In Sardinia the waves of pandemics arrive late and start to go away late. And the emergency rooms are still suffering severely. The numbers of the smartphone app "First aid monitor" in full boom of Covid cases say so.

The nightmare hospitals as regards the emergency-urgency are the only two left in Cagliari that have an emergency room open (Brotzu and Policlinico Casula), and then the Santissima Annunziata di Sassari, the Giovanni Paolo II in Olbia and the San Francesco Nuoro: for several hours of the day, particularly in the afternoon-evening, six hours of waiting for the green and white codes are not enough. At certain times they can also wait for the yellows, that is, the seconds for the severity of the problem the patient is suffering from.

THE OTHERS - But it goes badly almost everywhere, with some exceptions: for an urgent problem but not to be attended in record time, a Cagliari citizen would do well to consider a trip to the emergency room of San Marcellino di Muravera. At the Lanusei hospital there are few patients but also few staff, so we wait a long time for those who are not in danger of life.

The civilian of Alghero was a nightmare, the Sirai of Carbonia and the Cto of Iglesias (we always speak only of first aid), decency at San Giuseppe di Isili, maluccio San Gavino and Dettori di Tempio, a little better Segni by Ozieri.

Discomfort, since the pandemic has started, has been a "common heritage" for Sardinians who need health care for problems that make them suffer, but without putting their lives at risk. And it will continue to be so for weeks, until the vaccines and the large number of Omicron infections have consistently immunized the population.

IL SAN MARTINO - Meanwhile, the San Martino Emergency Room, which has been in great difficulty for weeks, will be a sort of "advanced triage", with the so-called hired doctors acting as a filter to evaluate patients and then entrust them to the specialists of the various departments.

The Mst company, which for several months has also provided this service to the Ghilarza First Intervention Point, was entrusted with the task of recruiting doctors: "No specialists or special figures are required, it is a matter of carrying out an advanced triage and calling the appropriate specialist who will take care of the patient ”reads the announcement on the Sardinia Medical Replacements website which specifies the fee, 700 euros per 12-hour shift.

A method rejected by the national president of the Italian Society of Emergency-Urgency Medicine (Simeu) Fabio De Iaco who defines it as “the death of the emergency room. Thirty years of work, study and service can be canceled in one fell swoop ”.
