The Poli-killer Messina
Last week, a 'other girl died at the Policlinico di Messina.
Now only a fool can speak of "fate." There is something wrong in the health of Sicily. More qualcosa.L 'last case, that of poor Mary Louise Cortese makes it even more absurd. Even Maria Luisa died of complications from anesthesia. The same reason that caused the death of little David Field. Nonsense, said. Absurd because Maria Luisa among anesthesiologists were the same people who have "cured" Camp David ...
"We hope that his death serve in some way" had detto.La death of David Field is not served niente.Servirà something to the death of Maria Luisa? But is it possible that people under investigation continue to operate?
A story that has all the aspects of a nightmare. Public
below 's article in the latest issue of Michele Schinella Centonove:
Sanità.Il Polikiller
about the Company Spotlight Health Gaetano Martino di Messina after the death of Maria Luisa Cortez. Killed by a crisis following the caesarean section. Unwanted
Determinant anesthesia, practiced by sott'inchiesta already put a team.
bury their lime is the most painful event that can happen. Only those who experience it can understand it. Maria Luisa think that is gone because the doctors have done their evil work makes the pain anger. Until we know the truth we can not give us peace. " A Giuseppe Cortese and his wife, the truth will not hug his daughter Maria Luisa. And the truth will not give to a child born orphan, Antonella Luisa, the mother who was waiting with trepidation to put it to his breast. The truth will not be able to return his affections, his partner Luciano, a young man of 21 years died in the operating room Department of Obstetrics of the University Hospital of Messina, in giving birth, by caesarean section, a new life. However, the truth will, perhaps, to answer to justice. If anything, the truth, you will be able to reach.
IN SEARCH OF WHY . E 'already spent a week on the day of the tragedy, and this is the impression it will not be easy to determine because, Maria Luisa, July 27 became the last day of life. It will not be easy to determine whether the doctors (and which) have made a few mistakes, or whether, as stated by the acting Director-General of the General Hospital, John Matter, the stars we have had a hand. The task of the judiciary and technical advisers has become particularly difficult for the occurrence of a disturbing fact.
THE YELLOW DATA . The recording of data on vital signs (important for comparison with the pinned folder anesthesia) that the device performs the anesthesia during each surgery has been lost. All deleted. But how was it possible? 'The device is the latest and from what I was told was working perfectly. It has a digital recording device. If you do not put on standby for continuous recording and gradually erase the data already acquired, 'explains the technical adviser of the family Cortese, Bondi. "I think - he adds - that the person who has been entrusted to the unit after the seizure provisions of the judiciary has failed to put it in standby mode. "A non-insider - he concludes - but does not know a health professional, especially if anesthetist, knows very well." The news immediately made fibrillation in the family's attorney Cortese, Borzì. "We will ask the now-legal points - that the magistrate holder investigation sheds light on this disturbing fact. Also because a relative of the dead woman was told by a doctor of obstetrics, which up to 23 of the night in the operating room already seized would have been present some anesthetists. The autopsy conducted on Monday said with certainty that death was due to a respiratory arrest. Will now investigate the determinants of histological examination of medical records and testimony. A
SERIEDI ANOMALIES. What will be the result of forensic investigation, the events that marked the tragic day of 27 have some serious anomalies. Maria Luisa, 25, is hospitalized in the obstetric department where the work that follows in the course of nine months. 27 is fixed to the natural delivery driven. In the morning though, something happens. Childbirth, to drive it, not even started, the doctors realize, Only that morning, a fetal-pelvic disproportion. Consider it necessary to proceed to caesarean delivery. Maria Luisa has no contractions, the unborn is in place. There is no fetal distress and is still in but 4oesi-week pregnancy. Nevertheless, we decided to act now. To do this, however, need to declare the emergency action. The only way to obtain the availability of anesthesiologists. But the declaration of emergency activates a special route. If surgery is urgent, then, can not be administered in accordance with the predetermined intervals hourly, the treatment protocol to prevent allergic reactions to Marie Louise had been prescribed, given of allergy manifested as a child to an antibiotic, in the event of an anesthetic. Why is it said that urgent action was not? "Working in emergency has become a practice. A practice that increases the risk. Not done so for economic reasons as for not going crazy behind the timing of physiological diseases. In the departments of Obstetrics, then, to this practice, for the same reasons, adding that of the caesarean, "says a senior doctor. Maria Luisa enters the operating room around 1:30 p.m.. It first for spinal anesthesia has no effect, and then to that total. When one of two surgeons to extract affects the unborn child, around 14 and 15, Maria Luisa already in respiratory distress, blood appears darkened. The surgeon, anesthetist and shall communicate it to the extraction of the child who, in very good health, at approximately 2:35 p.m., the relatives are seen passing before. Only after five minutes, at 14 and 40, the snaps with emergency nurses, doctors and orderlies running wildly. What does the anesthesiologist in the time that goes by when the crisis occurs when a respiratory triggered the emergency resuscitation? "We ask the prosecutor. Things did not go as they should, "he said, leaving the operating room, one of two surgeons, the father of Maria Luisa. The death of Maria Luisa has raised other serious and disturbing questions. Immediately. Since when has spread the rumor, later confirmed that the team was part of the operating room the same anesthesiologist prosecuted on 27 April, David Field of the small pearl death, which occurred on 19settembre2005, in another operating room of the General Hospital during an appendectomy surgery: Rossana Panasia.
THE SHADOW OF PANAS . His name is now on everyone's lips. The young anesthesiologist, born in 1973, taken four days earlier with one-year contract, was alone September 19, 2005 to ensure the vital functions of David. It has found itself once again to ensure those of Maria Luisa. The other anesthesiologist, registered under investigation, occurred when it was already taken an emergency: it is now certain. "In the operating room had to be there," you hear repeated in the corridors and into every room of the hospital.
unanswered questions. But then the medical director John Materia had not ensured that the anesthesiologist in question "was used in its duties that exclude self-employed and live in the operating room?". He had determined that, even in its protection, Rossana Panasia should always be accompanied by senior anesthesia? And if that was because it was not? John Subject to these questions it chose not to respond. The same, the anguish, you may contact the Operations Director of Anaesthesia, which belongs Panasia. John Matter promises now that "the company clinic, if negligence liability will arise, proceed with the termination of the employment contract and the establishment of a civil party in criminal proceedings." Immediately after the death of David, the outcome of the first investigations of the council, the Director-General, by order of September 28, 2005, ordered the start of the procedure for termination of the contract and to suspend for a month supervision anesthesiologist. The months passed, the investigation moved forward, the report raised serious responsibility placed anesthesiologist, who was prosecuted (and the Polyclinic, is not among the plaintiffs). Meanwhile, the administrative procedure is lost each track. Try to find, track, the lawyer for the family field. At the specific request that you respond as soon as you take decisions communicated to him. He's still waiting. Meanwhile, Ross Panasia participated in a new selection for the recruitment of anesthetists. It is the first and earns the right to a new annual contract renewable for another three. And he continues to do its job.
TRAGEDY RENEWED. Camp David's mother has never accepted this. She, who has lived the tragedy on their skin never missed an opportunity to express his indignation. "My son is already dead. I would, at least, that his death would serve to prevent further deaths absurd "he said, unheeded, Ms. Rosario. "The death of David is not no good," was whispered, forlorn, during the funeral funeral of Maria Luisa.
