«Our experience in the Olbia Emergency Department on Monday afternoon was a nightmare. Eight hours of waiting, staff on the verge of a nervous breakdown, no response on arrival , patients managed with the use of vigilantes. My brother, who was not well, would have to stay in the cold outside the hospital . We entered however, with a ruse, in the waiting room. All of this is not acceptable »: Giannina Mundula recounts her visit to the John Paul II hospital.
An experience that he reported to the Carabinieri. «I called the Arma – says Mundula – when I was threatened with a complaint by an emergency room operator . I went into the waiting room because it was cold outside and my brother had stitches in his chest. He was diagnosed with pneumonia . I was sad when, after having insisted that my brother be let in, I was told: "Where shall I put it, in my pocket?"».
Angelo Mundula, 63, Italian and French citizenship, brother of Giannina, is the person who was ill. He says: « Ours is not a controversy against doctors and nurses, there are few of them and patients arrive from all over northern Sardinia. It's the system that doesn't work . We arrived and no one answered us, the doors have no handles. It was cold outside and I was sick. I didn't know I had pneumonia and those chest pains could have been something else. I counted more security guards than nurses, this struck me ».
