After the infectious disease specialist Carlo Biagetti, he was the first Rimini doctor to be vaccinated. Doctor Corrado Paolizzi, general practitioner with many elderly people among his patients, went to the Fair, together with the other doctors and health workers, to receive the first dose of vaccine. We interviewed him shortly after the Pfizer vaccine was administered. “I think today is a beautiful day – he has declared -. The beginning of a fundamental path in the fight against this disease, which has claimed so many victims, among civilians and also among us general practitioners. Today we wanted to give a clear sign that the vaccine is safe. I hope as soon as it will be possible to see the crowd of people who will come to get vaccinated“.
Doctor Paolizzi, or as he likes to call himself e dutor for mutua, he sent a message to all his patients.
Dear and dear Patient,
the concept that “people need good examples more than good teachers”
and that the latter are listened to with greater attention when they are also witnesses of what they want to teach, has been taken up several times in history, adapted to the thought in which the interlocutors were intended to participate.
So did people far more authoritative than me like Paul VI and President Pertini. And then I make my own the words that people need examples of honesty, consistency and altruism. Today is a beautiful day for our city, for our region, for our state, and we hope for the whole world.
*Today I got vaccinated against covid 19*. When the voluntariness of health workers to undergo vaccination against covid19 was collected, I felt it was my duty to adhere and I do not say enthusiastically because I cannot get rid of the thought of the many people, patients and colleagues, who have fallen ill and even dead. I cannot and do not want to forget the dead people without the comfort of the presence of the affections of life, and I can only be moved and angry thinking of the many Colleagues who died to fulfill their duty. But today is not the day of controversy.
I am a * family doctor *, I do not like other definitions, and I cannot help but think of the heavy commitment that has seen me lavish in these last 10 months of this damn 2020, obviously not alone but together with the many other colleagues in the area and of the hospital, colleagues of family doctors, colleagues of the medical guard, colleagues of the USCA. As I had the opportunity to reply to a well-known Italian politician, health care is and must be a concert made up of Doctors, Nurses, OSS, biologists, psychologists, HOSPITALS and the TERRITORY, always keeping in mind the maxim that battles, even the terrible ones are won in hospitals, but wars are won together on the territory. So, wanting to imagine this day as a won battle, I would like to dedicate this to my family to whom I owe everything; to my colleagues who, like me, are committed daily to their patients and who, with their intuitions, shared among us, try to raise the quality of the fight against this virus more and more. And I would like to dedicate it to all my patients in the hope that healthily they see me as a “teacher” and an example, and for today’s act of vaccination, an example to imitate. I conclude with a recommendation; that of today is only a battle, other more important ones will follow, but nobody dreams of abandoning that of the correct use of masks and wise behavior.
