Zdravljenje tumorja s crowdfundingom
Zdravje je temeljna življenjska dobrina, dostop do zdravljenja pa ne sme biti vprašanje finančnih sposobnosti družine.
V feed sem prejel znančevo sporočilo. Družina njegovega prijatelja iz ZDA se je znašla v težavah, saj si ne more privoščiti zdravljenja njegovega možganskega tumorja. Tamkajšnje zdravstvo slovi po udinjanju dobičkom in zasebnim interesom močnih zdravstvenih zavarovalnic, javno zdravje ali premagovanje bolezni pri delovnih in socialno šibkejših pa potegneta kratko: tudi zdravljenje najbolj pogostih težkih bolezni je postal nedosegljiv luksuz.. Ostane jim le še to, da se zatečejo h crowdfundingu, kot priča poziv, ki ga objavljam spodaj.
Ne smemo dovoliti, da se slovenski javni zdravstveni sistem proda zasebnikom in podjetjem. Na vsak način moramo ubraniti, nahraniti in opolnomočiti javno zdravstvo.
Žalostna situacija iz spodnjega poziva po crowdfundingu ni niti osamljen niti ponesrečen primer. Je naravna posledica privatizacije zdravstvenega sistema.
ZATO ne smemo dovoliti, da o zdravljenju odločajo zavarovalnice, zasebna podjetja. Zato ne smemo dovoliti, da se slovenski javni zdravstveni sistem proda zasebnikom in podjetjem. Na vsak način moramo ubraniti, nahraniti in opolnomočiti javno zdravstvo. V Sloveniji je mreža javnih zdravstvenih institucij zgrajena, v njih svoje delo dobro opravljajo predani in kompetentni ljudje! Načrtna razgradnja delujočega sistema je zato za večino nesmiselna. A premišljena.
Zdravje za vse, ne le za peščico.

On May 15th, ________ was diagnosed with three brain tumors. The first one on the right side of his head above his ear was surgically removed. The first tumor was biopsied and the doctor was able to diagnose that it is malignant. The other two tumors are inoperable because they are hidden in the rear center of his brain below his corpus callosum.
While in the hospital _______ also suffered a stroke which has severely affected his left side. He has lost any ability to move his left arm and left leg. On account of the stroke he is unable to take chemo treatments for the two remaining malignant tumors. He is now in rehab trying to regain some movement on his left side. He is hoping to be able to come home sometime this month.
Unfortunately Medicare will only partially cover his medical equipment and not his day and night personal care. He will need a trained professional caregiver to be able to help him with the daily living care. Also his home needs to be modified so that when he does come home he will be as comfortable as possible.
