Patient: A private hospital issued an epicrisis for an operative intervention without it being performed - 1

Doctors from the neurosurgery department in a private hospital in Burgas have issued an epicrisis to their patient, in which it is mentioned that she underwent an operation , without such being carried out.

This is what the victim Milena Stefanova claims, Nova TV reported.

"I want to appeal to people to check their documentation and when there are irregularities, to report them. In my case, according to epicrisis, I had endoscopic surgery. It is described that I was under intravenous anesthesia. I have not had such an intervention. I have no wounds, no stitches, no front where the 6mm hole that is described can be entered. This is a fraud on the NHS, a fraud for a lot of money," the woman said.

In three days, she received one injection-blockade with lidocaine.

"For the first day and a half after it, I had a slight improvement, then things became very complicated, and the pain became unbearable. I didn't have any before I entered the hospital. Four injections were prescribed, given after the MRI, I don't have any. I don't have a herniated disc either, but Dr. Ballev wants to operate on me. I intend to seek my rights in court," she said.

The director of the "Heart and Brain" hospital Dr. Lidiya Stefanova indicated that she was surprised by the case study.

"No preliminary conversation was held with me, the competent institutions have not given their opinion. This is an attempt at provocation, we have never carried out fake operations. The institutions will issue an opinion after a report has been filed. This is the only legally regulated way. Before that, there is no way to know what the truth is. The patient made no attempt to contact us to clarify the situation. "She caused enough trouble during her stay that a psychiatrist has ruled that she is severely psychotic," she said.
