From June 22 to July 1, medical care in the Großartal in Salzbrug will be poor. The army called Ernst Toferer, the only general practitioner in the valley, for a militia exercise. His request for an exemption was rejected.
The doctor wrote to his patients and informed them of the situation. In addition to the other residents of Hüttschlag and Großarl, the valley’s only doctor with statutory health insurance also looks after the 50 residents of the retirement home. The trained emergency physician often assists 24 hours a day in acute emergencies.
Doctor probably won’t find a replacement
Toferer complained that there was a lack of political will to change the situation. In addition, he indicated in the letter to his patients that he was afraid that he would not be able to find a replacement for the period in question. On July 1, a general practitioner was to open a new practice in Hüttschlag.
