Bulgarian Doctor: Doctors are Disillusioned, Tired and Demotivated

"There is a great deal of distrust among colleagues. When they listened to us, we hoped that the flow of patients would start to decrease every day. Doctors feel abandoned in their jobs and patients look for them only when they are infected and worried about their health and for their loved ones. Colleagues are tired and demotivated. "

This was said on BNT by the Chairman of the Board of the Bulgarian Medical Union, Dr. Ivan Madjarov.

"If someone thinks that the promises of a minister from the studio that there will be beds for everyone and staff for everyone, no matter how many patients there are, will happen, that's just not true. That should be clear - it can't be true with this number of doctors and nurses, "said the head of the BMU.

Commenting on the mandatory green certificates for hospital staff, he said he would be ashamed if someone went to the hospital to protest, because it would mean that we have doctors and nurses who are very far from medicine.

"Physicians are the last place that society needs to doubt. Colleagues in hospitals know that they need to be healthy and that they need to protect their patients. I think that the organization in hospitals will happen so that those who are not vaccinated will took a test and the colleague to continue working", he added.

Is there any point of the COVID Zones?

"COVID zones were widely proclaimed with something no one needed - free treatment for the first 10 days. The population needs quick diagnostics and telemedicine at home to know that if you are sick, you are monitored by your doctor, and not by a free antibiotic, which is usually not prescribed in the first days," said the chairman of the BMU.
