Yıldırım gave information on the subject. Within the scope of coronavirus measures, invitations to stay at home for 2 months and the curfew in metropolitan cities took a deep breath after the increase in the epidemic was taken under control, and the “stay at home” invitations were met. The curfew for those under 20 and over 65 continues, in this process Our citizens, who are in a hurry to go to hospitals due to coronavirus, can sometimes be late to apply to hospitals.
Many people prefer to stay at home, thinking that they will catch the virus
The reason for this is that they prefer to stay at home, thinking that when they go here, because there is a coronavirus in hospitals, they will catch a virus from the hospital.
Another reason is that he does not go away without knowing the importance and urgency of his illness, that is, his complaints. If we want to give some examples of these; A 3-month-old baby’s seizure at home is not noticed by his family and is reflected in the late application to the doctor. During this period, negative effects occur in the brain of this child due to convulsions. Our patient, who could not notice the heart attack symptoms in himself and was afraid of the hospital, applied to the hospital in a late period with significant damage to his heart. We see patients who stay at home with the misconception of abdominal pain and apply to the hospital after their appendix burst. Again, we have a patient with sudden hearing loss who lost his hearing in one ear due to being late in admission to the hospital. We also have patients who had a stroke and applied late. In these days when the normalization calendar was announced, all kinds of health services are provided in all branches in hospitals as before. In fact, all kinds of emergency health services were continuing during the effort period with the coronavirus. In the new period, many private hospitals have completely discharged their covid patients and started to offer a new era of health services.
Fear of being late in applying to the hospital
The most valuable issue here, as before, is to apply to the hospital before it’s too late for your complaint. It definitely happens. In summary, we can say that; Don’t be afraid of staying at home and Covid; be afraid of being late to apply to the hospital.
