It won’t take long for parents of oncology patients at the Central Hospital “Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto”, take to the roads of San Luis Potosí to report the lack of medicines, doctors, supplies and services In the hospital, they complain because this situation is causing patients to find themselves between life and death. They claim that in December there were many children who died due to the lack of medicine and specialized care.
For fear that their hospitalized children will be victims of reprisals, the parents who denounce the series of insufficiencies in the most important hospital in the region did not want to give their names.
“Right now There is no antibiotic in the hospital, my son was admitted last Monday because the chemotherapy gave him a reactionhe had a brain attack, that’s how they handle it, and since they admitted him, They sent me to buy the antibiotic because there is no antibiotic here. And after talking to the nurses, they tell me that they have time.”
Neither There is saline water, the cleaning people ask them to take care of the garbage bags, because they don’t give them any, the kitchen people ask them to take care of the spoons because they don’t have them., they just give them a package and since the Monday he was admitted, his son has not seen him to the neurologist, who is the one who has to examine him. The physiotherapists have not shown up either.
“The staff here tell us that There are no doctors, the residents receive us and everything, but at the end of the day they send us to buy antibiotics and the few doctors there are are not operating. Today they came to talk to me and said that the neurologist was going to come, but he couldn’t come and A colleague of mine, that is, the mother of a child, tells me that she is a month old and that the pulmonologist has not been able to see her son. and his son is in intensive care. And there are already several of us, but many people do not dare to speak out of fear, because later they will be attacked by our patients.”
He has witnessed how resident doctors sleep in the hospital because they can no longer handle so much work. “Everything is full, but I tell you, they sent us all to buy everything, from saline water to antibiotics, they don’t even have paracetamol.”
In Last January they demonstrated about this same situation and reported that because they did so they were victims of the authority of the Central Hospital “My partner said yes, that she felt a lot of retaliation, her son is currently intubated for pneumonia and according to this week they were doing a tractotomy and waiting to see if it would work if not, well they expect the worst, but nothing, they haven’t been able to do it.” do that, because the pulmonologist has not been to see him, he has been hospitalized for a month, more than a month.”
Coming from various places in the State, reports that there is desperation, some want to take their children, but they do not have the economic conditions to do so “But they talked to me, that if I took him it would be under my responsibility, they scared me and I told them, but it can’t be that there isn’t even an antibiotic. I say I have to go buy everything myself and It is more expensive for me to be here in San Luis because they have to send me money for food, for my tickets, and the nurses are afraid to give us the prescription so that we can go buy everything, because they are also in a very delicate situation.but they cannot speak because they are literally almost under threat, they cannot go on strike, many do want to leave, but they cannot because depending on whether they leave, they will stop paying them and if not they will be liquidated.”
In your case The mother of an affected minor has been undergoing treatment in the hospital for five years, and has seen that the situation “was a little bad, right, but right now the situation is completely over.”. Many people are dying because there are no medications, it is a lot of negligence because they are students who are treating here, even if they are not resident doctors, they are called that they are just practicing with one. Everything got worse because there were many children who died because they all got pneumonia and there were no antibiotics. and it has a lot of time, there are no oncological medications, which is the most important thing, we have to buy them or we have to go to the Juan Pablo or AMANC foundations which is the Mexican Association to Help Children with Cancer, right now those two are the ones that have been supplying the oncological medications.”
After this panoramaThey intend to carry out some protests such as closing Highway 57 to see if the authorities in charge of this hospital listen to them..
