The operation disputed by prosecutors took place in 2016 in Taormina at the Bambino Gesù hospital. The little boy died two years later, on January 3, 2019, in Rome, again at the Bambino Gesù. According to the prosecutor, the doctors who provided the care are subject to “negligence, recklessness and inexperience” and have contributed “to causing the death of the child” with a series of errors. The response of the Roman hospital: “The reconstruction of history is far from reality. There is no pacemaker set to the contrary. The statement does not have
A pacemaker implanted on the contrary would be the first of the mistakes made by doctors who operated on a child born with heart disease and who underwent surgery in Taormina in 2016, in the Mediterranean pediatric cardiology center of the Bambino Gesù hospital. After a series of operations, the Infant Jesus of Rome died on January 3, 2019. Eight doctors from the Roman hospital for involuntary manslaughter are being investigated for this matter. The hospital rejected the prosecution’s reconstruction and denied the implant instead of the pacemaker, speaking instead of rare but possible complications.
The reconstruction of the Prosecutor’s Office
According to the prosecutors who provided a reconstruction of what happened, the failure of the implant in front of the pacemaker caused in the child a kind of loop in the artery that, during growth, caused cardiocirculatory failure. In 2018, the boy arrived in Rome, again at the Bambino Gesù, but the cardiologists who visited him, according to the indictment, did not understand the seriousness of the situation and delayed a series of examinations. However, in September two years ago, the cardiologist found some problems, but fixed the CT scan only two months later. On December 31, the child’s condition is very serious and the child is transported on a military plane to the capital. They operate it the next day. The two doctors who performed the surgery, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, did so “in macroscopic delay” and also making mistakes. On January 3, 2019, the child died.
On September 15, the evidentiary incident
According to the prosecution, therefore, not one but a series of medical errors caused the boy’s condition to worsen and then his death with only two years. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the doctors who treated him are responsible for “negligence, recklessness and inexperience” and contributed “to causing the death of the child.” Now you can write a full stop on September 15 when the evidentiary incident will take place. “It represents the first step in a tragic story. We hope that the truth is accepted and what really happened is understood so that such events are not repeated, ”emphasizes the lawyer for the child’s family, Domenico Naccari.
The hospital: “Reconstruction far from reality”
“The reconstruction of history is far from reality. There is no pacemaker set backwards. The statement does not make sense from a clinical point of view and is not confirmed by the investigations carried out so far or even by the family consultants ”. This is what we read in a note from the Child Jesus in relation to the death of a two-year-old boy for which eight doctors from the Roman hospital are investigated. “Instead, the press release reads, a complication predicted in the literature that occurs in very few cases and can be resolved surgically. The surgery was already scheduled. But sadly, the boy, while waiting to return to the hospital, contracted a virus and then pneumonia that proved fatal. The hospital is close to the family and relies on the work of the judiciary. “
