“The rich people in the crematorium: I’m the one in charge.” And again “in America they are fashionable, here men and women exist, binaries do not exist”. And shortly after he adds: “Everyone in there, in the crematorium in Cava di Tirreni and we have solved the problem.” Here are the shocking sentences from the head doctor to the residents collected by The Express. The voice heard in the audio is that of Carmine Alfanodirector of School of Specialization in Plastic Surgery at the University of Salernowhich is located inside the San Giovanni di Dio and Ruggi d’Aragona hospital today in the run-off to become mayor of Torre Annunziata.
These speeches are recorded by young specialists tired of constant harassment, threats and a climate that is anything but professional. The one to report isFree Specialists Association (Als), which in turn turned to L’Espresso to make public opinion aware of what is happening within the Salerno specialization school. Professor Alfano’s obstinacy towards homosexuals and not only stands out; dthe audio shows a secondary organization and management of the department and patientsre compared to the professor’s “monologues” that often result in harassment of students.
Tones that, however, become less aggressive when it comes to using specialists for the electoral campaign. “If one of the residents has to come with me in the afternoon at two o’clock, and it is continuity of care, I will ask each of you first-year students in rotation to do that coverage. It’s clear? It is a sacrifice that I will then make you recover.” The residents explain that they were asked to cover the shifts of the colleagues involved support the election campaign of the professor and “were forced to fill in a format in which there was a political poll, flagging the professor’s name and surname”. The rector of the University of Salerno, Vincenzo Loia, contacted by L’Espresso, replied: “To date, no report has been received at the University. However, I proceeded to initiate the necessary steps internal checks, given the seriousness of the facts presented.”
