Moreover, he also needs an approval from the health department, where it is again necessary to present himself, as well as an opinion from an oncologist from Romania, the child having medical documents issued by doctors from abroad.
All this in the conditions in which at the hospital in Italy where his son is hospitalized, his treatment was started in the absence of the European health card, the reply of the officials being that it is not conditioned by bureaucratic issues.
“20 years in which I contributed heavily to the health insurance system. 20 years in which I had medical leave only once, 5 days, because I broke my leg. Otherwise, private tests, paid, and a single birth.
Today I find myself in the incredible situation of finding a solution to benefit from medical leave for child care. Vlad, my boy, was diagnosed with cancer 3 months ago. Since then, I have been with him for treatment in Italy, a country that received him instantly “, begins Magda Vasiliu’s post, specifying that” the emergency hospitalization of the child was not conditioned by any act “.
She reports that her son was hospitalized, diagnosed and started chemotherapy without initially having any documents, only then being asked by the European health card.
“I told them I didn’t have it, but I will have it and that I ask him not to stop the investigations … The clerk at the counter simply replied, ‘Ma’am, the child is being treated anyway. We don’t condition the treatment on bureaucratic issues. “Stay calm! ‘. And, I stayed calm, thinking that in my country there are decent solutions for such situations in which I do not want anyone to be”, writes Magda Vasiliu.
However, she tells us what difficulties she had when the time came when she requested a medical leave because otherwise she cannot accompany her son for tests, she cannot be hospitalized with him every three weeks, she cannot take care of him after chemotherapy, when “his suffering is terrible.”
“My family doctor, to whom I never asked for a certificate, shrugged – our law says I have to come to the office in person. So he can’t help me …
Then I find out that I need an approval from the health department in Bucharest, where I should also present myself in person. So, it is not possible … Our law is made by some idiots, for some idiots like me, who hope for justice, understanding and common sense! “, The TV presenter reports.
“While the Italians give my child analyzes every three days to make sure that everything is fine, Romania, my country, asks me for documents upon documents, permits and documents translated, legalized, etc.
There is a stack of papers from the hospital in Rome that attests to the terrible diagnosis, all initialed in the field of pediatric oncology. The Romanian state, according to some shitty laws, wants an opinion from an oncologist from Romania !!! “, writes Magda Vasiliu, saying that this opinion can only be a formal one, because that oncologist has no way to see the child, whose condition, “one at the limit”, would not allow him to travel to Romania.
She emphasizes that she does not want compassion or pity, but only that “someone with decision-making power to change some restrictive laws, made as if cool, interpretable” and does not help the citizen who contributes for decades in vain.
