There are no longer family doctors in Cassano. The category now – like families, understood in the traditional sense – risks extinction or perhaps, given the circumstances, has already become extinct without anyone knowing. The last outpost, therefore, of a shattered territorial healthcare system risks falling forever and causing the defeat of a system in continuous emergency. The warning signs do not give rise to any hope. It’s just a matter of time and then…
The clock then started to spin a little faster. Especially in Lauropoli where family doctors have fairly tight deadlines. In the beginning there were three and although already quite insufficient, two remained. One of whom, a few days ago started counting the few months that separate him from retirement. In the end there will only be one left (maybe). And we will have to “syrup” at least five thousand assisted people, as many as the registry office of one of the most populous hamlets of the Sybarite town has. An impossible, enormous, exaggerated number even for a Messiah capable of performing miracles with the laying on of hands and without prescribing even a box of cardioaspirin. In short, in Lauropoli, the situation is not the happiest and the future, at least that of local healthcare, does not promise much good. A contingency (if only that) which has recently bedeviled the municipal councilor of the dem group Gianluca Falbo, who in recent days – in anticipation of future inconveniences, to put it mildly – sent a letter to the manager of the provincial health authority asking account of a situation that has become “unsustainable and destined to turn for the worse”. The dem councilor, not without reason, in reference to the hamlet of Lauropoli speaks of “an unprecedented health crisis”.
