The association Nobody Tocchi Ippocrate considers the images published by Urtis to be contrary to the decorum required by the medical code of ethics and requests an intervention from Fnomceo, which however specifies: “The report must be made to the provincial orders”.
The risqué photos published on social media by Giacomo Urtis, plastic surgeon for celebrities. In fact, medical and nursing staff throughout Italy consider them inadequate for their role as health professionals and ask them to take a step back and return to the ranks of decorum.
In particular, the complaints published on Facebook by the association were very harsh Hands off Hippocrates: “As an association made up of medical-nursing personnel who defend the categories, we would like to warn our colleague Giacomo Urtis about the terrible image he is giving to the medical category, a category which for centuries has been an emblem of professionalism, austerity and composure. It is unfortunate that individual attitudes throw away millennia of the history of science.”

Hands off Hippocrates also calls for an official warning, considering the images published on social media by the surgeon to be vulgar: “We remind our colleague that the Code of Conduct also regulates behaviors adopted outside of professional practice, when deemed relevant and affecting the decorum of the profession. Absolutely nothing to comment on sexual preferences and on being transgender/gay/bisexual, which are a sacred right of the human being, but certain photos with the backside in plain sight must be avoided. We ask the relevant medical association to recall the colleague and, if necessary, to take the necessary disciplinary measures.”
Hands off Hippocrates’ stance, however, sparked numerous protests, to which the association responded as follows: “We are privately receiving messages (even violent ones) from people who have read our post superficially and with their own very personal interpretation. Until today Giacomo Urtis (among other public figures) has been completely free to post what he wanted, live as he wanted and dress as he wanted. The problem was the photo in the public domain where the colleague can be seen lying on the bed on his stomach with his backside in plain sight. That highly undermines the decorum of the medical profession. Hands off Hippocrates does not say this, but rather the medical code of ethics, which establishes rules that a doctor must adhere to in order not to incur disciplinary sanctions”.
And again: “If we want to violate the rules, you are absolutely free to do so. In our history we have denounced colleagues who turned on ambulance sirens in an improper manner, even to inaugurate shops, and now they also denounce this, always and in any case to defend the profession. This time it was him, my colleague Urtis, who came under our watchful eye, so for many it was easy to brand us as ‘homophobic’ and ‘transphobic’, but we assure you that we would have done it with anyone (and our page, with hundreds of complaints, is a witness to it). We reported the ‘Urtis case’ via certified email to the National Federation of the Medical Association (Fnomceo), chaired by Dr. Filippo Anelli”.
However, Anelli himself clarified: “The report must be made to the provincial medical associations. If they sent it to the Federation, we will forward it to the competent Order. The Disciplinary Commission of the provincial Order to which he belongs must summon him and evaluate the case. The topic of decorum, even outside the practice of the profession, is dealt with in the Code of medical ethics, but it will be the provincial Order to which Urtis is registered that will intervene in the specific case”.
