The ASL doubles the helicopter rescue service
transfers also will be strengthened by sea patrol
PORTOFERRAIO. The helicopter doubles. There will be two helicopters that will operate the 118 on the island. Next to the Pegasus 2, which is based in Grosseto 3 can also operate the Pegasus Room at Mass that will be enabled on the fly on the water and can thus ensure the presence of a replacement vehicle. But not only. The transfers of the sick will be reinforced by sea with alternative means to ferries. There will be more smoothly in the event of non availability of the transport plane based in Grosseto for failure than for any other intervention, but also there will be no transfer of more seriously ill patients with no liners. A project led by the director general of ASL 6 Livorno, Monica Calamai, who has already submitted a request to the Region (the opinion seems to assume) to have, and other islands of the Elbe, the availability of replacement air half the Pegasus 2 which is located in Grosseto. One half of the 118 emergency, one of three which are peculiar to the region that will work, in this case, Massa. Calamai says: "I think we should also start a further reflection on the transport by sea in the light of past experiences, as in the recent case of a child who was subsequently admitted to Mayer. We need new strategies and new media when there is the possibility of weather to use the Pegasus. We want to standardize the service also on the sea route that needs to go beyond the use of the ferry across the vessels also enabled the police to this service. We must be sure that you have done everything possibile. Di sicuro con il doppio elicottero e un diverso percorso marittimo, oltre al traghetto, il livello assistenziale sarà molto migliorato». Sempre in quest'ottica sarà attivato un posto letto per la sub intensiva. Il posto letto è quasi pronto, manca la fornitura di un monitor e dovrà essere formato il personale infermieristico ma è solo questione di settimane.

If anyone is still dreading the dismantling of our hospital, we also put his mind at rest because the decommissioning has already occurred. These days I got to go to visit hospital patients and so I personally have seen the deterioration of our hospital. A continuous nothing worth the health department's statements that always tries to reassure on improving quality and quantity of services.

In a crisis like this, give up a seat permanent employment in a public institution seems really crazy. Eppure qualcuno ha avuto il coraggio di farlo, e ci ha chiamato per raccontare la sua storia. Ben Ali, 32 anni, tunisino, è all’ospedale di Portoferraio da un anno e mezzo, dopo aver vinto un concorso da infermiere professionale. Ha in mano la sua lettera di dimissioni, appena protocollata dagli uffici di San Rocco. Perché un gesto simile, gli abbiamo chiesto: “Sentivo di avere l’obbligo morale di farlo, almeno per me stesso – ci ha detto in tono pacato ma molto deciso – quando uno si alza al mattino per andare a lavorare deve essere sereno, qui invece stiamo vivendo una situazione abbastanza critica per mancanza di personale. Trovarsi da solo con dodici, sedici, a volte 22 posti letto da gestire a livello di care, treatment, emergencies, it's very stressful. When one is 30 years old like me, try to work hard and make the others feel good, and do not want to risk that something happens that does not depend on him. " Ben Ali works - or rather, worked - in the medical department on the third floor of the hospital of Portoferraio. "It 'a situation that has gone on now for a year and a half - he says - we wrote to hospital officials and trade unions to denounce this situation, we have made every meeting possible and imaginable, we are spending so many words, and now it's time to do something, at least as far as I'm concerned. For a year and a half lack staff with my qualification. When I did the competition for the Elbe we were thirty, and have come here at least a dozen, then after five or six months, many have asked for transfer to Piombino and Livorno: there would then be asked because it lacks the staff , but mostly because people do not want to work stay at Elba. Everyone knows the difficulties. I like to stay in Elba, but I had to face it too, and not just the problem of the cost to rent the apartments, but especially for working conditions. " We asked Ben Ali if there were specific incidents that led him to take this drastic decision, and he responded by simply telling quello che è successo stanotte in reparto: “Ieri sera nel nostro turno eravamo in due in alta intensità e in bassa intensità, due zone separate da tre porte chiuse, e ci siamo chiesti: ma se uno di noi due si sente male , chi lo sostituisce? Io ho chiamato i responsabili, ho chiamato anche i Carabinieri per far presente questa situazione a rischio. Mi è stato risposto: ma alle dieci di sera io che cosa posso fare? Probabilmente – ha aggiunto l’ormai ex infermiere con una punta di amarezza – bisogna aspettare che succeda qualcosa di grave per prendere provvedimenti. Se io sbaglio qualcosa nel mio lavoro, se non posso dare assistenza ai pazienti del mio reparto, arriva subito qualcuno a chiedermene conto”. Abbiamo chiesto a Ben Ali se si fosse confrontato con i suoi colleghi, “ma loro – ci ha risposto – questi problemi li vedono dal loro punto di vista, ed hanno i loro buoni motivi per andare avanti: io sono giovane, non ho famiglia, e non me la sento di andare avanti così”. E da domani, cosa farà? “A questo punto apro una partita IVA e lavorerò in proprio: mi assumerò le mie personali responsabilità, mi organizzerò nella maniera migliore per le mie esigenze e per la mia coscienza: lavorare da dipendente in questa sanità, oggi, non è più conveniente, è un rischio che non voglio correre”. 
Reorganisation and mergers in the hospital wards not convince the Elbe Health Committee, which focuses primarily on the lack of personnel. "The reorganization is proceeding rather quickly - explains Michele Rampini, spokesman for the Health Committee Elba - leaves us puzzled on some issues, including, in particular, the lack of personnel. We know that resources are limited and therefore there is need to rationalize the system; qello we note that, though - Grappling points out - is that behind this organization is not sufficient staff to support it and can not produce quell'efficienza that it should produce. In Radiology there are only two radiologists. There are two anesthesiologists, one of whom works 24 hours on 24 and one on call. To hold throughout the hospital seems very little. " 
Nobody is going to replace it. Or rather, no one will fill a position in the department of primary Elba as the new structure of all the hospitals Leghorn Asl sees a role in question is covered by a department head is responsible for managing the specialty - in this case medicine but it applies to all areas of health intervention - in the various hospitals' company.
