L’AQUILA – “In the event of sudden absence of the doctor, the visits, including that of the user in question, are never canceled and the appointment is simply moved – says Dr. Laura Pizzorno, head of breast medicine in L’Aquila, in denial of the news, published yesterday by some press outlets, on the alleged cancellation of a visit to a patient from Sulmona after a reservation made in Barisciano.
“It is not true – explains Pizzorno – as the Sulmona patient does, to claim that her visit was canceled because we accept all requests and in the event of sudden indisposition of the doctor we call the patient back to set a new date.
“Moreover, if a person has cancer, a specific procedure is followed with the visit being scheduled directly from the department (with adequate timing) and not through Cup. Why did the patient, if she had this pathology, not ask for or follow this procedure? .
We also remind you that in case of real urgent situations or concrete difficulties, as happened in some cases, the user can go to L’Aquila where his requests are listened to, implemented and accepted.
Incidentally – concludes Pizzorno – it should be noted that the breast clinic in L’Aquila works at a very fast pace, from January 1st to April 30th it carried out over 4,500 visits and more than 250 surgeries, as well as numerous biopsies. A fact that testifies to the great commitment and maximum availability of the entire department.”
