SK is looking for the guilty of the death of a woman, to whom the ambulance did not have time. Guilty may be called participants in the protest in St. Petersburg

On October 7, the ambulance team left the substation in the Mariinsky hospital for a call to a woman who was suffocating from a “foreign body in the respiratory tract”. In such cases, doctors have very little time to help a person - death can occur in 5-7 minutes. The house where the misfortune occurred was nearby - on the bell, 8. Without traffic jams, this route takes about two minutes. The ambulance left a minute after the dispatcher’s call - at 18.49.

Before Nevsky Prospect, a red traffic light was burning and two traffic police cars stood. Later, the paramedic Natalya Bogdanova will tell the television men (the interview was shown on several channels, and then they “adjusted” and removed her name) that she immediately called the dispatcher.

“I reported that we cannot drive. He said: "Well, we will decide now, with the help of the traffic police." Five minutes later, we were able to drive, reached the place, but there was already an ambulance. I called the dispatcher, he said: "You are free." We have a center, traffic jams, for 7-8 minutes should get to the call. We just lost five minutes because we could not drive. ”

The second brigade, which the dispatcher promptly sent, came to the call in 12 minutes, but it was too late - the woman died before the ambulance arrived.

The news agencies - Interfax and RIA Novosti reported with unprecedented efficiency about the incident. The city health committee told them that the ambulance was "blocked" on the corner of Nevsky and Liteiny. A source in the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs added that citizens who were walking from Marsov field blocked the road.

Later it became known that citizens from the Marse fields participating in the protest campaign at that moment could not be on Nevsky Prospekt, because the police blocked the quarter to the hospital - on the corner of Liteiny Prospekt and ul. Nekrasov. From Nekrasov Street to Nevsky in a straight line of 700 meters.

The fact that there was not a single demonstrator on this site, there are video and photographs.

Despite the fact that, according to the press service of the “City Emergency Medical Station”, both brigades acted as part of the instructions and met the norm-20 minutes, the Investigative Committee found a reason to initiate a criminal case on “causing death by negligence” in the incident. The case was opened that evening. The charge has not yet been charged.

According to Natalia Bogdanova, a fatal for a deceased woman could become 5 minutes, which the ambulance spent on the corner of Liteiny and Nevsky Prospects, standing on Red. The investigation intends to find out who “stole” the ambulance these 5 minutes.

The green wave prevented

Fontanka quotes the Internet user under the nickname Mentoz, which at that moment was on the corner of the foundry and Nevsky. “According to Nevsky, a green wave was launched for about 15 minutes, that is, Nevsky of the avenue could not be moved. Cars rode along it in a constant stream. At the intersections, people accumulated and were perplexed why the green did not turn on for so long to cross Nevsky. ”

At 19.10, a convoy of riot police with turned on flashing lights turned on in the direction of the Square of the uprising (in the roundabout ways, the Protesters went there, after which the Green Wave was over.

Alexander Golovanov, a lawyer specializing in protecting the rights of citizens who suffered from medical errors, believes that there is an attempt to poke guilt on the protesters. “According to the law, there is little chance to hold the rally organizers accountable in this case. It is necessary to prove their involvement. How can a person be charged if there is no causal relationship? Most likely, the case will be terminated for the lack of corpus delicti. And the question for the traffic police: why did they not provide travel, since they regulated the movement? "

Ambulances are often standing, skipping a motorcade

According to the doctor of the Ministry of Emergencies of the Ministry of Emergencies of Mikhail Vorontsov, who for a long time worked at the ambulance, including the 2nd substation, from where the doctors were driving on October 7, when the movement was overlapped, for example, on the occasion of the travel of “large persons”-everything has to be decided in private. That is, the doctor gets out of the car and tries to agree with the traffic cop.

“During the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg, we left for“ a drop of a child of 8 years from a height, ”and at that time a motorcade was traveling along Nevsky. I then solved the problem in 20 seconds - I just asked the inspector to the token number and the official certificate to photograph. To the question "Why?" - I explained that we are going to a child who has fallen from a height and may die if we do not come. We were missed. But if it was the FSO guard - we would hardly have traveled. Sometimes it is possible to agree, sometimes not, but criminal cases have never been instituted about this. ”

The doctor Arthur Mustafin works in the transport medical service at the Ministry of Emergencies (he worked on the ambulance for more than 10 years). He recalls the case when the presidential motorcade did not miss them. “It was on Moskovsky Prospekt. We brought a heavy patient to the hospital. Despite the fact that the avenue was free - the motorcade had not arrived yet - we were not missed. I had to wait about 15 minutes. "

Arthur also worked at the 2nd substation at the Mariinsky hospital: “We stood in traffic jams on Litein Prospekt all the time-even at night. Once we drove from the Mariinsky hospital to Belinsky Street ( 350 meters . * - ed. *) An hour and a half. ”

According to Vorontsov, in the case of Nevsky there should not be to the doctors and dispatchers of the imminent claims - they did everything according to the instructions: they left for a minute to call the first category of urgency, arrived in place before 20 minutes: “Judging by the information, the woman was choking. The doctor could save her if he arrived at the place for 3-5 minutes. From 10 minutes - only trained people survive. "

Both paramedics do not understand why a criminal case has been instituted. “I have been working on an ambulance all my life - for the first time I hear about this,” says Arthur Mustafin.

On October 7, the ambulance 17 times attracted the escort of the traffic police for traveling to patients.

- This is not the first case under the article “Causing death by negligence”, which is excited by the Investigative Committee in connection with the obstruction of the ambulance, which led to the death of the patient. Recently, the UK has paying attention to the cases of the death of patients, about medical errors and medical negligence, so the initiation of a criminal case under this article is in trend. And the speed with which a criminal case was instituted does not exclude the political aspect.
