According to what the association “Nessuno tocchi Ippocrate” reported on social media, today a man who arrived at the hospital in Pozzuoli punched the triage door and pulled two nurses who had come out after being called by the noise.
The man - this is what was reported - would have arrived on board a car with his father asking for the presence of a nurse to take the father from the car. While waiting he would have punched the door.
“Once again we are faced with an unacceptable episode of unjustified violence against healthcare personnel on duty at the emergency room in Pozzuoli,” says Avs MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli, who calls for zero tolerance towards those “who with their behavior put the health and safety of patients at risk, making the work of doctors, nurses and security guards, to whom I extend my solidarity, truly unsustainable.”
According to “Nessuno tocchi Ippocrate” this is the 12th episode recorded since the beginning of the year between the ASL Napoli 1 and Napoli 2.

This episode shows how the situation in hospitals has become critical and dangerous. We can no longer tolerate violence towards those who work to help others, this must stop immediately.
Yes, it is true that there are too many incidents of violence. Nurses and doctors do a difficult job and deserve respect. We must find ways to ensure their safety in hospitals.
