If patients with coronavirus do not have serious complications, then it is better for them to be treated at home on an outpatient basis than to try to get to the hospital by all means, said Pavel Brand, medical director of the Semeynaya network of clinics. According to him, calling a doctor at home for consultation and a list of necessary medications is the right decision in this situation. In the hospital, the infected Covid-19 will almost certainly be cured of the disease, but at this moment other chronic diseases of the patient may develop. “The vast majority of patients recover completely without any hospital. In this regard, another problem arises: patients admitted to the hospital have an increase in those pathologies that are aggravated due to the fact that doctors do not deal with them, but are engaged in the treatment of coronavirus infection. There is decompensation of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and coronary heart disease, which occurs during hospitalization for covid,”Brand said on Sputnik radio. Such problems, according to Brand, arise not because of the inexperience of doctors, but because of the workload of medical facilities. He added that the moment a patient stops taking their pills most often leads to death or readmission. Brand said that doctors are currently saving lives rather than maintaining good health. The reason for this is a shortage of staff and an excess of patients. So, doctors simply do not have time to do anything other than treating Covid-19. In addition, he stressed, the patient does not always end up in a specialized department. It also happens that doctors know how to treat coronavirus, but do not know what decisions to take with regard to diabetes. Everything you need to know about the coronavirus. Special project RIAMO >>
