La coronavirus pandemic has been to the sanitary professionals ante dilemmas to those who have not been trained before. La lack of protection equipment or hospital saturation they were obliged to take difficult decisions in 2020. Jacinto Bátiz, Secretary of the Central Commission of Deontology of the Organización Médica Colegial de España, analyzed with Redacción Médica These are ethical dilemmas that have plagued Spanish medicine over the Covid-19 derivative sanitation crisis.
“I like to talk more about ethical issues that have no dilemmas. The dichotomy in the ethical aspects of Medicine reduces to two solutions, one or another. Without embarrassment, the problems can have various solutions”, Bátiz considers, which signals the two principal ethical issues during the year 2020 until the doctors are consulted.
“By a lad, the adecation of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Efforts Ante Affected Waves by Covid-19. And by the way, the approval of the Ley de Eutanasia that otorga to the doctor the power to administer the death of the nurse and that to the doctors, and here it is, an ethical dilemma: be objects no “, signals the optional.
Consequences of the Covid-19
The choice of pharmacists in front of Covid, a dilemma for the doctors “due to the lack of scientific evidence of its results” |
Acerca of the ethical dilemmas that he operated on along with Covid-19, Bátiz distaca “las decidissings to make the diagnostic tests, depending on its availability“. The head of the OMC also has a signal” the criteria for admission to a hospital debited to the saturation of the measures and for decide what to do if you want to join the UCI for bedding “.
Otra of the shortcomings to which he enforced the professionals has “the choice of the pharmacists adequately due to lack of scientific evidence in its efficacy”. También, the reduction of attendance consultations in Atención Primaria to avoid the contagion, “by which if he has been employed to conduct telephone consultations which, in some cases, he has been able to make diagnostic errors with fatal consequences “, Bátiz considers, that signals the” grave failure to pay attention to illnesses with distinct pathologies to the Covid-19 “.
How did Covid’s pandemic affect health care
“Looking at the deaths and lies of the family has affected the sanitary professionals in a way that is important in their physical health as well as emotional” |
In Bátiz’s opinion, Spanish medicine has not yet cleared up the necessary remedies to address these dilemmas, “about everything in the first place”. “Carecían of the teams adequate and sufficient for their protection. But, about everything, he cares and cares about real reconciliation of his work, sometimes we have precarious contracts
“It’s his professionals who are salvaging lives giving him the risk,” the doctor said.
On the other hand, Bátiz hated that “el Insufficient number of contractors hired to load more bureaucratic and medical jobs and nurse those who peruse their labor assistance “.
All this sovereignty, subraya, has affected the day to day of the professionals, marked by the Covid-19 pandemic. “I believe that being close to the deaths and lies of the family has affected the sanitary professionals in a way that is important in their physical health as well as emotional “, says Bátiz, adding: “Many professionals who work primarily in the workforce with the help of their families voluntarily avoid the contagion that the poor can use as a consequence of their profession”.
Sentiments found in the sanitary facilities on the first line
“Sanitarians have been penalized and raped by sanitary gestures, because they do not compensate the so-called human beings that this pandemic obliges them to take” |
All these professional and personal efforts have been billed, and in this case 10 months have passed since the pandemic in Spain was controlled, the sanitary professionals are “agotados por las largas jornadas ininterrumpidas junto a los enfermos “. Algo that has affected his emotions.
“Many have felt professional frustration because of the effort the institution makes in translating it into resultss. “Emotions with the applause of the citizens from their balconies, but there are deep-seated and preoccupied with the irresponsibility of some who favor the actions of the virus, while they try to fight their effects”, resigned.
“He felt guilty and rabid by the sanitary gestures, because he did not compensate the sobriety human beings that this pandemic obliged them to do “, Bátiz considers, to affirm that” Covid-19 has committed the death of many nurses, but, thanks to God, has not committed the vocational and professional death of the sanitary “.
Sanitarios frente a la vacunación contra el Covid-19
The vacancy in front of Covid-19, which started on Sunday 27, should not present dilemmas for professionals and that it prioritises ethical criteria in the national and European strategy. “The criteria for assigning a Covid-19 vehicle are to prevent deaths from illness, prioritize the disadvantaged people, as well as a level playing field. The ethical problem that can be presented is that there is discrimination in the administration of the vacancy to the citizens: this series is inadmissible“, results Bátiz, who defines that, having a possible escasez, should prioritize sanitation.
“If there are not enough vacancies, the series will precisely prioritize those who have the mission to help the demons in order to nurse” |
“SI do not have enough vacancies series just to prioritize those who have the mission to help the demons in order not to nurse he tends to be more risk-taking as a nurse as the sanitary professionals who are in direct contact with the patients and who participate in high-risk essential activities “; defiende.
“Another priority will be given to people in high-altitude transmissions as well as senior citizens. And as a matter of priority from the point of view of ethical standards, thepeople with medical affections that could increase the risk of catching the infection by Covid-19 “, defending the representative of the WTO.
