“Giù le mani dai nostri pediatri”. Raccolta firme delle mamme

Pisa, 26 novembre 2014 – CONTINUA the mobilization of the parents of the young patients of Maurizio Petri and Carlo Ghionzoli, two of the paediatricians who ended up under house arrest last Friday in the investigation conducted by the carabinieri of the Livorno Nas. The accusation is of corruption, the same as the five scientific informants and the company manager who are also restricted to house arrest. The pediatricians have all been suspended by the competent local health authorities and replacements have arrived in the clinics, some already changed compared to the first few days. In the Facebook group "We want our pediatrician back" members are notified that this morning, from 9 am, a sheet will be posted to collect signatures at the switchboard of the Navacchio di Petri and Ghionzoli clinic.

Sul foglio si legge: «Il nostro pediatra non ha mai consigliato latte artificiale al posto del latte materno (perché l’accusa parte da questo, dall’aver plagiato le mamme a smettere di allattare per il latte artificiale. Se e dico se, ha ricevuto compensi restituirà ciò che deve. La malasanità è altro…». A portare il foglio saranno alcune mamme che si sono fatte promotrici dell’iniziativa, le stesse che hanno dato la disponibilità per rimanere nei locali dell’ambulatorio a raccogliere fisicamente le firme.

Other mothers have written on President Enrico Rossi's Facebook wall, urging his interest in favor of paediatricians. However, on social network bulletin boards there is no shortage of those who raise doubts about the work of doctors, referring to a modus operandi that is unfortunately common and tolerated, but no less guilty for this.

According to the judge for preliminary investigations Guido Bufardeci, citing the requests of the public prosecutor Giovanni Porpora in the order, that of benefits "as a counterpart to the prescriptions" is a system "sadly and dangerously widespread at national level and involves, in fact, the entire panorama of pharmaceutical companies, presenting itself as a tried and tested practice». Today in La Spezia (as delegated by the Pisan judge) the chief pediatrician of the local hospital will be questioned, while tomorrow morning the guarantee interrogations of 15 of those arrested in last Friday's blitz are scheduled at the Court of Pisa.
