00:00Today we hear more and more about aggression against health workers, doctors and nurses in particular.
00:11Especially, among other things, against female hygienists, and this is a very serious issue.
00:16It is a serious problem because soon there will probably be no one left to fight in the emergency department
00:22because there is no longer any doctor who wants to work there.
00:24And this is a serious problem, not only for doctors, but especially for citizens.
00:29We are working a lot on this to create those conditions of serenity in the work of the doctor.
00:36He must be protected in some way.
00:38So we must not only create and make laws that clearly increase the penalties in the case of aggression,
00:45which are certainly a deterrent.
00:47The main thing is to find solutions that are valid to protect these professionals,
00:54but also to avoid that patients or those who come with bad intentions
01:00can easily have direct contact with health workers.
01:05So, clearly, to create separate paths that guarantee safety.
01:10The other main thing is that the patient or whoever is going to call the doctor
01:16finds himself in situations where there is certainly something that does not work.
01:19He gets angry about something that does not work.
01:21Bureaucracy. The fact is that waiting lists are also a serious problem.
01:26So we need to solve the problems structurally, both in an organizational way,
01:30let's say structural, so let's say in some way an architectural barrier that avoids direct contact,
01:36but above all also organizational, which allows citizens to safely and in the right times
01:42to suffer the health benefits.
01:45In addition to this, there is clearly the fact of having to educate people
01:49to the fact that the doctor is at work to help them,
01:53so not certainly to create problems.
01:56So it is curious that a patient who goes for a health problem
02:00then ends up going to hit the health worker who has to assist him in some way.
02:05This is a fact that must be overcome.
02:07And to do this, we must sensitize public opinion.
02:11In fact, L'Ordine Medici is taking an important initiative.
02:14Next week, on the facade of L'Ordine Medici,
02:17we will put up a big sign with the inscription,
02:21stop violence to doctors.
02:23Obviously, this will also be done, I think, by nurses,
02:28in which they will be able to write, let's say, stop violence to nurses.
02:33I am also trying to involve the Lazio region,
02:39the Municipality of Rome, and I am also in contact with the Ministry
02:43to see if even at the governmental level a situation of this kind,
02:46therefore also at the national level,
02:48can already give that continuous and visible signal
02:52in front of the facades of L'Ordine Medici,
02:55but also of the institutional places,
02:58in order to make patients understand how serious what is happening is.
03:02Because soon we may no longer have professionals
03:05who want to enter the national health service
03:09and who can somehow take care of us at the time of greatest need.
