House -doctor's heirs: Practice closing in Waiblingen - a health crisis?

A bitter farewell for the patients in Waiblingen! After an incredible 37 years, family doctor Dr. Thomas Rahmann on October 1st his practice in Blumenstrasse. The reason? An alarming lack of personnel that is increasingly becoming a serious problem for medical care in the region.

The situation is catastrophic: in Waiblingen, Fellbach and the surrounding area there are fewer and fewer general practitioners and many doctor's offices remain vacant. Dr. Rahmann fought in vain for successors for months. The departures of medical assistants additionally strengthen the situation, and adversities on the labor market do not leave any room for optimism. The lack of medical staff such as medical assistants also causes excitement and frustration in the community.

The closure of Dr. Rahmann is not just a loss for his loyal patients, but another alarming sign of overloading the health system. With every family doctor who has disappeared, access to basic medical care becomes more difficult. In fact, it is already warned that this trend could continue if it is not controlled quickly. All eyes are now aimed at the health politicians whether they will tackle this increasing problem. Dr. Rahmann's decision is a wake -up call to everyone affected!
