The bad mood spreads, full of perplexity. It radiates from Nuoro but also finds fertile ground in the Mandrolisai, reaching Desulo and Belvì. It brings together. «We are in a lot of trouble», thunders Bachis Cadau, of the SOS Sanità Barbagia Mandrolisai committee, after the visit to the San Francesco hospital by the governor Alessandra Todde and the words of the health councilor Armando Bartolazzi : «These will do like the others. Yet another reform, three years of stalemate and proclamations but the doctors won't arrive. Meanwhile, we are announcing a new event for July." Marilena Pintore, of the Vivere a colori association, adds: «In recent years we have chained ourselves, we have remained in the square with a camper. But here the situation is not resolved, I feel almost ridiculous for always saying the same things."

Harvard model

«There have been gross errors here», remarked the new regional councilor for Health, pointing the finger at his predecessors (Mario Nieddu and Carlo Doria, ed. ). Bartolazzi, in a crowded conference room of the Barbagia hospital, then added: "To anyone who tells me that I don't know the area, I no longer reply: what are we talking about ?". The Capitoline influences are the trademark, the references to Trilussa omnipresent. Folkloric expressions aside, the representative of the regional council did not convince the doctors and mayors present above all with his idea of healthcare. «When I worked for a couple of years at Harvard, the recruitment of professors did not include competitions - he said -. There were direct discussions with the hospital management. This is to say that one cannot recruit based on relatives or party membership cards. Because in the long run you "ruin" the hospital." Then the clarification, in front of too many wide-eyed eyes: «You yell at him because no one comes to work from Brussels with “Uncle Gavino's” nephew».

The academic lunge

Universities also end up in the Capitoline councilor's sights. «Does it seem normal to you that in the north there is a lack of paediatricians and that the University of Sassari does not have a specialization school in Paediatrics? This is an “oxymoron”, this word is now in fashion». Having accepted the blunder on the oxymoron with a smile, the mayors instead appeared gloomy after the long afternoon at the foot of the Ortobene. "There is no solution on the horizon for our healthcare", commented the mayor of Desulo, Gian Cristian Melis. The former regional councilor for public works, Pierluigi Saiu from Nuoro, attacks: «This council wants to adopt a dangerous healthcare reform, which will forever mark the end of the third center in Nuoro. From the text emerges the desire to further strengthen Cagliari and Sassari, which over time will remain the only public health centers in Sardinia". Saiu continues: «There is no mention in any way of Nuoro and San Francesco, condemned to become a second-tier hospital. A reform totally in contrast with what was said by President Todde and Councilor Bartolazzi." Pina Cui, Alert committee in Barbagia: «We want real solutions, the sick must be able to be treated».

The governor

«We know well that healthcare represents the absolute priority», points out Alessandra Todde, «but there is a basic principle that we must all share to try to get out of the rubble we find ourselves in: we must discuss the real state of things. I asked the commissioner of the Province to immediately convene the socio-health conference of the Nuoro area to discuss the issue of general practitioners and the absence of specialists in the area."
