While many operations are deprogrammed in hospitals, Dr Gérald Kierzek castigated these postponements of medical interventions, evoking on Twitter “managerial mismanagement”, this Wednesday, January 19.
For lack of places or personnel, surgical operations deemed non-urgent are deprogrammed in several hospitals in France. Objective: to make room for people with severe forms of Covid-19. Postponements of surgeries which pose risks to the health of the patients concerned. For Dr Gérald Kierzek, these deprogrammings “dramatic” would in fact not be linked to a massive influx of patients infected with the coronavirus. In question, according to the health consultant of TF1: “managerial negligence on HR management and a hospital adrift”, he lambasted on Twitter, this Wednesday, January 19.
According to Dr Gérald Kierzek, “we must stop the psychosis and restart the country and the hospital”. Between postponements and outright cancellations of operations, some patients are facing significant delays in the management of their pathologies. According to The Parisian, the increased pressure on hospital services does not date from the appearance of the more contagious Omicron variant, but from almost two years ago. However, this critical situation has been aggravated by a serious lack of staff in some hospitals, due to a large number of resignations among nursing staff. The health crisis has put a strain on hospital nurses, many of whom have decided to change careers or reorient themselves towards city medicine.
