Today in Rhein-Main: Absolute chaos in the doctor's offices

Good evening,

This race would have been spared at the end of the year: Who can get their booster vaccination and how quickly and where? That is the question of the hour - and again there is a pull: Everything as quickly as possible and sensible, no question. But maybe not until at least five months have passed since the last vaccination? Sometimes it is also true that the first have disadvantages. Because immediately after the vaccination the clock starts ticking again - who knows when the next injection will be necessary? In any case, panic is not a good advisor, especially not when dealing with doctors. Because they currently have land under. "It's absolute chaos," says Christian Sommerbrodt, Chairman of the Hesse Family Doctors Association, in an interview with colleague Monika Ganster, describing the situation during the consultation hours.The telephones do not stand still in the practices, patients who only want to order a prescription come by in person because otherwise they cannot get through. Everyone else wants a booster vaccination, and if possible immediately. Soon the Moderna vaccine percentage will also be much higher, which poses additional challenges for the practices. Because Moderna does not come in doses of 5, like BioNTech, but in doses of 20, which then have to be inoculated together. Moderna should not be vaccinated to people under the age of 30 due to side effects, but the ordering process does not take into account the age structure of the patients in a practice.Soon the Moderna vaccine percentage will also be much higher, which poses additional challenges for the practices.

Let's get to the more pleasant, theoretically at least: The first children did their rounds on the merry-go-round, Bethmännchen went over the counters of the showman's booths.

The Frankfurt Christmas market has opened - without opening speeches and a stage program so as not to unnecessarily provoke crowds.

Hopefully everything will go well here - and the people are sensible in a crowd that in the best case scenario does not even arise.

In the end, unfortunately, there is another November mood: In the process of a 39-year-old man who killed two men in February when he was racing in his car at an intersection in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen at more than 100 kilometers an hour a judgment has been pronounced at the Frankfurt regional court: Thomas R., the driver involved in the accident, is placed in a psychiatric ward. When the fatal accident occurred at the intersection of Mörfelder Landstrasse and Oppenheimer Landstrasse, the man suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, from a psychosis. In court he had stated that he had heard a voice in his head that he felt pressured as he drove faster and faster through Sachsenhausen on Saturday afternoon in mid-February. The relatives of those killed will hardly have been able to endure all this.

And in addition, only a few locations for new towers are to be shown in the city's new high-rise master plan +++ the removal of the blown up Salzbachtal bridge is making good progress.

The first construction work should also begin soon - this is particularly good news for train drivers +++ used cars are more popular than they have been for a long time.

Sellers are happy.

Stay healthy,

Your Carsten Knop
