Yesterday, a doctor posted a post complaining about people ‘attacking him for no reason’.
The doctor deleted the post. Why?
Because it became clear in the comments that the doctor did not understand why the citizens were angry. The problem was in his attitude towards patients and ignoring the corruption that is destroying the Croatian health system.
When one user explained to him that he had a family medicine doctor who hadn’t been in the office for 15 years, that the nurse was doing the work of three people, and the specialists were examining him while Googling the symptoms… the doctor replied:
“Given the state of the country, you have to be happy if anyone is in the doctor’s office”
Why are patients being asked to be happy paying health insurance their whole lives for care they are not receiving?
The doctor decided to hold both the faculty chair and the office at the expense of the patients. It is not a state of affairs. It is a personal decision of one doctor not to come to work for 15 years, but still get paid and see the patients assigned to her.
And the doctor tells the man that he must be happy.
The doctor writes that the patient "he must be happy". Yes "you should be happy"yes "maybe you should be grateful in difficult circumstances"… but ‘must’. In fact, the doctor tells this to all patients who are in a similar situation.
When he says "they must be happy" he gives them an order. As if it is their duty to be satisfied with inadequate health care because he says so. Is that advice? Understanding? It’s none of those things.
This very attitude, that patients must be grateful for what they get, no matter how bad it is, is one of the reasons why people reacted angrily to his AMA.
‘The state of the country’ is an argument used by those who do not want to change things for the better. The attitude that irresponsibility is tolerated, that unprofessionalism is covered up, that patients are told "be happy that you have anything"… led to such a ‘state of affairs’
Citizens are not angry with the doctor personally. They are angry at the system in which the Minister of Health can embezzle taxpayers’ money through rigged purchases of medical equipment, get fired, receive a salary for another year and then calmly return to work as a neurosurgeon, as if nothing had happened.
Prof. Ph.D. Vili Beroš was arrested in November 2024 for accepting bribes for rigging public purchases of microscopes and medical robotics. While patients waited 146 days each for the first diagnostic examination, he helped the criminal group sell the equipment at inflated prices. And now, a year later, he is sitting in the same hospital where people have been waiting for months for examinations…
And the doctor tells the patients that “they must be happy if anyone is in the office.”
It is not a ‘state of the country’. It is structural irresponsibility that is tolerated because people like the aforementioned doctor normalize the abnormal.

Miislim da većina ljudi neopravdano sere po doktorima i svakoj internet priči ne vjerujem dok ne čujem i drugu stranu. Doktore primarne medicine i tako možeš mijenjati jednom godišnje, ako je lik bio toliko nezadovoljan što nije u dva klika promijenio doktora nego 15 godina trpi??? to što ne viđa doktora?
Sto je strukturalna neodgovornost nego stanje u drzavi? Koliko god je vlast kriva, nije sva krivica na njoj. I ljudi su krivi.
Očito je da je mislio “možeš biti sretan”, a ne “moraš”, nemoj srat bezveze, i to je samo po sebi fraza koji nije namijenjena da se shvati doslovno, nego je vezana uz to da kroz 5 godina neće biti dovoljno liječnika u primarnoj jer ih 40% ima preko 60 godina te idu u mirovinu, a novih specijalizanata nema dovoljno da to pokrije. U Kanadi 15% ljudi uopće nema LOM-a, u SAD-u je brojka blizu 30%. S vremenom će i kod nas tako biti. Eventualno ministarstvo može odlučiti povećati brojeve na limit pacijenata po liječniku, no onda ćeš se za liječnika obiteljske isto naručivati i čekati po mjesec-dva da dođeš na red. S obzirom na stanje u dosta zapadnih zemalja, ako možeš danas-sutra doći kod svog LOM-a, smatraj to luksuzom.
Dodaj na to da svaki radno aktivni građanin tijekom radnog vijeka s prosječnom plaćom, uplati za zdravstven doprinos oko 160.000€.
A kada nešto zatreba, bolje da odmah krene rješavati privatno, jer će osim novaca, izgubiti još i živce, a možda i zdravlje. Tema vouchera u zdravstvu se izbjegava.
Ljudi ne kuže da je zdravstveno osiguranje u suštini to da kad te hitna treba prevesti ili kad hitno trebaš operaciju ili slično.
Cifre koje koštaju nekoliko desetaka tisuća eura, ili kad ostaneš u bolnici tjedan dva.
To je poanta zdravstvenog osiguranja.
Odlazak doktoru ili zubaru jer me eto nešto tu malo boli ili mi je dosadno bi se trebao naplatiti.
Svi dodatni pregledi bi se isto trebali naplatiti te JEDINO ako se ustanovi da imaš zbilja bolest ti osiguranje vrati novce.
90% ljudi idu na kojekakve preglede bez veze a to sve košta.
Riba smrdi od glave, al se čisti od repa..
