Giorgio Diakantonis
Giorgio Diakantonis, a 37-year-old physician from Imola, recently made headlines after resigning from his position as a family doctor, where he was managing 700 patients. He described the challenges posed by the new national contract in 2024 as a 'grenade' that shook the foundations of his profession. A son of a family doctor, he felt inspired to pursue medicine but ultimately decided to return to specializing in occupational medicine due to the overwhelming pressures and instability in primary care. Diakantonis highlighted the increasing complexity of an aging population and the impact of online health information on the doctor-patient relationship as significant factors in his decision to leave.
