Yet another case of attack on doctors. Once again it is a woman who is beaten, in this case one doctor on the emergency medical service in Maruggio, in the Taranto region. In recent days, in the night between 17 and 18 August, i parents of childrenwith an eye problem and is not satisfied with the referral to consult a specialist, they taunted and forcibly dragged the doctor, who had to deal with himself, from the roomhowever, he suffered a shoulder injury. After the incident, the 32-year-old woman, who also had a panic attack after the attack, decided to resign.
“I write – he told the journalists who interviewed him – for all women. Of all the female doctors who work at three o’clock in the morning and are not able to have their partner nearby. I do it for them, for All We must be safe, at least having a security guard next to us is a noble job, available to others.
Doctors Union: “Dismissal defeats the NHS”
The withdrawal of a doctor who does not feel safe during his work, “and for this reason does not want to work in the National Health Center, is a defeat: it is a certificate that the system does not work. And the doctors left to go. protect ourselves this way, sooner or later we will all go.” This is the bitter reflection made by the President of the National Federation of Medical Associations (Fnomceo), Filippo Anelli, with Adnkronos Salute.
“Unfortunately it is the bitter end of this story – continued Anelli – and it seems to me that, on this matter, there have been many words so far. We need to do it. It is clear that there is a contradiction between all opinion polls that show confidence in doctors and appreciation of the doctor-patient relationship and then the anger which, however, is mainly the result of the system’s inefficiency cannot give those answers immediately, as the citizens would like, mainly because they are lacking professors. Either the government knew this was a health emergency or the system failed. “.
Many incidents of violence recorded this August which caused Anelli: from Chiari, in the area of Brescia, to Castellamare di Stabia, from Massa Carrara to Crotone, from Monfalcone (Gorizia) to Bari, Lecce, Foggia until the incident was reported yesterday. in the province of Taranto. “Let us also prevent this colleague – said Anelli – whom we are all close to, to leave his job. We ask President Emiliano to guarantee his safety, if necessary by giving him another office. Post it, I repeat, will be a defeat for the whole system and we cannot allow this, Losing our doctors, our professionals means blaming the National Health Service for slow pain.
“The government has implemented some measures – admitted Anelli – but more needs to be done. The repression is not enough to prevent an event that has many causes, first of all the lack of health workers, due to decades of defunding. It is not enough for the prosecution, if the games are not brought to light to hide the disorganization and malfunctions, attestations of solidarity and trust in the doctors are enough, if you have the first reaction and they become the scapegoats for what is wrong that health workers are needed, in the hospital and the community, who pay better and have more value, as well as the possibility of security measures are needed to bring peace back to the professionals.
“The numerous attacks of recent days – concluded Anelli – are a symptom of insecurity and a dangerous problem beyond the point of return. A tragedy that can only be cured with the facts, with the correct investments and with policies that restore safety and respect to caregivers and those being cared for.”
