40,000 contract serious virus in Ukraine, kills 30 Not Swine Flu

[Jan Klimkowski]

Now, the glorious "Tamiflu".
To us this drug acted only on Friday evening.
In order to take preventive one capsule a day, no more than 2 days after contact with patients.
The patient, incidentally, must begin to treat him no later than 42 hours after onset of symptoms.

Well, that "Tamiflu", which came to us, is for patients.
For doctors there is nothing.
Only after the two of us sick of doctors, he managed a huge scandal "beat out" a few pills and staff.

What you can say about this product?

I can say that those doctors, about which I told him started terrible side effects - severe intoxication, nausea.
So I personally take preventive purpose "Tamiflu" will not - better already provided "folk" methods.
It is also the case that the drug is currently poorly studied, and may be much more harmful effects.
But let's specify - here I mean only those drugs that are produced by Hoffman La Roche.
On the one produced by another manufacturer, I can not say anything, because with him not encountered.

As a whole the situation in Ukraine looks to hospitals providing the necessary tools to fight this virus?

Difficult.
Some medicines patients are still forced to buy their own.
As for the staff, then do it no one cares.
And that - despite the fact that, according to rumor, every fourth doctor, who is suffering from acute, infected.
In our hospital with pneumonia now is five doctors.

In fact, we were thrown as cannon fodder to the front, without any weapons.

The Lwow doctor above tells it how it is from his frontline perspective.

The doctor isn't a fan of Tamiflu or the "emergency planning"....
