The self-employed professional from Dobersberg, Lower Austria, did not care that appointments for the hospital in Horn were only made in the morning: he drove there with the child in the afternoon, but the plaster was not removed there. Then the whistle blew over the healthcare system and a doctor. His criticism on social media sparked discussion.
A professional criticizes the Waldviertel clinics en masse: “It’s unbelievable, our healthcare system is at its worst. A nice employee at the hospital in Horn explains to me that at 3 p.m. there is no one in the entire building who can cut off a forearm cast from an eight-year-old child!”
Debate on social media
This sparked a discussion on social media. The State Health Agency (LGA) emphasizes that this is not an emergency situation, but rather an “appointment-based follow-up treatment”. That is why an appointment is necessary. This is possible at the Accident Clinic Horn from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Why no cast release at Waidhofen Hospital?
The professional from Dobersberg adds: “The worst thing about this story is that I have to drive all the way to Horn to have the plaster cast removed from a child’s arm. Is that not possible in Waidhofen? No, you have to drive 40 minutes!” The LGA explains succinctly that Waidhofen does not have an accident operation.
Cut the plaster yourself
