Do you know the number of paramedic squads in Sofia? 30. They take 12-hour shifts. Now the Health Ministry has decided to reduce the shifts to 8 hours so that they could maybe leave a larger number of people to die.
The problems are numerous in this case. Not enough ambulances, all of them old as the world, not enough qualified staff, not enough coordination, not enough emergency centers in the city. This leads to more people in need, more deaths and finally more stress and public tension. This is the vicious circle that the Health Ministry is desperately trying to draw.
The new regulation is such that to execute it the emergency centers need to hire another 40 doctors, 30 drivers and 30 people auxiliary staff. And here comes another problem. Not only doctors are needed but also the doctors themselves refuse to work. Of course they don't want to confess, but when they take a 12-hour shift they have more days off, which they use to go and work somewhere else for more money. What does it matter to them when they got a job to do and they got to do it for money, never mind they are giving the other fellows the hell.
So Sofia citizens face the real threat to be left without emergency medical help. For this reason many of them may die at some point. But on the other hand the doctors will have gained enough money to live better lives. It's nature's laws after all and Bulgaria's Health Ministry is determined to follow them, no matter the price.

Boycott of Moscow's Victory Day Parade Helps New Iron Curtain Fall

Good Nationalists, Bad Nationalists and Pro-European Governments
