Chapter 986 Free Medical Care!

Yuri Rogachev couldn't leave until his street sweeping job was finished.

After he finished sweeping the floor, he felt his hands and feet were a little frozen.

Brook had been waiting for him there.

"Teacher, I've finished sweeping the floor today, and I can go home."

"Let's go to my house." Brook said.

Now it's night.

The temperature in Moscow is dropping faster and colder.

When Yuri Rogachev followed Brook to the welfare housing community of the Academy of Sciences.

When he saw Mrs. Brook, Yuri Rogachev greeted his teacher's wife: "Teacher's wife, I'm here."

"Yuri, please sit down."

When Mrs. Brook prepared dinner.

When Yang Ming came today, he brought a lot of gifts.

In addition to nutritional supplements for the elderly, such as calcium supplements, there are also some meats, and even local large intestines.

Now the state banquet in Sulian is not as good as the state banquet in the Ilyich era.

Ordinary families are even worse.

Yuri Rogachev washed his hands and sat down to have dinner with the Brook couple.

"Yuri, do you know where Bashir is?"

"Teacher, I heard that he was hospitalized, but I haven't visited him yet."

Bashir is hospitalized?

Bashir is a few years older than Yuri Rogachev, about 60 years old.

The other party is a dropout from the Moscow Institute of Power Engineering, and later joined the army. In fact, he is not much better than Yuri Rogachev.

After returning from the army, he should work in a state-owned farm until retirement.

Yuri Rogachev knew the other party because they were still in contact. It was also because of Brooke that Yuri Rogachev knew Bashir that year.

"Why is he hospitalized? Is it serious?"

"Teacher, I'm not sure."

Birth, aging, illness and death.

It is normal for people to get sick when they are old.

In Sulian's current situation, if he gets sick, especially a serious illness, it will be troublesome.

Sulian implements free medical care.

However, it is very different from what you imagine.

After Stalin's death in 1953, Helu Xiaofu came to power. The policies he implemented led the Soviet Union into an endless abyss step by step.

In the field of medical care, the Soviet Union's originally unified free medical system was divided into two independent medical systems.

Most ordinary people can only go to clinics and hospitals for workers and peasants, which account for about 94% of the country; while a very small number of bureaucrats and social elites can choose a closed medical security system, where the funding and medical conditions are far better than ordinary hospitals.

So, how did this phenomenon come about?

Before Stalin's death, the high-salary system implemented by the Soviet Union for some people had already caused a few people to degenerate and degenerate.

In the 1970s, the Soviet Union became the only major industrial country in the world with a decline in life expectancy.

In 1982, the average life expectancy in the Soviet Union was between 63 and 64 years old, while this indicator was 70 years old in 1960.

The quality of medical care in Suzhou began to decline. Hospitals were overcrowded, medical facilities had been aging for a long time and had not been updated. Modern medical equipment such as pacemakers and dialysis machines were in serious shortage. Disposable consumables such as syringes and bed sheets were even used repeatedly, and medicines were scarce.

The food in the hospital was terrible, and the patients' families had to bring meals to the hospitalized patients.

The recession of Suzhou's economy caused the state's investment in free medical care to shrink significantly. By the 1980s, Suzhou had gradually entered an aging society, and the pressure on free medical care was even greater.

As a result, Suzhou's neonatal mortality rate began to rise, the incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer increased, the incidence of influenza and the mortality caused by influenza increased, typhoid and rickets began to reappear, and the incidence of AIDS was close to the level of an epidemic.

Drugs were abused by doctors.

Because it was free treatment, many doctors began to have a declining sense of responsibility, and some low-level mistakes occurred frequently, such as cross-infection of hospital patients, wrong blood type, improper needle disinfection, etc.

Although it was free medical care, patients began to give money to doctors privately in order to get better services.

. . .

In other words, medical care in Sulian is now free.

However, it is really different from what you imagine.

Many patients died directly in the hospital because of the doctor's treatment.

Like the Brook couple, they are nearly 80 years old, which is considered old in Sulian.

They are usually afraid to go to the hospital.

Now, I heard that Bashir fell ill in the hospital, and I am afraid that the situation is very serious.

"Yuri, please go to the hospital to see Bashir for me."

"Yes, teacher."

"Come here tomorrow morning, Sir Yang will see you then."

Yuri Rogachev left here.

He took the bus to the hospital immediately.

When he arrived at the hospital, he saw that the hospital was full of patients.

The weather in Moscow is still very cold now.

In this kind of weather, the elderly and even children are most likely to get sick.

In Sulian, which has free medical care, the efficiency of seeing a doctor in the hospital is getting worse and worse.

Yuri Rogachev asked the female nurse and learned that Bashir had been transferred to another ward.

When he came to the ward, he saw Bashir lying on the bed and receiving an infusion, and it seemed that the situation was a bit unbelievable.

At this time, Bashir had been infected with pneumonia. In addition to coughing all the time, he even had a high fever from time to time.

For Bashir, who is nearly sixty years old, and in this weather, he has pneumonia. The doctor has no better effect except to use a lot of penicillin.

"Bashir, the teacher asked me to see you."

Yuri Rogachev looked at him and said.

Bashir's condition is not good now. Yuri Rogachev left after seeing him.

There are all kinds of people in the hospital now, and there are even some patients with infectious diseases.

Yuri Rogachev is in his fifties and is in good health.

If he is infected with some infectious diseases, he is likely to get sick.

. . .

Rest for a night.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming finished breakfast at the villa.

He took Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxuan, Huo Jianning, Alina and others to the welfare housing community of the Academy of Sciences.

Yang Ming and others just came over, and he saw two people waiting for him here.

One was the old man Brooke who was seen yesterday.

There was also an old man in his fifties.

Although Yang Ming saw it for the first time, he guessed that it should be the genius Yuri Rogachev.

"Sir Yang, this is Yuri."

"Hello, Sir Yang." Yuri Rogachev hurriedly greeted Yang Ming.

"Mr. Brook, Mr. Yuri, hello."

"Sir Yang, it's too cold outside, let's go upstairs to talk."

Yang Ming and others went upstairs with Mr. Brook and Yuri Rogachev.

In the small living room.

Yang Ming still felt a little cold here.

"Sir Yang, I'm sorry, the heating is off again today."

Such cold weather?

The heating is off here?

How can those people bear it?
