In the Leningrad Region of the Russian Federation, an elderly woman with onco-scabing could not get the necessary medical care due to coronavirus and made himself the operation itself, an ambulance officer said. The authorities began checking, writes the Russian BBC service.
According to the ambulance, the pensioner, who survived the war and the blockade, was sick of the oncology, which gave complication in the form of ascites – the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. The pensioner “could not get timely help” because of the situation with Coronavirus and decided to try to make an operation itself to alleviate pain, said Feldsher.
The pensioner was not sure if she could successfully make an operation itself, and therefore just in case wrote a suicide note. Currently, the pensioner is in the hospital, clarified the paramedic.
“Komsomolskaya Pravda” notes that the pensioner is more than 90 years.
that an elderly woman independently had an operation, wrote in Facebook and head of the charitable institution “Hospice at home” Ekaterina Ovsyannikova, explaining that during ascite “it is impossible to walk, lie and even difficult to breathe.”
