The wait seems to have exhausted patients, especially those in conditions where the only solution is surgery, with no medication easing their pain. Under these circumstances, most of them require home care due to severe physical problems. "Did you undergo a procedure you had scheduled at the Trauma Hospital? No, dear, I haven’t," expressed the citizen. "I haven’t done it, but I registered there, I paid 30,000 lekë when my turn comes," expressed the citizen. "Well, the doctor told me hopefully something will come up, who knows, my husband has passed away, I’m alone," expressed the citizen. During the investigation and conversations with patients, it was noticeable that some of them, although on the waiting list, had undergone the procedure at the Trauma Hospital. This raises another question as to why they are on the list and have an open file at the hospital, while having received the service under suspicions of favoritism in the queue. "I have done it, did you do it there or privately? There, yes, I did it there. On what date? I don’t remember, I think it was at the end of May," expressed the citizen. Regarding this claim by patients, the Hospital stated that alongside emergencies and the waiting list, it also offers services for those who purchase the necessary materials for the procedure themselves. Trauma: In addition to the waiting list, SUT has always offered the service of performing surgical interventions for patients who provide their own necessary orthopedic materials and do not wait in the waiting list queue. This fact is documented in the patient's file, who naturally also signs the informed consent, as for any surgery. Meanwhile, other patients implied they are negotiating a shortcut, which suggested bribery... "The son spoke with the doctor, but we still can’t arrange it ourselves, you understand, I believe you get it..." "We did it there, at Trauma, but we did it with payment, we bought the prosthesis, you understand? Where did you buy it? At the hospital, at the Trauma Hospital, 3500 euros," expressed the citizen. "How did you make the payment? Where did you do it? At the hospital? Yes, we did it cash at the hospital," expressed the citizen. "The doctor took it, we gave it to him," expressed the citizen. "The first time 3,000 euros. Who told you? The doctor told us," expressed the citizen.
