Sant'Antonio Abate Hospital in Fivizzano - Emergency room

If there was the possibility of giving zero stars I did it. A shame that we will denounce. Heartless people running a hospital.

Slack personal experience: a very important health issue overlooked by the staff on duty, fortunately solved by Pontremoli hospital doctors

Despite many department they are closing the staff and always and in any case very kind to their patients

I have always found professionalism and competence in this first aid. I hope this standard is maintained! ...

Ps well equipped for first aid but having cut many departments if the problem is serious it will be necessary to move to mass

A place to avoid! I cut my foot. I go to the PS. Within and a group of nurses / doctors is there to do nothing ... Nobody gets up from the chairs to help me walk ... I explain that I have cut myself and that I would like to do the antitetanic. Nobody can think of looking at the wound. And so far ok ... Then they tell me that "we don't have any tetanus" and so I ask "and what should I do?" - "I don't know, you have to buy it in some pharmacy or have it injected by some doctor ..." (Note: it was Sunday afternoon). I say: "but if I buy the anti-tetanus then how do I inject myself or the pharmacist?" "Do you know how to do it? Because the pharmacist does not do it" they answer me ... I, stunned by all this, with an annoyed tone I say: "no but being in an emergency room maybe you could do it, right?" (I could have added: since you are obviously doing nothing) To the desperate (without being able to walk well) I go to the pharmacy of the village (20 'on foot) asking me "the medical prescription?" (They hadn't given it to me, obviously) The pharmacist - shocked by all this - he says to me "in that hospital they should be ashamed!" But the tetanus sells me anyway. I return to the PS who died under a scorching sun (then the brilliant idea of ​​putting it so high with a thousand steps and up) and there they give me an injection (3 seconds in all the time to open the package) after a long discussion between them on the fact of having to do myself or an antitetanic, or the immunoglobulin etc etc ... Cage of fools. And for a puncture of half a second they also wanted to ask for the ticket !!, I obviously refused since no service was lent to my help (if not to apply me a puncture as "favor") I sent them with elegance to that country and I am left without paying. To all this is added a visit of my mother for a very strong pain in the foot without apparent reason. It was night and nobody was there. They open the door for you after having played and searched the entrance for quite a while. The doctor takes her foot in a bad way making her very ill and tells her "mah boh it will be arthrosis" - the other nurse asks "from 1 to 10 how much does it hurt?" And she "7". The doctor used to scream "eeeeeeh 7 !!!! Exaggerated !!! You don't know what pain is !!!!" As if it were at the fish market. Then he prescribes a generic painkiller (which of course my mother had already taken home) and tells her to "come back tomorrow". To which, my mother, accustomed to other types of public services in northern Europe, gets up (with pain) and leaves the hospital sending the doctor to that country, asking him to learn good manners and reminding him that education , seriousness and professionalism are legal obligations due to the respect of all citizens (who pay their salary. AVOID THIS HOSPITAL!

I have dealt with this hospital several times, some doctors are certainly competent, but others would have to be discussed ... my impression is that to reach an acceptable level of performance there is still work to be done.

I was rescued from a car accident and I have to congratulate all the emergency room staff who are really friendly, very kind and full of attention, thank you !!
