Blesk Ordinace Praha helped: 8 malignant tumors, two eye operations
Other unpleasant diagnoses were heard by several people who stood in line and had their birthmark examined. In the case of Mrs. Stanislava Zámboová (77) from Prague, the doctor detected a basal cell carcinoma and directed the patient to the ambulance next week, where the skin tumor will be removed.
Jana Benešová (76) was also enthusiastic about the dermatologists’ approach. “I was in a shopping center in the summer, where they also investigated moles. The doctor just didn’t like it very much, he contacted me that he would contact me. But it didn’t happen,” Mrs. Jana confided and continued: “So I called a large hospital in Prague that I needed to remove a suspicious lump on the skin, and they gave me an appointment only in December. That’s why I’m here and I’m in for a pleasant shock. The hospital here is really great. I am going soon without an appointment to remove the dangerous mark. This is a really great approach to patients.” praised Mrs. Benešová, whose melanoma was already removed by doctors the following week.

Loyal visitor from Moravia
He got up after midnight and was on the train at two in the morning. The destination of the trip was clear: Prague Blesk Ordinace. The vital and smiling Jiří Jeřábek (82) from Moravský Krumlov made the same journey in 2019. He honestly underwent several examinations, took a picture with the minister and promised to come again next time. When asked why he drove such a distance, he replied: “Because these doctors are the best.” See you in a year, Mr. Jiří!

Only under the supervision of the girls from the Counseling Center for a Healthy Lifestyle did he try out how to practice walking with holes, so-called Nordic walking. “It’s an ideal sport activity that can be done at any age,” explained obesitologist Martin Matoulek to the minister, who was monitoring the correctness of the execution in the background.
Kateřina Baranová, Blesk editor, firsthand
Pulmonologist Michal Šotola: You have good curves, but…
During the three years of Blesk Ordinace, we reminded you how important it is. During the last stay in Prague, the editor Kateřina Baranová also tried the examination on her own skin. First, doctors are guided by the birthmark. “I was a bit worried here, because a problem can appear even when you feel fine. Fortunately, everything turned out well.” she admitted. She monitored blood sugar, blood pressure and eye checks. The results were normal.
But… That only came to the end: the lung capacity test, when you have to breathe into the device for a long time. And the result? Great beyond expectations.“You have good curves, but the blemish on your beauty is your smoking,” said MUDr. Michal Šotola and forcefully ordered a transfer to a drug addiction clinic.
The last stop was at the paramedic. “I learned how to proceed when I find a person lying in the street. And the fact that I have to hold out my purse in front of me before I find out that a person needs help and maybe just a sleeping junkie who could hurt me.” added Kateřina.
