.
Bashir's situation is not good now. Yuri Rogachev saw him here and left.
Nowadays, there are a mix of people in the hospital, including some patients who may have infectious diseases.
Yuri Rogachev is in his fifties and is in relatively good health.
If you are infected with some infectious disease, you may easily get sick.
...
Have a night's rest.
Early the next morning.
Yang Ming finished breakfast here in the villa.
He once again took Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoluo, Huo Jianning, Alina and others by car to the welfare housing complex of the Academy of Sciences.
Yang Ming and others had just arrived, and he had already seen two people waiting for him here.
One was exactly what Mr. Brooke saw yesterday.
There is also an old man in his fifties.
Although Yang Ming saw it for the first time, he guessed that it should be the genius Yuri Rogachev.
"Sir Yang, this is Yuri."
"Hello, Sir Yang." Yuri Rogachev greeted Yang Ming hurriedly.
"Mr. Brooke, Mr. Yuri, hello."
"Sir Yang, it's too cold outside. Let's go upstairs and chat."
Yang Ming and others went upstairs with Mr. Brooke and Yuri Rogachev.
In the small living room.
Yang Ming still felt a little cold here.
"Sir Yang, I'm sorry, the heating here has been turned off again today."
Such cold weather?
The heating is turned off here?
How can those people endure this?
