“She is a terrorist”: this is the phrase that a Teramo pediatrician heard from a pair of parents worried that their son complained of fever and cold over the phone. After the report, in fact, the doctor recommended that they subject the child to a swab to check for any positivity to the virus: an unwanted indication, after which the pediatrician was subjected to insults by the partner.

The pediatrician herself tells what happened through a post on Facebook: “Some parents hold us responsible for the protocol that we must enforce when a child falls ill even for reasons not considered serious, such as the common cold. I speak of the request for a buffer through the bodies created by this government (Siesp). The pediatrician or general practitioner who does not implement this protocol runs the risk of being imprisoned and expelled from the medical order as responsible for any epidemic. Parents, before you open your mouth, activate your brain, we are only pawns in this bureaucracy ”.

Then the doctor explained the details of the story to the newspaper Il Messaggero:

“This girl’s mother had telephoned her saying that her daughter had returned from kindergarten with a little cold, but over the weekend her health had deteriorated and she wanted me to prescribe medicine or a spray to do so. heal immediately so we can return to the nest. “

After having advised the execution of the hyssop “the mother and her partner verbally attacked me, giving me the epithets of incompetent, terrorist and other unrepeatable”: this is how the pediatrician’s story continues. After trying to get the couple to understand that this was the expected practice in these cases, the parents began to stop answering the phone. The doctor then reported the two to Teramo’s ASL.
