We worry about the wrong things…This is just distressing

Since being discharged from hospital after a broken leg, Oude Kamphuis has mainly lived on the couch because moving hurts a lot. His house is dirty and friends bring him food. His GP says he has already submitted several requests for care, but is not getting a response due to bureaucracy and staff shortages.

Leefbaar Rotterdam calls the situation of the Rotterdammer inhumane and wants a debate about the issue. “That people who need care are left to their own devices. That is unworthy of a civilized society,” said councilor Michel van Elck. He argues in favor of the appointment of a Healthcare Corporal who ‘will make short work of bureaucracy and conflicting interests in healthcare’.

It also rained outrage on Twitter. “We’re worrying about the wrong things… This is just distressing.” and ‘Hope Hugo and other parties also read it. And that in the Netherlands.’ On Facebook, several people indicate that they would like to help Oude Kamphuis with the cleaning of his house.
