In Viadana, the ASST from Mantua has moved, meanwhile, and one of the three retired professionals already has his own substitute, who will nevertheless remain in office, as a practice, until December 31, 2020, before a new appointment , which will arrive with the new solar year.

VIADANA – Three doctors withdrew after a few days. And Viadana is already feeling the problem. Because the period, let’s face it, is not exactly normal and the latest news from the Covid emergency, which will also lead to general practitioners administering quick swabs to check the positivity of the virus, make these figures even more important than usual. In Viadana, however, as mentioned, three retirees: three historical figures, moreover, who for decades had worked in the municipality and in the hamlets, with various citizens.

“A general practitioner who retires – explains a neighbor of Viadana, who referred the problem to our newspaper – is not so easy to replace: we are not simply talking about one person leaving and another entering their place, a replacement like on the sport. The GP, in fact, knows the patient well because he has been treating him for many years, knows his pathologies and therefore has a kind of “history” of the person. A kind of database of medical knowledge that, however, on some occasions, as I have been able to verify personally, has not been maintained or passed on to the new professional upon arrival: that means starting over. And to say that new technologies should be useful precisely in these circumstances ”.

In Viadana, the ASST from Mantua has moved, meanwhile, and has already replaced one of the three retired professionals, who will remain in office, as a matter of practice, until December 31, 2020, before a new appointment, that will come with the new solar year. It is true that three out of five fewer general practitioners (the figures refer to the Viadana center, not counting in this case the general practitioners who have their headquarters and logistical base in the villages) are a significant loss, especially in light of the At a time when, at the health level, all of Italy is experiencing it, with Viadana being the second most affected city in the Mantua area by Covid, with almost 600 positive cases registered since the start of the pandemic. Now that the GP would also be indispensable as a figure for the administration of tampons, here are the dropouts. It is certainly not insignificant, according to the citizen who highlighted the problem.
