(ANSA) – ROME, AUGUST 22 – Aggression and threats to the Civic hospital against the technicians of the Radiology department. This was reported by Fials which collected the stories of colleagues involved in yet another episode of violence in the ward. The incident happened yesterday afternoon, when the relatives of a deceased patient lashed out at the staff with serious threats such as “just as he died, now you too must die” who was pulled and hit by several out-of-control thugs. “. A doctor, the union reconstructs, was taken by the neck, a technician was hit in the eye, another was violently yanked to force him to open the door of the adjacent operating room. An accurate report was sent to the Directorate General to make a complaint.

According to Fials, “the surveillance service seems not to have intervened in radiology despite the requests for help sent” and “it would seem that these scenes were repeated also in the vicinity of the emergency room and pavilion 4” a few days after a similar event happened at the Second Medicine “.

The union also reports that, despite numerous requests, to date no support staff has been assigned to the central radiology service for night shifts and holidays.

“The weight of the work – he adds – falls entirely on the technicians and doctors, who are continually diverted from their work to carry out the duties of concierge, security guard, information point and order service”.

Fials claims that “even the interventional radiology premises in pavilion 17 / C are totally abandoned during the night and on holidays, to the point that the Tac premises have been elected as a refuge for homeless people who occasionally find shelter and refreshment there. , and that several times the staff called on-call must remove people who roam the ward “. The union therefore calls for extraordinary measures and “to undertake all those actions necessary to protect the safety and health of employees”.
