Tragedy in the Provincial Hospital in Piotrków Trybunalski (Łódź Voivodeship). A 32-year-old woman died after an emergency room nurse refused to help her. The hospital's spokesman said that “there was a violation of the patient service procedure, i.e. the nurse failed to carry out the mandatory triage.” The employee was reprimanded. The prosecutor's office initiated an investigation.

The incident took place on January 20. According to local media, a 32-year-old woman from Ukraine reported to the Provincial Hospital in Piotrków Trybunalski with symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection, breathing problems and low blood pressure. However, the patient was not admitted because she was told that her condition did not require assistance in the hospital emergency department and she was sent to a doctor at the clinic. A few hours later, when the 32-year-old woman went to the clinic, the doctor said she was having a heart attack and her condition required immediate hospitalization. She was taken to the Piotrków hospital again by ambulance, but it was too late for help and the woman died.
