“I have passed a document from a health company in Calabria where it can be read that a fine of 10 thousand euros was imposed on a general practitioner“guilty” of having prescribed gastroprotectors and anti -inflammatory which according to those who govern should not be prescribed. It is the announcement of a fine but it is actually the certification of the moral failure of this country, which chooses to be indebted to waste money in weapons, but fines doctors because it wants to save on drugs ».
Nicola Fratoianni of Avs writes it in a post published on Facebook. “The doctor is called Angelo Broccolo, he is Calabrian and is a manager of my party, but this fine – adds the leader of Si – has also reached many other doctors in Calabria. They prescribed drugs on “red recipe” (today it is said to be dematerialized) that is, without costs to patients, against what provides for the decision of the commissioners in Calabria, which even cut on drugs. What is the effect? That basic doctors will no longer prescribe anti -inflammatory or gastroprotectors and in some cases not even antibiotics, unless the patient pays them with his pocket. A real crap, in the region that spends 300 million euros every year to make its citizens cure out of the Calabrian borders. We would oppose this fine, to this shame on the skin of doctors and citizens. We will talk about it directly in Calabria, and we will bring this case to the attention of the Parliament. All this – concludes Fratoianni – makes you think a lot, if compared to what is happening in these hours in Italy and Europe with military spending. The drugs have to pay for the citizens, but for the weapons the necessary billions are immediately found. Thanks to the newspaper Repubblica for telling this grotesque story ».
