The administration of the Emergency Medicine Institute rejected the accusations made against it by a mother who said that doctors didn’t offer the necessary medical assistance to her son and therefore this is in a coma.

The administration said that in the morning of August 6 the patient was brought by an ambulance to the emergency admissions department, where he was diagnosed with a concussion. At that moment, his state of health didn’t require an emergency operation and the doctors on guard examined him clinically and para-clinically in a normal regime and did the required lab tests and imagistic procedures on the thorax, abdomen and cranium.

As a result of the medical examination, it was established that the man had a closed head injury, acute subdural hematoma and other traumas and the doctor on guard decided to take this to the intensive care section for stabilizing the functions of the body and for therapeutic treatment. At 9.30am, the patient underwent surgery and the subdural hematoma was removed.

The man’s state remains serious, without changes. He is monitored neurologically and is connected to a breathing machine. The patient’s mother and sister ask to transfer this to the Neurology and Neurosurgery Institute, while his wife wants the man to remain at the Emergency Medicine Institute for further treatment.

The man is a firefighter, but worked also as a taxi driver at night. He suffered a road accident and was taken to the Emergency Medicine Institute. In a news conference at IPN, his mother related that the doctors there investigated him only when he fainted, after staying for over three hours in the institute’s halls. The woman said doctors offered the family to donate the man’s liver and therefore they asked that the man should be transferred to the Neurology and Neurosurgery Institute.
