The umpteenth complaint comes from Luigi, 59 years old from Catanzaro, positive to COVID-19 and symptomatic. The man has been ill since October 31, on November 2 he performs a swab in a private laboratory and the answer is positive, which will be confirmed by a second swab performed by ASP on November 9. Between one test and the next, Luigi starts to feel bad: everything is escalating to a sore throat, fever, and aches until last night when he starts having trouble breathing. Contact 118 who is going home, the doctor visits you and considers your condition serious. You need a Tac.

The ambulance takes him to the First aid from the city hospital, from the park and, in that parking lot inside the ambulance, Luigi remains more than an hour without being considered by anyone. At a certain point the saturation drops and your health deteriorates to the point that you stick to the oxygen directly in the autopsy. The patient waits and after a while they tell him nothing, that there are no beds available for hospitalization and that the CT scan cannot be done, neither in Catanzaro, nor in Vibo Valentia, nor in Cosenza; Meanwhile, thanks to the administration of oxygen in the ambulance, the saturation has risen to acceptable levels, so Luigi is brought home and invited to buy an oxygen cylinder to use when needed.

Well now Luigi lives like this: closed at home for 12 days, with his wife – also positive for the virus – suffering and living perhaps thanks to the oxygen that he administers himself.

Tomorrow a new therapy will start, because the previous one was obviously not effective. But the man is angry, very angry and despite the fact that it is difficult for him to speak he says: «I will not stop, they treated me badly, no doctor deigned to come and see how I was in the ambulance. I am going to legally denounce those responsible for this, and how if I do! ».
