«I inform you that from tomorrow the 118 will transport all the fractures to Foligno. No one (let’s say none) should access the emergency room in Spoleto. By order of: company health director, hospital director, emergency department director, surgery department director, orthopedics and traumatology director. Maybe it’s time to make yourself heard.” This is the text of one of the messages that circulated on the cell phones of some citizens of Spoleto on Sunday with the obvious intent of discrediting the ‘San Matteo degli Infermi’ hospital. All false, in fact, so much so that the management of the USL Umbria 2 is ready to take legal action, both criminally and civilly.
The second message
In a second message it was added that «the provision was adopted by the head of orthopedics and traumatology Foligno-Spoleto (doctor Pucci) who implemented the input of the company health management (doctor Scarpelli), which management simply implemented to the third prong project (only prosthetic surgery in Spoleto; trauma surgery in Foligno). If anyone wants to know more – closed the message – talk to Pucci.”
«Falsehood with legal consequences»
«Such ‘news’ – explains the Umbria 2 health company in a note – are absolutely baseless, clearly specious and tendentious aimed at unexpectedly attacking the local health service and the Spoleto hospital, denigrating the structures, the professionals, the management, with the consequence of causing, through false warnings, an unjustified alarm among the population”. In fact, the Umbria 2 Local Health Authority adds that «no provision in this sense has been taken by the company management nor, much less, by some structure managers». The company will therefore proceed to the competent offices “to criminally and civilly prosecute the authors and those responsible for these false information disseminated to the population which, in addition to causing unjustified alarm among the population, undermine and damage the operation of health services”.
