Now it is clear: nobody is immune. Covid-19 can strike anyone at any time. While all security protocols are respected, it only takes a moment to become infected. At this time the Italian Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, in the figure of its president, the Neapolitan Francesco D’Andrea, director of the plastic surgery department of the Federico II university hospital in Naples, warns the government and, in particular, the health ministry so that patients not affected by Covid can continue to be treated and operated, guaranteeing at the same time maximum safety and protection of the patient.

D’Andrea himself, who lives and works in Naples, now emerges victorious from his battle against the virus and tells it publicly. His is a story like many others, but the difficulties and failures in the health system told by those who save lives every day in white coats make the situation even more worrying: “I lived first-hand, fortunately in a managed way. home, the chaos that accompanies Covid. Difficulty in connecting with local health authorities and general practitioners, uncertainty about the therapeutic indications to adapt to the symptoms, absence of the implementation of contact tracing, which I have done for my conscience in a personal way. Only later did I discover, by chance, that there is a therapeutic protocol established by the Region and downloadable from the official website of the institution for the management of patients with Covid, symptomatic and asymptomatic, in home care, but obviously not all care physicians elementary school know him. “.
Therefore, an appeal to politics, whatever your ideology, as well as to governments of whatever color, to “set the right guidelines and not send everyone in trouble.” In these hours, the order of Governor De Luca is expected, who has asked the government to completely close Campania for 30-40 days and the Dpcm of the new Prime Minister Conte. “The number of infections is constantly growing – continues D’Andrea – and the management of Covid is increasingly worrying. I am not a denier, reductionist, or terrorist, just a realist. Today the disease is more manageable and the number of severe cases is reduced in percentage compared to last spring. The latter is obviously encouraging. The problem is the high contagion and the exponential growth of those infected.
“If it is true that today, compared to phase 1, fewer people die – underlines President Sicure – because the therapies are more effective even for the most serious cases, it is also true that hospitalization is necessary for the latter to recover in a structure. hospital. And it is precisely here where criticality arises. If the institutions had moved in time and had foreseen an increase in intensive and sub-intensive beds and the hiring of health workers due to the chronic deficiency of our system, today we would not be talking about confinement, since everyone would have guaranteed adequate care “.
«I make myself available personally to meet the leaders of both our Government and the Campania Region, where I live and work – announces D’Andrea – after the experience I have lived and the one I see every day, to make my personal contribution. The second wave of the pandemic could have slowed down and not let us find ourselves – close to the usual flu epidemic like every year – now facing a collapsed health situation ”, he concludes.
