February 2, 2018.-



Alarming are the mortality figures in the state as far as renal patients are concerned. Statistics indicate that during the last semester of 2017 about 50 people died in the state. Intermittent dialysis is a determining factor to explain this phenomenon.



"When you see the drama that renal patients go through in Venezuela, you understand that what is left to the sick is to die, and clinically, these people should be dialyzed at least four hours a day, but in Lara, people in the best of cases they last two hours, "said Dr. Javier Castillo, a nephrologist.



The specialist says that on more than one occasion he has had to comfort some family member in the middle of dialysis. "You see people who are already in the terminal stage and you have to be honest with the relatives, I've seen patients in such bad condition that I wonder how they have done to get there," he confesses.



Luzmila Leal, an internist, also spoke about the conditions in which the sick are in the state and said that it is inhuman to have people who are torn between life and death begging for treatment. "What happens in Venezuela is not seen in another part of the world," lamented Leal.

Aporrea.org is a website devoted to the memory of Hugo Chavez and his legacy. For this website to offer this sort of commentary on Venezuela shows the depravity of what passes for Bolivarian Socialism.
