It so happened that my wife had two small operations to remove subcutaneous tumors. (I am not a doctor, and I will not try to "smarten up" with diagnoses). The first time was a year ago in one of the state hospitals, the second time in the Tornado clinic. How was it the first time: 1. Turn and reception of the district police officer - referral to a specialist. 2. Queue and appointment with a specialist - referral for tests and ultrasound. 3. The queue for tests, the queue for ultrasound. 4. Appointment with a specialist and referral to a hospital. 5. Admission to the hospital and preoperative tests. 6. Consultation with an anesthesiologist. 7. Consultation with a surgeon. 8. Operation.(With changing into operating clothes and tying to the operating table) 9. Queue for a postoperative appointment based on the results of histology tests. 10. Queue for a suture removal appointment. THE CONSULTATIONS OF SPECIALISTS ARE OF HIGH QUALITY, THE OPERATION IS WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS. In terms of time, it took 5 days before the operation, three days after the hospital and one day after. For money, everything should be free, but each of us knows the prices for official and non-official "donations"... As it was the second time at the Tornado Clinic. 1. Record a phone call at 9 a.m. 2. Joint examination by both a specialist and a surgeon. 3. 9-30 tests, blood pressure measurement and cardiogram. 4. 10-30 ultrasound. 5. 12-00 having all the indications, the surgeon invites you to the operation. 6. At 13:00, the operation was performed, the tissues were sent for histology, the specialist prescribed postoperative medications and set a time for suture removal. 7. After two weeks, suture removal, consultation with a specialist with the results of histology tests. In terms of time, it took three and a half hours of preparation and surgery and half an hour for the second visit. ONLY 4 HOURS. Payment by plastic card. THE AMOUNT IS ONE AND A HALF TIMES LESS THAN IT WAS SPENT ON ALL THE "DONATIONS" A YEAR AGO. THE CONSULTATIONS OF SPECIALISTS ARE OF HIGH QUALITY, THE OPERATION IS WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS. (A small nuance: instead of a standard 5 cm surgical incision and 1-1.5 cm wide sutures, the Tornado clinic made an incision twice as small and applied cosmetic stitches 2-3mm wide.) These were the bare facts, without emotion. Now about emotions... For the first time, my wife was in constant queues for 9 days, among people depressed by their illnesses and haggard medical staff. For the second time, a polite sister ran after her and, with a smile, almost by the hand, transferred her from office to office. Naturally, my wife is delighted with the Tornado clinic and scolds state medicine. I looked at it from the outside and I can say that my wife is not quite right. THE DOCTORS THERE ARE BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND KNOW THEIR JOB. There is still a Soviet system in state medicine - the protocol of the conveyor with the intra-status squabbles of the staff. Tornado treats the patient INDIVIDUALLY, appreciates his time and tries to minimize the inconveniences that are necessarily present with any disease. As a result, the differences on an emotional level are just fantastic
