At the beginning of February, the relatives of the deceased Dafinka Ezekieva told on the air of Nova TV that on January 15 she was urgently taken to ISUL hospital.

An ambulance was called because the woman fell and hit her head.

According to the family, the patient was neglected by doctors and staff.

According to her granddaughter, the woman had a head injury, but no scan was done when she was admitted.

After NOVA's report, an investigation by the Executive Agency "Medical Supervision" began.

"In the documents it is written that there were mistakes made by the doctors, as well as that a scan was not done and there was no follow-up of the disease.

Grandma was being prepped for surgery the whole time and that's why she was seen by a neurologist, but not because of the hemorrhaging she suffered as a result of the fall.

It says that there is no history taken and no follow-up of the disease.

An investigation is yet to come," commented the granddaughter of the deceased woman, Maria Tanova.

BGN 60 for an examination in an emergency room: Why is a child in severe pain not examined before the mother pays?

"Medical Supervision" explained that a committee of inspectors had inspected the medical facility.

Data have been established on the omissions in the treatment process of the patient, for which administrative and criminal proceedings will be instituted in accordance with the Law on Administrative Violations and Penalties.

Representatives of the hospital indicated that they had received only a report of findings.

In order to comment, they indicated that they were waiting for an act to establish an administrative violation.

Only then would they stand in front of the camera.

Tanova insists that the doctors who were on shift and those who did not take measures in time should be punished in a "serious way".

"In the Department of Orthopedics, they behave disgustingly with patients, they scold them for defecating, they don't change their diapers.

A bedridden patient complained to me personally that she had not eaten for two days.

The attitude is disgusting.

A nurse told me that no one is obliged to take care of my grandmother.

I want a serious punishment", she is categorical. 

Medical law lawyers explained that in this case, whatever violations are found, the penalties for the medical facility or for a particular staff member are likely to be monetary.
