Another attack against a healthcare worker, this time at the Maresca hospital in Torre del Greco where a patient showed up feeling dizzy. Having been given the green code, the woman, while she was waiting to be assisted, lashed out at a nurse.
The incident was reported by the association “Nessuno Tocchi Ippocrate” on its social channel: “Around 7 pm a patient in her 40s shows up in the emergency room complaining of dizziness, she is assigned a green code and is put on hold. During this wait the woman hears another patient complaining from afar and begins to act as a “champion of justice” by railing against the healthcare staff, wishing death and threatening those present.
As usual, words turn to deeds and the 40-year-old lunges at a nurse trying to put her hands around her neck, the young professional manages to dodge the attacker’s fury, but still receives a kick from the latter.
The police were immediately alerted and identified the lady and proceeded with the report. We believe that now the woman’s dizziness has turned into a migraine at the thought of facing criminal proceedings! LET JUSTICE BE DONE.”
