ROVIGO – The eyes of Federico Morello and his wife Tiziana are swollen with tears while yesterday, in the classroom, I dramatic moments before the death of his only and beloved son Giovanni, who passed away at the age of 6, on January 13, 2016 while he was admitted to hospital by Rovigo, for a strong and persistent stomach pain. The parents of the boy from Anguillara were present at yesterday’s hearing, in which the prosecutor Sabrina Duò requested the sentenced to 1 year and 6 months then Head of the Department of Pediatrics, Dr. Vincenzo Rametta, on trial for the hypothesis of crime of involuntary manslaughter due to medical negligence due to inexperience because, according to the prosecution, he did not require surgical advice, or blood or instrumental chemical analysis, in particular an abdominal X-ray, but above all for not having included in the diagnosis the possible bowel obstruction and for not having promptly prescribed a surgical operation to remove the ileal loop, the Bowel “constriction”, in correspondence with a previous operation for appendicitis, which later resulted in the death of the child.
Sentence postponed
The result of the trial, with the last hearing scheduled for next October 28, when, once the harangue of the lawyer Giovanni Sarti, Rametta’s defender, has been fulfilled, then the sentence will come of Judge Nicoletta Stefanutti, can not ignore the report of the two experts appointed by the judge himself to clarify the medical dispute between the biased experts, the university professor and pediatric surgeon Mario Lima and the forensic Alberto Amadasi who, although they noticed errors in The management of the little patient basically excluded the responsibility of Rametta. A conclusion opposed by the prosecutor Duò, who spoke of illogical in believing that there is a generic responsibility of other doctors but not of those who were present in relevant phases and were the head of the department. Initially, among other things, seven doctors had been investigated, but after the closure of the investigations only Dr. Rametta was charged. Even the lawyers of the parents and grandparents constituted in the civil part, Cristiano Violato and Federico Soattin, refuted the conclusions of the experts and pointed out that, despite the fact that the minor had been hospitalized for further investigations, it was not carried out later. no recognition. after ultrasound and blood test, immediately after the second admission to the hospital, on January 9, after the child had already presented to the emergency room on day 7 with a severe stomach pain, but was given discharged after an enema. “A trivial X-ray was enough to understand that it was not gastroenteritis and it was Rametta himself who performed the anamnesis of the baby, pointing out the previous appendectomy operation, which is precisely indicated as one of the first causes of occlusions.” The harangue of the lawyer Alessio Cervetti, who assists the Ulss, questioned as civil liable, who has excluded the responsibility of Rametta, and therefore, here, also of the health company, is of the opposite sign.
