Rome, 10 mg. (beraking latest news Salute) – “Badly beaten just for trying to enforce the rules. Almost strangled and then thrown to the ground, attacked with scratches, kicks and punches, just because he tried to make the relatives of that elderly patient understand. died after being transported by ambulance, which was not possible to have access to the internal hall due to the strict anti-Covid restrictions “. It happened to a nurse from the Locri hospital and “only the arrival of the carabinieri, promptly warned by the nurse’s colleagues, made it possible to avoid more serious consequences”. This was reported by the Nursing Up nurses’ union in a note.

“In the hospital in the province of Reggio Calabria, as is known, as well as in many realities of the Region – reports Antonio De Palma, president of Nursing Up – there is a complete lack of a fixed police station. And the cameras installed 24 hours a day were not enough. to act as a deterrent to man’s anger. We are facing yet another shameful episode of violence against a nurse: our survey-research carried out in 2019 under the WHO umbrella showed that one in 10 nurses in the course in his career he has suffered at least one act of physical assault in the workplace, “he recalls.

“What have the much-vaunted National Observatories led to? What positive effects have they actually generated to avoid the brutalities that occur every day in hospitals in the bud?” Asks De Palma.

“And what has happened so far with that law approved last September to exacerbate the penalties, welcomed with jubilation and trumpet blasts even by our own Federation? Did someone really think that to act only by exacerbating the penalties for those who commit this hateful crime of violence against could health personnel act as a deterrent? “, continues the president of Nursing Up.

“In the months preceding the approval of the law we shouted all our disapproval everywhere and we still do it now – he reports – on the same wavelength as then, because nothing has changed. We need the competence and strength of police officers. in every hospital – he warns – a greater deployment of men is needed who must defend our nurses and doctors, those who are more exposed than others, and who cannot and must not pay for the anger of the uncivilized “.

“And we certainly cannot forget – concludes the trade unionist – the risks that those 118 nurse operators run who go to patients’ homes, at the risk of becoming the subject of violence on the part of those who, above all, feel even stronger and untouchable at the inside their own home “.
