Napoli.Minaccia medici e infermiere del pronto soccorso dell’ospedale san Paolo con l’asta della flebo, poi rompe, computer , fotocopiatrici e stampante.
And it is only thanks to the intervention of the police that he is immobilized and blocked. The patient complained that someone had stolen his cell phone during the checks.
But in the end it was discovered that he had forgotten it on the windowsill while smoking a cigarette. The man, a 49-year-old from Soccavo, was reported by the police. It is the umpteenth story of aggression (number 60 in 2018) against doctors and patients in Neapolitan hospitals.
The news, with the usual wealth of details, is reported on the Facebook page of the Association 'Nessuno tocchi Ippocrate'. Here is what Guido Goretti, one of the protagonists of those moments of fear, said: “It's about 4 in the morning, I should be able to work.
Instead there's a guy in front of me who's swinging IV poles around and threatening us. He throws one and it hits the table.
Then he finds a second one, and hits my computer. Once he runs out of IV poles, he has nothing left to throw except the stretchers.
And then he starts again. At least we're protected by a table, he'll hardly be able to throw them further, I think.
And in fact, in the end, by moving away from the table, we manage to get to shelter. He complains about a cell phone that he says was stolen.
A little while later, he begins making threats. If his cell phone doesn't turn up, he says, he'll go get some gasoline and set fire to the emergency room.
With us inside. He gives us two minutes to return it and after two minutes he starts throwing photocopiers and printers in the air, destroying them.
Then finally the police arrive and the puppy finally calms down. Oh, obviously he had forgotten his cell phone on the windowsill during his cigarette break."
