THAT HAS THE VALUE OF LIFE FOR THE HEALTH DIRECTORS? BUSINESS ON THE PRESS
repeat this article from cronacaqui.it after the events in Turin, where a doctor and a nurse were investigated for manslaughter due to death from anaphylactic shock Wrong blood transfusion in a patient hospitalized in Emergency Surgery Molinette Hospital in Turin.
When tragedies happen like that of Irene Drive, who died in Turin for an unlucky exchange of blood bags, the last chapter in order of time of any unfortunate incidents involving the entire national health care, you can not store the facts with a barrage of court documents only where the defendants are doctors and nurses. As if, those official documents, investigations and processes could do it justice, though belated.
The real problem to be addressed, and not only in Turin, is the organization of emergency medicine, or even better than the first line of health that, 24 hours on 24, is called to intervene by rubella the attempted murder, from heart attack to a compound fracture. In the unceasing flow of stretchers, in the succession of white coats where decisions have to be very decisive and above all, organization, methods, procedures often jump at the urging of the emergency. and hours of work overlap, overtime are wasted (only to Molinette last year were over 150 thousand hours in multiple requests to the staff) and fatigue can make bad jokes.
To be honest there is a responsibility of hospitals easily identifiable, behind every tragedy. In the delivery room as ready, as emergency treatment in primary care. And these responsibilities can not escape because when you dig in the sand here is the discomfort that come out with complaints, requests, documents that send doctors and medical staff, often ignored, to their superiors. Ignored to the point that, when the complaint is too detailed, the doctor guilty of insubordination is beautifully transferred to the department.
happens too. And we repeat, not only in Turin. Even Nas, Commodities nuclei of the police, are working on these documents with the aim to ensure greater accountability, while the protest from the corridors of the hospital rooms of doctors and nurses forced to a "parking" infinite in emergency departments rounds and often debatable. A pot of boiling interminable time without knowing that a skilled hand and put out the fire order is in the work of medical and paramedical staff, is in the throes of patients often stacked packages such as corridors, endless forced to stop on a stretcher or share their pain with others, that promiscuity does not honor our medicine is, and remains in spite of everything, of great excellence.
Now that the pot has lost the cover, that judicial inquiries into the death of poor Mrs. Irene overlap and intertwine with those inside the health department and the region, we hope to have reached a crossroads: on the one part there is a risk of a dangerous conflict between hospital employees and the other the opportunity to turn the page, to remove power vacuums and (feared) abuse. Doctors at the emergency room and their nurses are not servants or soldiers in the trenches of the guns. They are entrusted with the first impact of the patient with the hospital and almost always in conditions of great discomfort. So here, in the first line, it must be done with funding and space useful and highly specialized personnel. To avoid chilling to listen to confidences like this: "Every time I go to the department I'm afraid. Fear of failure, fear of not having sufficient resources to intervene ... "
I tried to comment on this article, but it is clear that the disorganization, fatigue, work to live on the edge of the Burn-Out always put our class on the blade of the knife and it's a miracle if fatal errors in hospital wards are not as frequent.
A bit 'of guilt because I feel it is unacceptable that even the more limited additional staff and many of my colleagues already tired from working to agree to skip the holidays, shift to jump and rest, to make additional performance .......... This not only destroys our body ............ Even threaten our sick ............. for what ??????
make ends meet with a Deputy Mayor, General Manager, Director of OU incapable in economic management and staff.
Think about it carefully before AGREE TO REQUEST SPECIAL COVERAGE BY THE DEPARTMENT NURSING SHIFTS
