Overcrowded, without privacy, without dignity,
naked and unprotected
Where are the Socialists who "screamed blue hell"
accusing the previous government,to be destroying the national Health system??
Where is Mr. António Arnaut, the supposed "father" of the current Public Health System??
António Arnaut
After TWO FULL YEARS OF SOCIALIST-COMMUNIST RULE
in Portugal
the situation is out of control!!
No Money, no human resources,
no dignity,
JUST CHAOS!!
I transcribe, with unbelievable shame
and denounce the deplorable conditions
in the emergencies in the Hospital in Faro.
The Nursing team of the emergency department
of the University Hospital of the Algarve - the Faro Unit,
hereby discloses to all the media,
the growing degradation of the care conditions for its users.
This situation has dragged on for more than two years,
with the knowledge and connivance of the CA,
which has done nothing so far, to effectively resolve
the deplorable conditions that patients
and health professionals are subject to on a daily basis.
In this regard, we once again send a notice to the CA,
Order and Guardianship of the CHU Algarve.
Notice in which, we once again,
denounce the lack of conditions of users
and the professionals who work in the emergency service.
Attached is also a picture of the daily normality of the US,
since everything changes when we are visited by the Social Media,
when sick patients are literally pushed under the carpet,
hidden away from the cameras of television crews
and reporters, as if by magic..
The deplorable conditions are just casually blamed
on "another peak of affluence."
In this daily normality, we have an average of more than 60 patients
which sometimes exceeds 80 patients in a room
with a capacity of 24.
The ratio of nurses is never adjusted.
It should be borne in mind that,
in addition to the long hours that the patients have to wait
before receiving any kind of the medical attention,
which causes so much sensation,
in the news programs,
there is still a darker, hidden part
of the Emergency Service
where patients are hospitalized on stretchers
for days or even weeks.
These patients are subjected to authentic torture day after day.
Confined in a highly contaminated and saturated environment,
they are denied their own privacy
(they are nakedly exposed in front of everyone);
there are no windows or any references whether it's day or night;
They are constantly exposed to the stress
and the noise of the emergencies 24 hours a day;
They are denied the right to be cared for and treated in safety;
The space and the ration to which they are subject
do not allow the provision of quality care;
and are a broth of error.
They are denied dignity;
They are denied the right to eat;
(many do not eat just because they simply have no one to give them food).
Many die alone;
Alone, surrounded by so many people.
