The father of a child who arrived with fever at the pediatric hospital Santobono di Napoli, and registered at triage with a green code, after just 13 minutes of waiting he burst into the visiting box and verbally insulted the doctor in question with foul language and verbal threats of physical, sexual and death aggression.
The episode, which occurred this morning, is reported in a post by the association “Nessuno tocchi Ippocrate”. “Despite the swift intervention of the security guards on duty,” it continues, “the kind father continued to rail against the doctor who had taken ill and found herself forced to report the incident and abandon her job to go to another hospital and then to the police station to file a necessary report.”
“Soon we will all go away, we will escape from this health system that does not protect us, we will escape from this reality that does not allow us to carry out our work with serenity,” the post continues.
