New mourning between doctors for the Covid pandemic: there are 5 white coats, one in Vercelli, another in Aosta, whose death was announced today by the presidents of the Orders. Three of them were family doctors. Thus, 237 names will be remembered in the memorial of the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo). “We go back to the times of March – says President Fnomceo Filippo Anelli – we must understand why a true massacre is, especially in the context of general medicine”.

Only by understanding the causes of these deaths, adds Anelli, “which frankly we did not expect in the second wave, will we be able to prevent other deaths and honor our missing comrades. That is why we have proposed, according to the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, a follow-up “. in the territory “.

“Bad news from Vercelli: another GP, Dr. Franco Barillà, has died”, says Piergiorgio Fossale, outgoing president of the Piedmontese Omceo, expressing “sadness and a feeling of helplessness”.

“Aosta also has his mourning: Pippo Miceli, a general practitioner who died tonight after twenty days of fighting,” says Roberto Rosset, president of the Order of Physicians of the Aosta Valley. Miceli, 66, from Donnas, an orthopedic specialist, was hospitalized at Parini hospital in Aosta. He had contracted the virus a month ago in the micro-community of the country where he worked. His condition worsened and he died overnight.

“The massacre does not stop – adds Rosset – so far 33,717 health workers have been infected in the second wave and if the closures have allowed to slow down the epidemic curve, the reopening will only accelerate it, reopening the nightmare for many families. We cannot stop being silent, afflicted ”.

The other two dead doctors worked in Lombardy and Campania: “Giuseppe Minchiotti, 61, a member of the Order of Pavia, died of Covid – reports President Claudio Lisi – he was also a family doctor”. Dr. Sergio Pascale, Cimop union leader and former councilor of the Order, former head of the intensive care service at the Malzoni Clinic in Avellino, died yesterday in Avellino. He was 69 years old. “We are sad,” said Raffaele Iandolo, president of the National Cao and the Avellino Order.

And in the afternoon, Fnomceo gave the news of the death of Antonio Pugliese, from Roccabernarda in Calabria, an employee of Asp who worked in the territorial vaccination service.
