In Pervouralsk, Viktor Dolgushin, the head physician of the city hospital, was removed from his post, in which the patient was left to die in an empty ward. About it informs E1.ru.
The doctor-surgeon Boris Meilakh was appointed to act as his interim.
Earlier, a video appeared on the network in which the Russian tried to shout to the doctors, who were not there after the death of the patient.
The niece of the deceased assured that none of the doctors and nurses tried to help the man when he began to choke. There was no one in the department.
After that, the hospital explained that when another patient ran to call for help, he was heard by a nurse serving dinner, but according to the instructions she was forbidden to approach aggressive patients alone. She immediately called the nurse, and she called the doctor.
After the dismissal of the head physician, the hospital staff prepared a letter in which they stated that the regional Ministry of Health had found a reason to remove Dolgushin from his post.
