"System is ailing"
Shock for patient: surgery appointment not for another two years
If you're not an absolute emergency, you have to wait! Sometimes for a very long time, as one Tyrolean knows from painful experience. The pain patient recently had a shocking experience at Innsbruck Hospital. No longer an isolated case.
"That's when I started to get scared." This is what Mr. Heidegger (name changed) says after his bitter experience at the Innsbruck Clinic for Surgery. "How can it be that doctors urgently advise me to have an operation, but I can't get an appointment? What's going on in our healthcare system?" Many patients are now asking themselves this question. Mr. Heidegger is not an isolated case.
According to the Medical Association, around 1,000 operations have to be postponed every month in Tyrol alone due to a lack of staff. Is there a risk of system failure? In any case, Mr. Heidegger's story does not inspire confidence. What happened?
