Petenucci wrote that a phenomenon from 2022 had returned, using an offensive term referring to Ukrainians. He reported that 984 new cases had been recorded, including 669 in the Mazovian Voivodeship and 162 in Greater Poland, and the management of the hospital in Choroszcz was preparing additional beds for patients. He added that the RCB alert had been canceled in the Lublin Voivodeship because — as he wrote — Ukraine shot down 121% of the drones heading towards Poland. Finally, he mentioned that he will sell his Opel. #Ukraina #zdrowie #drony (translated)

Ondřej Černý wrote that he came from a poor family and recalled from his grandmother's stories how she counted the siblings who had died as young children from illnesses, such as "božec," meaning febrile convulsions. He mentioned that there was no money for doctors back then and that the family always valued food very much. Later, he noted that he discovered that Ukrainians have a similar relationship with food due to ancestral memories of the Holodomor. He also recalled the text from Ork about a rich man who extinguished a cigar on an ox's eye, and about gluttony being essentially a sin and the childish destruction of a good thing. He wrote that for "this" his late grandmother would have given Filípek a whack. In conclusion, he contrasted adults who tried to improve the world around them with those he labeled as big children seeking attention through expensive toys and loud behavior. #historie #paměť #rodina (translated)

PAPAWERYNA described the case of 29-year-old Kacper Bucki, who died on September 5 after spending time in a hospital in Świdnica. According to the author, he had suffered from diabetes since childhood, and later he developed kidney failure requiring dialysis. The author stated that on August 31, after dialysis, Bucki began to vomit, and in the morning he had seizures. His father called an ambulance. Medical documentation, which the family was supposed to receive a month later, revealed that in the first hour of his stay in the ER, the patient required resuscitation and intubation. PAPAWERYNA wrote that he had severe metabolic acidosis, dangerously high potassium levels, and advanced kidney failure. According to her account, on the same day, it was decided to transport him home by ambulance. The family refused his admission, believing he should remain in the hospital, and Bucki returned to the facility in Świdnica. The author stated that the next day, instead of going for dialysis at the hospital in Wałbrzych, he was referred for a psychiatric consultation with a suspicion of schizophrenia. The psychiatrist reportedly found no grounds for his detention; the patient received an injection, the name of which — as the author wrote — was not in the documentation. PAPAWERYNA reported that the next day Bucki's father learned from a nurse that his son was in intensive care. According to the author, during the night he experienced cardiac arrest twice, and the family had not been informed about it previously. Bucki did not regain consciousness and died from brain swelling. The author wrote that dialysis was not performed, and she expressed her condolences to the family. #śmierć #cukrzyca #szpital (translated)

Marek Miśko wrote that during the pandemic, the incompetence of a doctor, in his opinion, had threatened the life of his daughter Helenka. According to him, the doctors ignored the signals from his wife, who presented documentation regarding the child's congenital defect and past surgeries, and attributed her symptoms to COVID. Miśko reported that the family, with the help of acquaintance doctors, transported their daughter to a hospital in Warsaw, where she had been operated on after birth. As he wrote, the intervention took place at the last moment, and the cause of the problems turned out to be necrosis of the small intestine, not COVID. He urged that one should calmly, politely, and assertively demand their rights. #zdrowie #medycyna #covid19 (translated)

Dr. Krzysztof Pujdak criticized the proceedings regarding the tragedy described by him. He wrote that the presence of a specialist in the ward does not guarantee proper care if the doctor cannot perform or assess a basic abdominal ultrasound, and the hospital does not have an effective way to obtain the examination urgently. He described the translation that the ultrasound was not performed due to the lack of a radiologist as a manifestation of faulty organization, and the lack of these skills and capabilities as compromising. Pujdak also referred to the explanation that there was no pediatric surgery department, so no help could be provided. He stated that the absence of such a department does not exempt one from recognizing the threat, initiating treatment, and organizing assistance. He also accused pediatricians of a too-narrow diagnostic approach and pointed out that differential diagnosis should have considered, among other things, bowel obstruction and basic surgical causes. He noted that diagnosing hyperglycemia does not require — as he put it — "diagnostic virtuosity." As an example of efficient action, he described a model that, as he wrote, could function in Germany: the emergency department doctor begins the diagnosis, and when he cannot perform or interpret the ultrasound himself, he calls a prepared colleague, e.g., a pediatrician or general surgeon. He added that outside of standard working hours, between 5:00 PM and 7:30 AM, such a doctor could be on call and come to the hospital. After further examinations, a decision should be made about surgery on-site if the appropriate conditions and competencies are available or about the immediate transfer of the child to the appropriate center. According to Pujdak, bowel obstruction can be operated on by any county hospital that has surgery and anesthesiology. Pujdak wrote that mistakes occur in every system, including the one he works in. However, he deemed the explanations that one could not help due to the lack of a radiologist, department, or appropriate specialization as shocking. #zdrowie #medycyna #chirurgia (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk wrote that one should not expect a 3.5-year-old child, whose condition was rapidly deteriorating and who was losing consciousness, to provide a precise description of symptoms or indicate the location of pain or a possible diagnosis. He emphasized that the absence of abdominal symptoms during a physical examination does not exclude bowel obstruction, and the diagnosis of diseases is the responsibility of doctors. In connection with Kacper's death, he demanded an explanation as to why the cause of the rapid deterioration of his condition was not identified and whether all necessary tests had been conducted. #medycyna #zdrowie #diagnostyka (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk wrote that 3.5-year-old Kacper died after several hours at the Western Hospital in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. According to the author, doctors suspected a meningococcal infection, while the autopsy revealed intestinal obstruction. Kusznieruk reported that the boy's father alerted about severe abdominal pain, and the child did not undergo an abdominal ultrasound. He also claimed that there was no radiologist in the hospital nor imaging diagnostics available, and the specialist facility lacked space. The author noted that he does not prejudge the doctors' guilt and that the matter should be clarified through proceedings. He asked whether the diagnostics were adequate to the child's condition and whether his death could have been prevented. He called for the identification of any negligence and accountability of those responsible, emphasizing that parents have the right to know the truth. #zdrowie #medycyna #systemochronyzdrowia (translated)
