Полыхание №2 - Summary

Summary

The speaker shares their horrific experience of giving birth at a maternity hospital in Russia. Despite paying 120,000 rubles for a private room and supposed VIP treatment, the hospital was under construction, with dirt, dust, and construction debris everywhere. The staff was unhelpful and unprofessional, with the doctor yelling at the speaker's wife during contractions and forgetting to feed her after giving birth. The hospital lacked basic essentials like diapers, blankets, and working air conditioning, and the staff seemed completely disorganized and uncaring. The speaker's wife was left alone in the delivery room, and the baby was not provided with proper care after birth. The speaker expresses outrage and disappointment at the hospital's failure to provide adequate care, despite being paid for VIP services.
