Bulgaria in the foreign media – September 21 (ROUNDUP)
Bulgarian becomes victim of doctor’s mistake in Canada: Bulgarian doctors healed Canadian citizen of Bulgarian origin, who was diagnosed “fine” by medics in Canada, The National Post writes.
Kapka Petrov never feels hungry. Ever. She has to remember to eat in order to survive. Her life changed with excruciating stomach pains that began right after gall bladder surgery in 2009. She also needed help to shower, dress, even eat. She got no help, she said, from her medical team. “I would express to doctors how I would feel and they would write in the report that it’s just fine,” says the 40-year-old Toronto mother.
Desperate for a solution after eight hospitalizations in one year, Petrov and her family sought medical care in her native Bulgaria. Doctors there found the cause of the pain — a metal clip holding together various body parts, including the main nerve of her liver and an artery, lodged deep inside her stomach. The surgeon accidentally left it behind in 2009.
“I felt betrayed,” recalls Petrov.
She’s one of many Canadians who have fallen victim to harmful medical errors. In fact, forgetting foreign objects in a patient during surgery is one of 15 predictable and preventable mistakes — called “never events” — listed in a new report by the Health Quality Ontario and the Canadian Patient Safety Institute. The two agencies, which monitor the quality of health care and advise government on improving it, looked at international cases, surveyed Canadian nurses, doctors and other health-care professionals and held an online public consultation to produce the list.
Columbus native to teach English in Bulgaria: A love of Slavic languages has led a Columbus native to pursue teaching English in Bulgaria, The Republic writes.
Connor Leach, 23, a 2015 Indiana University graduate, has been chosen as a Fulbright Scholar, serving as an English teaching assistant for eighth and ninth grade Bulgarian students.
Right now, Leach is in the beginning phase of his 11-month experience in Sofia, Bulgaria. Leach said he was always drawn to the culture of southeastern Europe, which motivated him to earn degrees in Slavic languages, Turkish and political science. His interests took him all the way to St. Petersburg, Russia, for a semester, where he volunteered with local non-governmental organizations and helped Russian students prepare to take the SAT for entrance into American universities.
“They had a lot of trouble with SAT words and memorizing them, so I had them watch ‘The Simpsons,’” Leach said. “That gave them contact with the American culture.”
When he returned from Russia and heard about the Fulbright program — a teaching position that would allow him to once again use his linguistic abilities in a classroom setting — the opportunity seemed too good for Leach to pass up.
Four Bulgarian pimps sentenced in France: Court in the French city of Laon convicted four Bulgarians of inciting people to prostitution on the territory of France in 2004-2005, French L’Aisne Nouvelle reported.
The defendants are three women and one man, who apart from the jail sentences were also banned from entering the territory of France.
The man, Efraim Smailov, was sentenced to two years in jail, while the women – Zlatka Ivanova, Eleonora Demirova and Myuzhdyan Aliev – to one year in jail.
Turkey police block new migrant march to Greek border: A new march by migrants trying to reach Europe overland from Turkey was blocked by police outside Istanbul Monday, AFP reported.
Around 700 mostly Syrian men, women and children from a group that had been blocked for the past week at Istanbul's main bus station set out overnight on footfor the northwestern city of Edirne, 250 kilometres (150 miles) away.
After spending the night camped on the hard shoulder of the motorway, some of the migrants, who carried bags over their shoulders, managed to clamber aboard buses or private vehicles.
But a few hundred continued to walk along the emergency lane, in the midst of snarling morning traffic, before being brought to a halt by police about 50 kilometres (31 miles) from Istanbul, an AFP photographer witnessed.
Situated around 10 kilometres (six miles) from the Greek border and 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the Bulgarian frontier, Edirne has become a new rallying point for migrants trying to reach Europe.
Residents of Marseille raise money for homeless Bulgarian: Residents of the French city of Marseille were deeply touched by the story of a 62-year-old Bulgarian man named Kolyo, who was left homeless after his car was confiscated on September 9, French La Provence writes.
The local citizens decided to help the homeless man and started raising money to buy him a used caravan.
When Kolyo heard the news he was overcome with hope and joy. “I will finally have a bed,” he remarked speaking for La Provence.
The Bulgarian man came to France to work but became a victim of human trafficking and labour exploitation. The situation he finds himself in is complicated further by the several illnesses he suffers.
