The general practitioners of Racconigi sound the alarm, they are getting sick and it is difficult to replace them in this period made even more difficult by the double workload.
“I speak for my colleagues – explains the doctor Patrizia Ellena – in our city in the midst of the emergency we have three sick doctors, one is positive and two are under investigation. The moment is critical – he adds bitterly – each of us is subjected to two tasks at the same time, one of managing the pandemic in the area and the other of normal disease management. At this time it is very difficult to find doctors to replace sick doctors, my healthy colleagues will have to manage the entire population of Racconigi “.
“We ask for help to be able to work better and underline: it is important that the phone calls are limited to urgencies and short, health is important for all of us, we must think that there are many who need it. In 95% the covid has no symptoms, but in 5% of cases the sick are serious and they must be able to be treated and, if necessary, have access to the emergency room. Therefore, do not go to the emergency room if you do not have severe symptoms “.
And finally he adds: “Even if you have mild symptoms it is important to do the 14 days of isolation, it is not important to know if you are positive or not. The USCAs are unable to respond quickly to all requests.”
