Antonella Abbatangelo, 41, from Trani, mother of a 14-month-old boy, had had a fever and cough for a week, who died Thursday after contracting Covid. The death occurred at the Dimiccoli hospital in Barletta where she was admitted for about five days, after waiting 11 hours before being accepted into the emergency room.
The day before her hospitalization in Barletta, in addition, she had been sent home from the emergency room in Trani, where she had gone because she was not feeling well. The cardiologist, Peppe Carpagnano, on duty at the same hospital where Antonella died, writes on social media that “after a 12-hour night shift” you go home “devastated” and “you receive a message from your colleague to inform you that the referred patient you spoke to, she died “.
The cardiologist points out that “we do not have adequate personnel and tools” and “it was probably the ineffective measures to combat the virus that killed her.” As reconstructed, the woman after a week in which the symptoms of the infection were increasingly evident, had been accompanied by relatives to the emergency room of the Trani hospital, which would not be equipped for the treatment of Covid.
From here, the woman would be sent home. The next day the family members contacted the referring doctor who advised her to go to the emergency room in Barletta where, after a long wait, she was hospitalized. For a few days, the relatives managed to obtain only fragmentary information on health conditions until the phone call on Thursday announcing his death.
