LIPARI (Messina) There are no suspects yet, but at least four emergency room doctors and Lipari’s medical guard are shaking. They know that the testimonies of many friends and many operators attribute the death of Lorenza Famularo, just 22 years old, to a sensational case of medical negligence. Somehow confirmed by three audio messages from this cheerful girl, busy all day at the reception of a hotel on the largest island in the Aeolian Islands, finally struck down on August 23 by an undiagnosed pulmonary embolism. Messages sent to a friend and boyfriend, Antonio, now at the head of a popular uprising on the day in which the inspectors of the Region and the Councilor for Health, Ruggero Razza arrive: “We will fill the template, there will be a fixed helicopter … ».
“I have needles in my back”
Promises that collide with a battered hospital system, given that Lorena was sent from the emergency room to the medical guard “without even having gone through the Triage,” as her family’s lawyer, Vincenzo La Cava, says. And here are Lorena’s words for 11 days going and back in search of a doctor and a cure: “In the end I took a pill, I went to lie on my back, until yesterday I couldn’t do it … pain in my shoulder as if needles had been stuck in it. I breathe badly ». The voice that resounds in these audio delivered by the lawyer La Cava to the Barcelona prosecutor Pozzo di Gotto, Emanuele Crescenti, and the substitute Rita Barbieri is breathless.
The “American” Lawyer
“I breathe badly in this position. The more I go, the worse it gets. I got out of the emergency room. There was the doctor (…). He gave me a shot, gave me things, a prescription and tomorrow we will talk about it … “The voice is resigned, marked by a breath that must have alarmed when carrying out careful controls, according to the lawyer who spent a day on the island to collect testimonies, stories, reports. “I investigate like an American lawyer. To be able to deliver everything to the Prosecutor’s Office, to have certain evidence, since everything is still unknown and I am the guarantor. But the truth will have to come out, even waiting for the autopsy,” he explains. after speaking with the coroner chosen by the girl’s family, Daniela Sapienza, the same one who follows the case and the mystery of little Gioele.
The revolt of the Aeolian islands
Very different tragedies. And in Lorena’s case, something could certainly be done, given that only after 11 days of ordeal did a cardiologist advise her to have an X-ray. When there was no time left. Because those needles had really got stuck. But to know the results of the autopsy we will have to wait 90 days. Too many months for the inhabitants of the Aeolian Islands who ask for adequate care and doctors, as repeated in the messages and interviews with the “Eolie News” now similar to a war bulletin, determined to protect the health of those who live and visit these wonders . of nature, for now in mourning.
