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)

Fráňa Šrámek warned in a shared post by Radio Free America about a serious security crisis. He wrote that after an hour-long phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the Russian president announced confirmation of collaboration between their administrations and intelligence services. According to Šrámek, discussions about the future of Ukraine took place without the participation of Ukraine or European countries. He claimed that Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff pressured Ukraine with the threat of completely halting the transfer of American intelligence information. He also noted that FBI Director Kash Patel planned a trip to Russia in mid-October, where he was to meet with the Russian counterintelligence agency FSB, while the U.S. government and FBI did not comment on the details. Šrámek wrote that American lawmakers had urged Patel to cancel the trip in connection with the phone call on October 9, warning against Russian espionage and operations influencing public opinion. He described Trump's actions as treachery and claimed that the American president was handing Ukraine, its European allies, and the United States over to the Kremlin. He stated that the United States had been taken over by an international criminal syndicate and would need help. #bezpečnost #Zrada #Ukrajina (translated)

Maggie Python wrote that the producer of Pegasus had full access to the infrastructure and that the data was leaving Poland.

Chrzanik referred to Dobrzyński's statement about a potential assassination attempt on Tusk. Dobrzyński allegedly said that the matter is very serious, and the number of threats is increasing from month to month, even though some commentators questioned the decision to inform about it. Chrzanik asked why similar reports had not appeared earlier and why the case was publicized on that particular day. He added that he did not know the answer, although — as he suggested — he had his suspicions. #Polska #bezpieczeństwo #polityka (translated)

Artur wrote that in this matter he definitely agreed with Trump, who — in his opinion — accurately summarized his voters. He compared them to PiS voters, claiming that they applaud everything Kaczyński tells them, and to the viewers of Republika.

Mickpl wrote that in less than three years, Wykop shrank from a portal with over 100,000 active users to a service that perhaps 800 people used, and its traffic resembled that of a local county portal. The author admitted that he regretted this change. He noted that the prevailing opinion of Wykop was as a place that was extremely unfriendly, but he did not fully agree with it. He described the site as a unique place where alongside an anecdote from an employee of a Norwegian laboratory about polymer synthesis, a post from Mariusz from Brighton could appear, who published a picture of his room after waking up from drinking. According to Mickpl, a similar community will not arise again in the Polish internet. He wrote that users grew up with the portal, took different paths, and later met there again, like a class reunion after years. He added that the rapid downfall of Wykop will be discussed in textbooks as an example of how not to manage a social media platform. #Wykop #społeczność #Internet (translated)

Petenucci published an open letter to MP Michał Kołodziejczak, in which he offered him free assistance in crisis management related to the tape scandal. He wrote that he considers the politician to be lost and deemed the interest in his case disproportionate compared to the accusations regarding drug use and behavior towards two women. The author claimed that there are people close to the prime minister involved in more serious controversies. He named, among others, a man who he believes is connected to associates of organized crime groups, corruption accusations against people in the prime minister's circle, a pedophilia and zoophilia scandal among Civic Coalition activists, and the case of doctor Kacprzyk, to whom he attributed fraud and scams. He also pointed to MAP, Balczun and unfavorable fuel and gas agreements with Ukraine, which he wrote could cost the state billions. Petenucci advised Kołodziejczak not to make statements or apologize. He also accused the Civic Coalition of a selective approach to women's rights, citing the invitation of Vitali Klitschko to Campus Poland and his annual meetings with the President of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski. He predicted that the Kołodziejczak case would naturally disappear from the headlines when another controversy arises, possibly before Wednesday. He signed the letter as Konstanty Migacz, an expert in image and crisis management. #Polska #Wizerunek #Kryzys (translated)
