Genoa \u2013 Accused of prescribing too many drugs<\/b>, and too expensive, to his elderly patients. After thirty-five years of honorable career, Dr. Sergio Masi, family doctor with practice in Marassi, will have to report to the Liguria Region and the Local Health Authority <\/b>who accused him of excessive pharmaceutical spending: \u00abThey'll put me under pressure because I prescribed medicines that were too expensive - he explains to Secolo XIX - too bad they're also the most recent and most effective. I'm starting to think that people's health doesn't count for the Region, only money"<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Investigations that are born to discover scams or big waste<\/b>, which is certainly not the case for the family doctor who does not want to agree to prescribing cheaper, and according to him less useful, medicines to his patients: \u00abThe Region <\/b>she would be happy \u2013 she smiles \u2013 the sick are decidedly less so. Yet in this way I risk a fine proportional to what they consider the damage suffered which can range from a few thousand euros up to 300 thousand euros, far more than he has received from the ASL in 35 years of honorable career. I also risk being suspended from work, my reason for living".<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The doctor is embittered, as can be easily understood by the sign in the waiting room <\/b>of his study in which he asks for the solidarity of the patients on the occasion of his hearing: "In a year and a half I will retire - he concludes - of course I did not expect a medal but neither did I expect kicks in the ass". <\/p>\n
