The symptoms of a pensioner in the province of Pisa are underestimated. Daughter’s anger: “They didn’t cure it”
PISA. For days they told their daughter that her father breathed badly because he was fat. On the other hand, he already had all the symptoms of the coronavirus and yesterday morning he died in the Cisanello hospital. “The truth is that my father and mother, who also suffers from cancer, have been left to their own devices for days. Only when I asked the mayor for help did I get 118 to intervene, ”says his daughter, Silvia Casati. These are hours of great pain for his family. But also anger at how the father’s illness began, at the lack of response from primary health care providers and also from local services.
Silvia agrees to tell her father’s story to prevent other people from going through what she and her mother are experiencing. Earlier this month Walter casati, 73, from Chianni, a former Piaggio employee begins to feel bad. “I had a high fever and all the symptoms of Covid – says the daughter – we went to the family doctor and then also to the Usca. No way. Meanwhile, my father was treated for a form of gastritis that caused intestinal problems. So much so that at the beginning they prescribed Enterogermina ».
It must be said that his wife lived in the house with the man, also in her seventies and struggling with cancer treatments, therefore exposed to greater risks. “It was also a problem to ask for tampons, even when my father’s condition worsened, he was in severe pain and was unable to stand up. However, after having treated him with Enterogermina for a week – adds the daughter – we were able to have tampons. The fact is that in the meantime my parents are left alone. The only answers we got were from the mayor and Mercy volunteers. “
The woman said that she had called several times the family doctor, Usca and also 118. “If the first two did not respond to our requests, 118 explained to me that I had to contact the treating doctor.” Meanwhile, the days go by and the 73-year-old gets worse. «About ten days ago, when the situation was no longer manageable – adds the daughter – and after I also had difficulties with the Usca, I asked the mayor for help. I did not know what to do “.
Giacomo Tarrini calls 118 and urges that an ambulance be dispatched. Casati is transferred to the emergency room of the Pontedera hospital, then to the Covid room. But now the clinical picture is very compromised. After a while, the man is transferred to Cisanello and hopes of his success are reduced to a minimum.
Yesterday morning, his wife and daughters received a call from the hospital. Your loved one failed due to complications from Covid. Anxiety is also very good for the mother.
“I am destroyed. But what happened to my father cannot happen in silence. What hurts me the most is hearing certain responses and seeing an attitude of detachment. When I started to point out to the doctor that my father was sick and was breathing with difficulty, they told me a phase that I will never forget: “He’s fat, he breathes badly because of that.” Instead, Covid was already running its course. “
Yesterday the news of Walter Casati’s death spread to Chianni and Mayor Tarrini extended words of condolences to the family. “Another fellow citizen of ours had to surrender to the ferocity of Covid, once again I find myself in great difficulty to bring comfort and show my closeness and that of the entire Chiannerina community by turning to the family of Walter Casati. Condolences to Luciana, Suria and Silvia ».
In the town there is also a strong controversy due to the lack of responses from health professionals urged to intervene.
