Viterbo – (I lose.pa.) – “I did a swab on Saturday, I know I am positive but from the ASL, to date, there is still no official news. Health professionals need more speed both to perform the tests and to know the answers ”. Goffredo Taborri, a family doctor, tells a story that, for him, is absurd.
“I have more than 1500 clients – explains Taborri -. Last Friday, I went to the Salus clinic with my wife and son to get an antigenic swab, that is, the fast one. After half an hour they gave us the result and only my wife tested positive.
But on Saturday morning I had a slight fever, so I decided to have a molecular test, which is more accurate. The three of us went to the drive-in where they issue credentials to go to the salutelazio.it website to see the report, but I still don’t know anything today. I also called Toc’s operational team, Coronavirus, and I am not officially included on the positivity lists. I know, however, that I am because, through unofficial friendships, I have been told that I am ”.
For Taborri “something is not working. I am a doctor and, in my opinion, the category of health workers, when certain things happen, should have priority because an account that a doctor is infected, who has thousands of people under his care, an account that happens to a private individual .
Fortunately, I am asymptomatic and, therefore, having had no news, I could have gone to work, but clearly I did not, with the consequent discomfort for my clients.
We hear on television that there are no doctors…. but if you had the answers in a short time you could go back to work as soon as possible ”.
Without wanting to be pessimistic, but as an expert in the sector, “I can say that we are only at the beginning and that in two months, with the first cold and winter, we will all be infected. It is written, it is not that I invented it ”.
That is why “the Local Health Authority – continues Taborri – must do something, because in this way we cannot move forward and I really ask that health workers, that is, doctors and nurses, but also assistants who are in nursing homes , have the preference “. , both in the smear and in the reception of the response, and this is because we serve others. Putting it in fact in the test tube belonging to this category, the swab could be read in half an hour to know the answer in an hour.
An outburst, as a GP, that also applies to other colleagues, because today I am positive, but tomorrow it could happen to someone else. I repeat, in a month or two we will all be, not sick, but infected, at least 80 percent of the population. There must be more speed ”.
What he denounces is that “they are not well organized and it is not possible that, since Saturday, I have not received the official response about my conditions. I’m scrupulous so I went inside, but could have done the opposite as I didn’t have any symptoms other than a mild fever for about an hour. If it had been someone else, maybe it would have kept hanging around. The swabs and the results, especially for health workers, should be obtained in a few hours – he concludes – and without waiting days ”.
