Recently, Ms. Zhang, a citizen, reported to the "News Square" concentric service platform that her father is an elderly person with dementia, and also suffers from Parkinson's disease, and has inconvenient legs and feet, and cannot get out of bed, but when declaring physical disability, he is required to be present in person to be evaluated by a designated medical institution, which has brought great trouble to Uncle Zhang's family.

73-year-old Uncle Zhang, suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, coronary atherosis and other diseases, due to the sequelae of cerebral infarction, his legs are unable to walk, and he is completely unable to take care of himself. Uncle Zhang's wife, Grandma Yuan, said: "At the beginning, I can walk 50 meters, and I won't walk at the back, but at this time I can sit, and the situation in the back is getting more and more serious, and by 23 years, people can't bend, and the whole person is like a plank." ”

Grandma Yuan said that the monthly retirement salary of the two is only 7,000 yuan, and Uncle Zhang's monthly expenses are nearly 10,000 yuan, so he hopes to apply for a subsidy to supplement the family, in December last year, the daughter applied to the Xuhui District Disabled Persons' Federation for physical disability identification on behalf of her father, but the other party said that at present, Uncle Zhang often lives in a secondary hospital in Jing'an District, and according to the corresponding work requirements, he should apply to the street affairs center where this medical institution is located.

Grandma Yuan said: "They said that there was no way to come to the door for identification, and they could only come to the door for identification until it reached the level of 'a nail got into his leg and he was unconscious'." But Uncle Zhang's family believes that according to the current situation, Uncle Zhang himself has no way to go to the hospital. "Because he speaks, you can't hear clearly, you don't know what to say, and it's even more impossible to tell him to walk over on his own, and none of us have the ability to move him over. Grandma Yuan said.

So what is Uncle Zhang's condition at present? Fang Ji came to the Shanghai Gonghui Hospital, where Uncle Zhang was stayed, and the doctor in charge of his bed suggested that it was best not to leave the hospital. "Based on the materials submitted by his daughter, we found that he did not meet the requirements of our door-to-door evaluation.

We first require muscle tone to be 0 to 1, second, to be in a persistent vegetative state, and third, to be in a deep coma for more than 6 months. ”

Yin Tingting, a staff member of the Pengpu Town Disabled Persons' Federation, said: "The family's self-report is only a shallow coma, not a deep coma, so we can't issue these certificates, and we won't handle it just by looking at the materials." However, the staff member also said that they would take a step forward and contact the doctors of the community hospital to go to the Gonghui Hospital to judge Uncle Zhang's situation on the spot.
