I’ll explain the chaos in hospitals (and whose responsibilities are). Matteo Bassetti speaks
Matteo Bassetti, director of the infectious diseases clinic of the San Martino hospital in Genoa, accuses the CTS for not having drawn up clear and shared protocols with which GPs could have moved, in collaboration with the hospitals, to fight Covid.
“I believe there has been an organizational problem. Many really need hospitalization, but there are just as many patients who, if they had support at home, if they knew that there were clear protocols, trained doctors who went to visit them and kept them connected to the hospital, they would have been treated at home ”. This was said by Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Department of the San Martino Hospital in Genoa, speaking All'aria che Tira , La7 program .
Bassetti, on TV, does not discount and argues that the fault of the saturated hospitals lies with the CTS, which should have moved, in recent months, on the protocols.
MATTEO BASSETTI: THOSE WHO SPEAK ARE NOT IN HOSPITALS
"When someone speaks they do it without being in hospitals, without going to the emergency room", Bassetti accused, specifying: "I do a briefing every morning and I know how many people went to the emergency room that could be treated at home".
A percentage? “At least 15-20% could be treated at home if there were clear and shared protocols”, according to Bassetti.
THE ACCUSATION TO THE CTS AND TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE MINISTRY
Bassetti's words, then, circumscribe the field of accusation: “In the normal world, to enter the technical-scientific committee you need requirements. When I became a university professor, I responded to parameters, to thresholds, by participating in a competition. Were those same thresholds and parameters used to enter the CTS? How did the directors of the ministries make their career? ”Thunders the infectious disease specialist during the intervention on TV.
"Because as a citizen, before being a doctor, I want to know by what criteria who is in charge today and manages all the important health care part of Covid was chosen", continued Bassetti.
And again: “There is no transparency. I am attacked, but I am transparent. I would also like those who attack me from the CTS ”.
SCIENCE IS NOT ONE THOUGHT
The director of the Infectious Diseases Department of the San Martino Hospital in Genoa, added: “I am an enemy of the single imposed thought, it is not a way of doing medicine and healthcare. We must listen to everyone, we must listen to those who work in the regions. We have not been listened to ”.
And “the things I'm telling you today, I've been saying for four months. The protocols of territorial management, the hospitalization criteria "had to be" shared throughout the territory ".
THE LACKS OF THE CTS
Bassetti's thought regarding the protocols and shortcomings of the CTS, in fact, has been clear for some time and the infectious doctor's accusations against those who decide on Covid are not new : "Given that the Technical Scientific Committee has in fact centralized the relevant rules anti pandemic, I expected from the CTS hospitalization criteria and treatment protocols. There have not been and now there is chaos in the emergency rooms and in hospitals, where each doctor decides independently as there are no uniform hospitalization criteria and treatment protocols ", he said at the end of October, always in an intervention in L air that pulls.
THE CTS TAKES RESPONSIBILITIES
“We have always been told that only the CTS governs and commands, for the quarantines, the double buffer and many other things. And when decisions and powers are so centralized, it is clear that if things go well you will take all the credit, if things go bad someone has to take responsibility ”, added Bassetti.
