Ужас наяву Horror in reality

Rest time: August-September 2007, August-September 2008, July-August 2009
Treatment and rest in the Izvestiya sanatorium are self-compulsory, they went for treatment and rest on a FSS voucher, costing 99.000 rubles (2007), 124.000 rubles (2008), 140.000 rubles. (2009) for a period of 42 days (spinal cord injury) The Crimea is closed for spinal cords in Russia and now we have to explore the expanses of the Black Sea coast of Russia. There are good and accessible sanatoriums on the Black Sea coast, but the Izvestia sanatorium is not one of them.
I'll start with the number fund. 2-bed one-room suite (dormitory), which seems to have been renovated, but made by Ravshan and Dzhamshut. Before moving into the room, you must do the general cleaning yourself, changing 5-7 buckets of water using Domestos with bleach. the room was cleaned at best once a week or not cleaned at all. The furniture is shabby, all cracked and falling apart when touched. A kettle, glasses and a carafe for water must be begged from the hostess. Refrigerator from pre-perestroika times, working like a CZ tractor, but freezing?! , TV without a remote control shows 3 programs, with a remote control 6 programs, the air conditioner has not been cleaned since installation, it can only be turned on when there is no one in the room so as not to catch an infection and not to catch a cold because it is not temperature adjustable. The bed linen is gray, tattered, torn, from the times of the USSR and does not correspond to the size of the bed, they can fill only half of the bed. Toilet, shower, washbasin is another story. The shower is only called a shower, the faucet is from the 50s, after taking a shower, all the water flows into the common corridor. There is no toilet paper or soap, or you have to beg. There are no handrails, or they are installed for visibility. Mirror on the wall at the level of 2-meter walking people. A person in a wheelchair can see himself if he jumps up. Accommodation costs 2.600 rubles per day (2008) and 3.000 rubles per day (2009) for two in super-duper apartments.

Dining room: at first glance, everything is fine, then you look at unsanitary conditions as "food", or what can be called food, attacked by FLIES, greasy, green, and on the ceiling ribbons from last month covered with flies. The tablecloths are dirty with greasy prints. Napkins are divided into 4 parts, half a napkin per person at the table. The waitresses are sloppy, rude, in dirty uniforms.
Meals: three meals a day, mashed potatoes not from potatoes, but from instant bags, soup from Galina Blanca or Knor cubes, fish is the cheapest poorly cooked, cutlets, zrazy, etc. , it is impossible to eat, the impression is that from cutlets for breakfast ,!!!! ! at lunch, zrazy or meatballs were served abundantly poured with an incomprehensible sauce, we can say that only chicken (boiled or fried) is edible, if boiled, then on this day soup on chicken broth. Greens: parsley, dill, green onions are not served. in Sochi "does not grow". From fruits: bananas with black spots of an indefinite period of time, green apples, oak ones can break teeth, dried oranges from last New Year. For 42 days, I suffered from an organism disorder 3-4 times, but I underwent a complete bowel cleansing, apparently this is part of the treatment. True, the doctors said that he was poisoned by the sea, sea water, but there was a storm at sea and apparently poisoned by air. Food costs 120-150 rubles. per day, what good can you want to eat for that kind of money. "The money goes to the development of the sanatorium. "
Treatment: It simply does not exist. The doctor is one per building, "works" with ??? ? before lunch, there is no other medical staff. There is a certain attendant who tries not to notice you. Upon admission to the sanatorium, undergoing treatment and discharge, no tests are taken, there is no ECG, ultrasound and other studies. If you suddenly get sick, there is simply NO thermometer in the sanatorium, they send you to the pharmacy for medicine, but they offer it !! ! expired. It is not possible to get into the cabin of the therapeutic bath on a wheelchair, you get into the bath through a lounger with the cabin door open. You can take a bath only in underwear, iodine-bromine bath from a bag. The bath itself, in which you need to lie down, is of such a color that you don’t want to go to bed when it was last treated, it defies imagination. Back and leg massage includes 10-15 minute light strokes. Underwater massage did not take, because. I was afraid of killing myself when trying to get into the bath.
Gym LFK on the 6th floor, and the elevator only goes to the 5th. A shaking chair where half the shakers don't work. The minimum standard of treatment determined by the Ministry of Health in this sanatorium is not known, and indeed there are suspicions that 50% of the staff do not have a medical education.

Personal safety: whoever wants to walk around the territory of the sanatorium, ride scooters and cars. Dzhamshuts and Ravshans hang out around the sanatorium and the territory of the sanatorium around the clock, as if in their own establishment, in front of the eyes of vacationers, they mess with animals. To the comments of vacationers about their behavior, they promise to arrange a heavenly life !! ! Dogs and cats are fed by vacationers with what they themselves could not eat. Residents of nearby houses let their pets feed on the territory of the sanatorium. Room keys are rented and taken without a sanatorium book. "Come in whoever you like, take whatever you like. "
The park area of ​ ​ the sanatorium is chic, but not well maintained. Garbage, bottles, cans are lying everywhere, the janitor and gardener are apparently long gone from the sanatorium, horses graze in the park from time to time, leaving solid smelling heaps behind them. Some buildings of the sanatorium are rented out to guest workers who are building the Olympic Sochi.
Recreation and the beach: "Oh the sea, the sea, and once again the sea! ". How can a person in a wheelchair get to it? From the stated 400 meters to the sea, the actual distance is 800-1000 meters. This distance for a person in a wheelchair and his companion must be overcome with extreme !!! ! The extreme consists in the fact that you need to overcome a two-way, expressway, on which there is no pedestrian crossing, and on which cars rush at a speed of 80-100 km / h. This is where the most interesting event begins: Will you have time or will you not have time to cross three lanes to the dividing island ?? ? If you have time, then it’s good, there will be three more lanes, and on the way back from the sea everything will be repeated. There are also emergencies, so far without victims, but everything can happen....Then you need to go through the Broadway of stalls, drinking establishments and in front of the so-called beach go down a long and steep ramp, overcoming a smelly and dirty tunnel under the railway tracks.
Own spa beach is of course in a terrible, ugly state, because. anyone can go to it, can screw it up and leave. There is no one to remove it, only the sea removes it with its waves. Something flows through the sewer communications in the tunnel, which goes through the sand on the beach into the sea. From the tunnel to the beach, there is another ramp for spinals, at an angle of 45 degrees, but you can’t call it a ramp, because. You can drive in and out only with the help of 2-3 sports-built men. In wheelchairs, young guys help to go down to the beach, either lifeguards, or caretakers of the beach, or just employees of other institutions who came to swim.

This year, again, this sanatorium took part in the competition, a ticket will probably cost about 140.000 rubles. The state thus takes care of the disabled and those who were injured at work. It would be better if they gave this money in person, non-cash, by check, voucher, or anything, if necessary, I would add my own and rest and receive treatment in a decent sanatorium, which are available on the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory. But alas, the deputies and officials of Courchevel, the Bahamas and the Maldives, and the disabled "Izvestia's rooming house" in the future capital of the Olympic Games.
