Viral delirium: she needs to be treated for cancer, but they ask her for a swab – Claudio Romiti

On the subject of a viral bureaucratic deceptionsLast Monday my friend’s mother underwent a complex and lengthy operation to remove a tumor. The doctor who operated on her urgently said that without the operation, the patient would have been at risk of premature death within three days. Well, luck – if we want to describe it that way – demanded that after we did the increasingly useless and harmful anti-Covid swab, the patient tested negativeotherwise we would have to wait until she was negative before taking her to the operating room, with disastrous consequences of the case.

The same friend also told me about another emergency relative who was hospitalized in the summer of 2022 for a heart attack, when there was no longer any viral emergency in our hospitals, who he was sent home for a week because he tested positive to the swab, although he was asymptomatic. In this last case, the doctors, before inserting a pass or two into the patient, had to carefully follow the instructions. crazy protocols against Covidwhich, as many people scattered across the Peninsula tell me on a regular basis, continues to strain our already exhausted health care resources.

In this sense, one has the idea that, like many other absurd protocols that in all areas should protect the safety of citizens, what still regulates the spread of disease is now at the level of a common cold placed strongly to our standard. series of absurd rules. Rules relating to delirium that the many, too many short-sighted problem solvers who manage the same security from a desktop, do not know how to read or write, continue to impose at all levels of social life and professional.

So much so that, in this regard, last Tuesday while I was in Todi for an urgent commitment, I came across a small construction site which, along with the classic package containing the dates and -standard authors, in plain sight. A great poster who reported ordinary, infinite list of anti-covid regulationsincluding the exhortation to “disinfect your hands often”. Because I don’t think there were doctors and nurses working on that construction site, but instead of bricklayers and laborers, this gives a good idea of ​​the level of viral discontent that still exists ‘ continue at all levels in this unfortunate country.

Again, especially with what’s happening in a health care system that’s getting worse and worse with very long waiting lists, we turn to the our incorruptible Minister of healthwho would have the power to end the word anyway irritating and self-destructive use of swab passes for any surgery. This is an unusual practice which clearly slows down and burdens the work of healthcare workers, creating further discomfort for those suffering from serious pathologies.
