Not even nursing homes are spared from their sheltered being rejected in public hospitals

Not even nursing homes are spared from their sheltered being rejected in public hospitals

The comarapeño hat, from which it did not come off, was placed on its drawer, as a farewell, before its burial.

Daniel Rojas Carrión, 78 years old, had a varicose wound some time ago, which for some reason became infected. They took him to the San Carlos medical center, four blocks from the Dios Ilumina Home for the Elderly, where they treated him and gave him tests. but an alert of serious infection forced him to be referred to the San Juan de Dios Hospital.

“Thank God, he is now resting in peace,” said María del Carmen Vaca Díez, one of the housekeepers, between resignation and annoyance because although she traveled for two days with the older adult, it was not enough. Finally, the exhausted body of Daniel Rojas did not resist, and he died in the same center for the elderly that housed him for a long time.

“He was from Comarapa, he had no family, they called him ‘the guy’ because he was always neat, clean. He had a varicose wound and it seems that as a result of that wound he developed septicemia, they did tests and he showed a serious infection already despite that they did not receive it, saying that there was no space. They didn’t even look at it. He cried, saying that if he were in his town the wound would have healed because it was cold there,” Vaca Díez sighed.

For María del Carmen, the event is even more unfortunate because a month and a half ago had a similar problem with another elderly person in the home who had an illness. “They didn’t accept it and I had to make a scandal with the media, make a noise and recently those from the Office of the Elderly were mobilized and referred him to La Pampa. I don’t know what is happening with the hospitals,” he warned.

This May 12, another older adult from Dios Ilumina fell ill and had to be transferred by ambulance. In the Japanese Hospital they did not have space, but the Departmental Health Service in this case mobilized so that it was received in La Pampa.

On the subject, the counterpart of Marcelo Cuéllar, director of San Juan de Dios, was sought, but he did not respond. The head of Hospital Management of the Government, Edil Toledo, asked for time to find out about what happened.
