Almost total blockage of the operating room, stoppage of activities, if not for the simplest interventions, of the Orthopedics department: these are the consequences of the unavailability of one of the four anesthetists in service at Paolo Dettori in Tempio .
The Alta Gallura hospital is, in fact, almost completely paralyzed for two fundamental services . On this point, there is a tough position taken by the regional councilor of the Democratic Party, Giuseppe Meloni, who has asked for an account of what is happening to the Solinas junta.
Meloni says: «Despite the change at the top of the health department, the bleeding of medical and nursing staff in Gallura hospitals does not stop. The latest event in chronological order concerns the Paolo Dettori hospital in Tempio, which starting today, due to the resignation of one anesthetist out of the four in service (which therefore go down to three), suffers the abrupt interruption of the activity of the operating block for all interventions in which the patient needs to stay overnight and which therefore cannot be carried out in day hospital. Surgery and traumatology in fact closed in Alta Gallura , pace for example of all those patients who, with an annual average of 400-500 units, are assisted at Paolo Dettori (which, I remind you, is part of the regional trauma network ) for fractures of various types that require interventions with the assistance of an anesthetist and hospitalization with at least one night in hospital. This situation, represented in black and white in recent days by the heads of the ASL Gallura, as well as causing serious and intolerable inconvenience to patients in the upper Gallura, risks having harmful consequences on the daily activity of the Giovanni Paolo II hospital in Olbia, which already today it takes place in extremely deficient conditions».
