Alexey Melnikov: “Putinism killed the patient”

“In the Kamchatka regional hospital, a patient died who did not have enough consumables - coronary microconductors. Five were needed for the operation, but there was only one for the entire regional hospital. The price of this consumable is several thousand rubles,” the publicist writes in LiveJournal .

“Probably, having a stock of consumables in a hospital, in the opinion of the authorities, is “suboptimal.” For “effective managers” it is correct to work “on wheels.” I wonder if the same order applies to Putin, Medvedev, Siluanov, Skvortsova and other bosses? The hospital also, if something happens, may not have enough consumables?

Where did the money go to stock up on consumables in the Kamchatka hospital? A trillion went towards the improvement of the scratched Crimea. Tens of billions are being spent in Syria to modernize the port of Tartus, and previously for the war in this country. Citizens' money for medicine takes off with hypersonic missiles, burns on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, and is spent in the occupied parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

Is this what you wanted, citizens? Those who sit at home on election day have become quiet Crimean Nazis, demanding that the democratic opposition “recognize the realities” and not “argue with the people” by agreeing to the meanness and international banditry of the Russian authorities?

Did you want the money to go primarily to wars and conquests, and in return for the “optimization” of medicine? Or did you naively think that there would be enough for everything?

There was enough for war, but not for medicine. More precisely, the authorities will have enough for medicine, but you, citizens, are not guaranteed. Proved by the Kamchatka tragedy."
