To social media Minerva Healthto the century Solange Fugger. Doctor, class 1989thousands of followers on social media and hit the news like the youngest primary of Italy. The most correct definition, but this is in his own bio, he is responsible for Level I DEA at the Aurelia Hospial, a facility that deals with emergency medicine. In recent days, one of his videos on doctors who work as freelancers has raised an issue fair number of criticisms. Not only from users, but also from other doctors who have a social activity.

Fugger’s words: “If you are a freelancer, the disease does not exist”
We leave you the complete video here, we only summarize the points. Fugger talks about availability of doctors who work as token operators, is a formula which refers to VAT registered doctors who work together with public facilities. In many facilities these doctors are essential for ensure continuity of serviceespecially in emergency departments. They do not have a monthly salary but are paid in shifts. Second Minerva Health these doctors should have a greater sense of responsibility towards their work: “If you have a contract with a hospital you have the right to holidays, sickness and 104. If you are a freelancer, sickness and holidays do not exist”.

And again, talking about the shifts: “I filled out the shifts based on the availability of each doctor. It turns out that a doctor who works with me has an unexpected event, he has the flu and doesn’t feel like coming to work. If I’m a freelancer this thing doesn’t exist: you have to look for the change. Obviously respecting the limits: if he is hospitalized no one tells him that I would say come and do the shift. Otherwise you take a nice Tachipirina and come to work”. The theme of the video, in short, is the responsibility towards the work of those who are self-employed.
The video was then adjusted by a second piece of content published a few days later in which Fugger explains the concept better, without moving the topic too much. center of gravity. In the meantime it has raised quite a bit of debate in what is known as MedTokdoctors active above all on TikTok. A community that is starting to become crowded with content that perhaps we could spare ourselves, at least out of respect for the profession. Between self-production of private practices and widespread medical advice with alarmed faces. But of course, everyone likes free marketing.
In any case, Fugger’s words seemed a bit clear-cut with respect to choices that should not be scrutinized by those organize a work plan between freelancers. Net of the sense of responsibility, those who work as a freelancer have fewer protections than those with a regular contract. And it doesn’t just concern illnesses or holidays, but access to other protections such as unemployment is also more difficult. Of course, when we talk about healthcare areas the topic becomes more delicate, but perhaps the creator scheme video-video replica-video replica of the replica not the best place to treat it.
