I took my son to Ps because he had swallowed a plastic ball. We arrived at 20 and assigned to the general Ps. I asked the triage nurse about why they did not send us to the pediatric ps who replied, rudely, that the protocol for these situations provides access to the general ps. We are called at 10.30 pm, just to be sent ... to the pediatric ps. I wish I could choke the nurse! We went out at 1.30 and one wonders if it is normal to keep a 4-year-old boy 5 and a half hours in the hospital, not to mention that, on every corner, in the corridors, there were people on a stretcher practically abandoned to themselves. It looked like the "Cardarelli" of Naples, but this hospital is even considered a center of excellence! The only positive note is the pediatric ps staff: courteous and helpful.
