The doctor at the emergency room of Moscati Hospital in Aversa, in the province of Caserta, expresses a strong sense of disappointment after being attacked by a patient. The incident occurred last Friday, when the woman threw a computer and printer at her, causing the professional a contusion to the chest and a graze on her left arm, injuries that will take a month to heal. Despite the incident, the doctor says she will continue to practice medicine, even though she may no longer work in the emergency room.

The professional recognizes that those who observe from the outside do not always understand the dynamics of hospitals and the priorities that must be managed on a daily basis. She emphasizes how her commitment and that of her colleagues often involve personal and family sacrifices to ensure an efficient service to patients. Verbal aggression, she complains, has become a constant in her work experience. Despite this, she feels connected to the team at Moscati Hospital and tries to resist these difficulties.

However, she admits that the fear of working in this environment has increased significantly since she began her journey as a medical director. Although she feels frustrated by the current situation, she is not discouraged and would be ready to return to service immediately. The doctor hopes that the month of prognosis can serve as a lesson for patients and make them understand the importance of the presence of doctors in health facilities.

Her desire is to raise public awareness about the daily challenges faced by healthcare workers and the importance of respecting them. Her testimony highlights not only the physical violence but also the verbal violence that threatens the serenity of hospital environments. This type of aggression not only affects the health of doctors but can also have negative consequences on the well-being of patients themselves.

In this complex context, it is essential to promote a culture of respect and mutual understanding between patients and healthcare workers. The doctor hopes that through dialogue we can create better working conditions for all healthcare workers and guarantee a quality service to citizens. In conclusion, her experience serves as a warning on the importance of safety in healthcare facilities and on the value of the work done by healthcare professionals every day.
