An oncologist at a Cagliari
hospital in Sardinia denounced in a Facebook post that relatives
of some of her patients who were waiting for palliative care
complained they had been waiting for too long, saying it was a
"negro's fault", the local Unione Sarda newspaper reported on
Friday.
The doctor, Maria Cristina Deidda, said she had briefly left
the clinic where the patients were waiting for a consultation
"on a patient of Senegalese origin" at the hospital.
"As many as four people, who were accompanying some of my
patients, complained they were kept waiting and it was a
'negro's fault'", the doctor said, apologizing on their behalf
and saying she felt "deeply ashamed" for their behavior, the
daily reports.
