The images of the attack on a Neapolitan doctor who was literally "grabbed by the neck" by the daughter of a patient have been making the rounds in the national media. Giugliano.
Bruno Zuccarelli, regional secretary of the union of medical managers, speaks of a situation that is now well beyond the limit. “It is not possible to work shifts that can last up to 18 consecutive hours, to be insulted for waiting too long or beaten up if you don't like something or if you can't always avoid a death.
None of us studied for years and sacrificed our family life for this. Many stay, driven by passion, but there are more and more who choose to leave”.
Zuccarelli's words are certainly not of surrender, given that the union of medical directors is now launching a campaign that uses harsh language, that of war, to make people understand how important the safety of white coats is for the stability of the national health system.
Hence a strong and provocative initiative, the recording of a commercial in which the doctors protagonists, after having put on the "regulation" coat, also wear a bulletproof vest and military helmet.
“At a time like this, in which the shadows of wars that seemed impossible are unfortunately looming again, we would have liked to avoid resorting to this language”, explained the regional leader of Anaao Assomed.
“However, there is no more time and we need politics first and foremost, but also the many good citizens, to wake up from their torpor and join us to say enough”.
The aim of the campaign is to prevent these attacks from continuing to be talked about as an inescapable fate, because, concludes Zuccarelli “If things continue like this, very soon there will be no more public health to defend and only those who can afford it will have access to the best care.”
