Readers talk about state medicine in Russia. Someone praises, someone scolds. That's what's interesting - if medicine is praised in personal stories (I was cured, my cousin got cured), then they scold, remembering someone else's sad experience (read on the forums).Personally, I live in St. Petersburg, I can't complain about free healthcare. Of course, I prefer paid, but I understand, that there are the same doctors, as in public hospitals. Today, Dr. Jekyll in a commercial clinic charges you for a consultation 1700 rubles, and tomorrow he will do you a free operation in a public hospital. I choose paid clinics for three reasons:1. They know how to use clocks and diaries.2. Nursing staff don't take it out on patients, when he's in a bad mood.3. Commercial medical facilities unload the public health system, freeing up space for those, who does not want or cannot be treated for a fee. As for medical equipment and the like, then there are public hospitals ahead. The most advanced equipment, the most complex operations are all in the hands of the state. However, I got distracted. Here are the replicas of readers from a recent post about Gazprom and SMS. It will be great, if you share your experience in the comments:https://olegmakarenko.ru/2271838.htmlhttps://zen.yandex.ru/media/makarenko/pochemu-gazprom-daet-reklamu-kogda-detiam-sobiraiut-na-lechenie-cherez-sms-618245a59f6ffd07be0907df
vdesyatke2. In the treatment of arthritis, simplified, there are three lines of defense. The first two are relatively inexpensive. (several thousand rubles a month). Sooner or later, when the first and second stop helping, move on to the third, GIBP — genetically engineered biological preparations. They have been actively developed relatively recently., literally at the beginning of the 2000s, and this is the spearhead of pharmacology attack, they improve every year, and improve significantly - enhance the effect, and, which is much more important, remove side effects, which the GIBP has a lot, and they can be heavy. Drugs, I'm talking about: adalimumab, merkizumab, vedalizumab, guzelkumab, ustinicumab, ozanimab. The main problem is that an injection with such a drug costs 25 thousand (this price was a year ago, now it could rise a little because of the ruble exchange rate), need to prick once a 2 of the week, a course of treatment 5 years. in total 25*26*5 = 3,25 million rubles for 5 years, or a little more 50 thousand a month. Average salary in Samara, I remind, 40.9 thousand rubles before taxes, and the median, guess, 28j. You can get the drug from the state through VMP - high-tech medical care, and thank God, many people get. The only problem is, that a few years ago this opportunity in the Samara region was closed to everyone, except for the disabled. Numerous creepy stories can be read on rheumatology forums, when people consciously, to get a disability, stop taking 1st and 2nd stage drugs, to bring yourself to disability. AND, even more horrifying, the disability commission denies them disability.* * *stupid_orc. 1. I personally know the couple. A child with a serious illness was treated in Germany without paying a penny from his own pocket and without collecting money via SMS. All expenses, except for air tickets, paid for CHI.2. A workmate regularly takes immunosuppressants after a kidney transplant. Is free. And then, with great surprise, he sees on TV a fundraiser for a sick child for (thenmmmm!) %drug_name%, which he receives for free.* * *ddem1979. My father-in-law was treated for compulsory medical insurance after a stroke, required brain surgery. Not very fast (more than half a year of net waiting after a specific request for a specific course of treatment), waiting for medicine from Germany, but cured for free. If you didn't wait, and went on paid programs - 10 years ago it would have cost about a million. On the other hand, he had a real risk of rupturing a vessel in the brain during this wait, could not wait.* * *Jury. In the Moscow region there are even better hospitals in the capital. My father had a heart attack in the country, he was admitted to the Zhukovsky hospital. Treatment, care, food, ambiance was excellent. Better, than in Moscow hospitals, where did he lie before. But the farther from Moscow, the worse it gets. Probably, there are exceptions, but mostly so.* * *Helen. After a car accident, I was taken to Finland for treatment, because I worked in a Finnish company, and they had insurance. From there I came on crutches, and our Military Medical Academy had to put me in order after their “operations” for a year and a half. There was so much heaped up - a long story, I will only say, that our doctors had a lot of fun over some moments of my treatment there. And the money, Yes, ripped off immeasurably, OK, that are not my personal.
