Sometimes, the simplest wishes are the greatest gifts. In the past, we’ve fulfilled dreams that might seem like “little” at first glance but are an unattainable “much” for those who long for them. One such dream was simply returning home, even if only for the final chapter of life. Who among us wouldn’t wish to end their life’s story in a beloved place, surrounded by their loved ones?
For Mrs. Maruška, who received a painful diagnosis far too soon, one obstacle stood in her way—her health condition. její zdravotní stav.
Převoz domů mohl být uskutečněn ale pouze sanitkou v doprovodu zdravotnického záchranáře. Problémem však bylo, že tato služba není hrazena zdravotními pojišťovnami. A tak jsme přišli na řadu my, jako poslední naděje.
The return home was made possible after discussions with the palliative care team from FN Plzeň Faculty Hospital Plzeň - Official Website.That very morning, on the day of the planned transport, it was still uncertain whether Mrs. Marie would be able to make the journey... However, during the rounds, the decision was made: she’s going HOME.
The demanding journey ended with a tearful and joyous reunion with her family. Hospice workers were already waiting at the destination and immediately took over care for the happy traveler.
Once again, we were struck by how little is needed yet how much is missing—such as support from insurance providers for families in situations like Mrs. Marie's.
