- We wanted to support the healthcare system in the pandemic needed at this stage.I did not expect that it would expose us to such outbreaks of aggression - says Dr. Piotr Merks, chairman of the trade unions of pharmacy employees, as well as a Warsaw pharmacist who performs coronavirus tests.

In an interview with WP, he describes quarrels with patients who react with aggression to information about a positive test result.- Father brought three sons to the test.When he learned about a positive result at one of them, he demanded that the result be marked as a negative.The request was not fulfilled, so he grabbed the chair and threw it at the pharmacy door.He shouted that we broke the holidays for children - says Dr. Merks.

According to the pharmacist's report, another patient kicked at the door with such force after a positive result.Another one blocked the door, announcing that he would not come out until he hears the result immediately.

- We had a patient who maliciously pushed the staff.It is after paying attention that he should put on a protective mask.He refused, claiming that this would limit his freedom.When the test came out positively, he said angrily that he was going to shop.We said that with such symptoms he should absolutely isolate himself at home.He replied that there is no epidemic - reports Dr. Merks.

The first rule of the test point.The result is given at a distance

The interlocutor emphasizes that the number of conflicts about tests exceeded his ideas.Piotr Merks described some cases in social media.The entry about throwing a chair at the door was commented on by several other people running the Covid-19 testing points.The more experienced shared their own ways how not to give patients the opportunity to brawl.

According to the answer, the most important principle in the Covid-19 testing points is to provide a result by SMS or by posting on the patient's online account.It is better that patients do not wait for the result at the point, because it provokes skirmishes.

"I am asking right after the swab.Then I send non -returnable SMS with a result to people without access to IKP.Without exception " - the pharmacist advised.Another added that it is best to take a swab for testing through the window, which limits contacts with potentially patients.

In December 2021, the Trade Union of Pharmacy Employees appealed to support the "Stop violence in pharmacies" campaign.It is after the skirmishes.In November, one of these customers unloaded emotions in the pharmacy equipment.

Let us remind you that Covid-19 tests in pharmacies were to complement the gap in testing during the fifth wave of the epidemic.Contrary to the announcements of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki - promising "Free tests in every pharmacy" - the service could not be disseminated.At 13 thousand.Pharmacy Tests offers 218 facilities (data of the Ministry of Health from Monday).
