Remedies missing
"Ibuprofen and ibupirac aterm and analgesics are very important and given to any patient with a fever, including internships," said Nestor Hirchfeld about some of the medicines that are lacking in Masvernat.
Defining that "we have a huge problem," said the professional who "called us on Saturday, the director of Epidemiology, Dr. Stephen Alisios, to inform us that she had no swabs for culture media to identify whether it was H1N1, a influenza A, then the patients on Saturday, Sunday and Monday really can not be diagnosed. " Therefore found that "today in Concord if a patient has type A influenza, the H1N1 virus or swine flu, we can not diagnose.
With respect to Tamiflu, a medicine indicated for the prevention of influenza A, "as the party of Epidemiology," said Hirchfeld and that "in reality is not a drug that is sold in drugstores pharmacies because they have not delivered" and confirming that its market price is $ 140.

" He further noted that "when we call for any interconsultation are not," asserting that "the whole city is waiting for epidemiology.
Criticism of the minister and his advisers Giano
The doctor said the other child that "I am concerned that if the minister says it is complicated epidemiology take tougher measures," to which "I would say what the minister waiting for? More deaths?. Already there is a death that is not confirmed, is suspected in the sanatorium Garat, "he said.
Hirchfield that "we are accustomed to act accordingly, when in fact they should act pre-emptively." Do not forget to note that there is common knowledge that health policy was disastrous, "and suggested to the Minister of Health of the Province, Angel Giano" should rethink about the consultants who have, have demonstrated inefficiency, negligence, because they know of This knowledge of these issues. "
In the triple guard consultations
