As she said, on the one hand, the ward has run out of qualified and skillful nurses, so their work and the work of the doctors became increasingly difficult. The other reason is that they have run out of doctors. Thus, they could not safely perform their work – she explained.
She also spoke about that anesthetists, who in addition to their daily work assume duties several times a week, are frequently working continuously for 24 hours. The doctors and the nurses have become overburdened. Annamaria Csurgai underlined: it frequently happened that she could not go home to sleep for 6 nights in a week, and that even goes for 7-8 days for the young doctors.
