CARRARA – “A cluster with seven infected people at the Sicari polyclinic in Carrara (in Monoblocco). And it was discovered only thanks to the sense of responsibility of the operators who, after waiting 15 days for the swab from the USL Northwest of Tuscany, without success, decided to do it in private and discovered the truth: 7 are positive. Only thanks to his dedication a disaster was avoided, from infecting the patients who had to be operated on ”. It is the bitter outburst of Claudio Salvadori, secretary of Uil Fpl de Massa-Carrara, informed by the workers in the last hours of what happened in the complex operational unit of Carrara.
“A very serious fact that calls into question the protection of the health of operators by our health company. Dermatology performs numerous surgeries a week in outpatient poly-surgery operating rooms, working for 4 days: for two days it occupies two rooms, for another two days a single room. In any case, the shift workforce varies from 2 to 4 nurses, to which the colleagues from the polosurgery join when one of the tenants is missing. Not only – continues the secretary Uil Fpl -: the changing room is always shared with the staff of all the operating rooms and the same environments are frequented by the socio-sanitary operators (Oss). Fifteen days ago there had been the first positive case of a nurse and colleagues followed the protocol from the first moment sending the report to preventive medicine ”.
Since then, however, silence: “The staff, with a deep spirit of sacrifice and dedication, and also with a hint of fear, as someone else began to show symptoms, decided to make swabs from private laboratories: a real irony. Employees public forced to resort to the private sector. And 5 of 6 of the polyspecialists in surgery tested positive, to which was added a seventh of dermatology. All the cards informed the ASL that responded thus: the risk of contagion is low. In fact , refusing to make a control swab. An absurdity given that the same health company had to force them to do it while we understand that only the coordinator did it … If it were confirmed, why this difference in treatment? We want to emphasize that Several workers at the Apuane Hospital have not received swabs or serological tests since March, while in Versilia they are carried out regularly. In short, at a time when the company is trying to To hire nurses and Oss to deal with the emergency, it is another unique contradiction not to take all possible precautions to ensure that those on duty do not get sick and then are absent for long periods. “
For Salvadori it is a “real group and it would be advisable to swab all of them to protect the health of the employees and prevent or block the spread of the virus. Attitude that is not deontological, contrary to the role that corresponds to a public health company. We ask the ASL for answers and that we completely change the strategy because in this way we run the risk of generating an outbreak of contagion inside health facilities, where patients must be treated and saved ”.
