STOP – «A great nonsense». Indeed no, «The continuation of a fruitful collaboration». A convulsive day, yesterday, in Wide Area 4, after the announcement of the entry into the field of seven Covid home care specialists. The news made doctors turn up their noses General medicine, who felt overwhelmed. “It is a serious mistake, because the great work carried out by territorial medicine which, treating 96% of patients Covid at home and by significantly limiting access to the hospital world, it avoided a catastrophe ”, the provincial secretary of the Fimmg (Italian Federation of General Practitioners), Paolo Misericordia, scolded yesterday morning.
Changing strategy now, the trade unionist explained, would be a big mistake, because “it would give the idea that territorial medicine doesn’t work.” While “the specialists have to do the work in the hospital, where they serve like hot cakes”. The case broke out on 21 September, when the Region announced the entry into the field of hospital specialists to treat positive patients at home. Seven were assigned to Fermano: three internists, two cardiologists and two neurologists. But what is good news for some is less so for others. In the first group there is the regional councilor Fabrizio Cesetti who has submitted a question to the council to ask for the assignment, for Av 4, of other hospital specialists. In the second, family doctors. Or, at least, until late yesterday morning. When the Asur sent the white coats a clarification. In which it is said that hospital doctors will act as consultants, even with telemedicine, without replacing them in the home care of Covid patients. And that, only in case of need, they will go to the homes of the sick. The letter contains the names of the professionals that general practitioners can turn to for a consultation on the health of patients.
“As we have always done, in a fruitful relationship of collaboration throughout the epidemic, before making complex decisions and based on the professional relationships we had with them,” explains Misericordia. Who does not want to hear about hiring for general practitioners, as proposed by the regional councilor for health, Filippo Saltamartini. “What did not work during the pandemic – the trade unionist points the finger – is the hygiene and public health system, specialist services and first aid. Three areas characterized by strong work dependencies ». Misericordia, on the other hand, is said to be satisfied with the results obtained from the vaccination campaign. At least for the part of the competence of family doctors.
“In Fermano – he explains -, we administered a quarter of the doses of all the Marches, despite having a tenth of the doctors in the region”. But he pulls the ears of some colleague who “did not fully do their duty, especially at the beginning”. Meanwhile, yesterday, Don Dino Mancini of Fermo remained open all day for vaccinations for non-booked people. 328 showed up in the vaccination center in viale Trento. While tomorrow the reservations for the third doses of the over 80s open, yesterday, in the Fermano there was only one new contagion. Positive patients in Murri hospital also drop. Yesterday there were ten: nine in infectious diseases and one in intensive care. In quarantine, also yesterday, there were 278 people, of which 19 were symptomatic.
