73 operacje kręgosłupa w dobę, ponad 300 tys. zł za dzień pracy jednego lekarza, fikcyjne procedury i 13,2 mln zł kary dla szpitala w Miastku. Efekt? Zawieszona interna, chirurgia, OIOM, blok operacyjny i diagnostyka. Tak dziś wygląda ochrona zdrowia pod rządami Donalda Tuska i Platformy Obywatelskiej.
