More than sold out, collapsed. At Brotzu the bed occupancy rate stands at 120%. "Definitely above that expected to guarantee the safety of care," reports Luigi Mascia, director of the complex structure of Pediatric Surgery and regional secretary of Cimo-Fesmed, the union of hospital doctors.
And the professionals, who do not want to be crushed under enormous pressure and gigantic responsibilities, leave: two letters of resignation have just been delivered by the Emergency Room. Which are added to those of the sixteen anesthetists lost in the last two years.
In this context, the green light for work at Businco fits in, with the renovation of the two old operating rooms and the construction of two brand new rooms. Good news. If it weren't for the fact that the current operating block is scheduled to close completely, patients who need to undergo surgery are transported to Brotzu by ambulance, operated on there, and then taken back for hospitalization. A "shuttle" that worries, and not a little, those in the industry.
