ANCONA – Intermediate weather in citadel of health de Torrette is never silent. Above all, let’s not forget the missing person, when at the height of the pandemic there were 47 patients admitted to intensive care, 90 to sub-intensive care, 190 in whom an ordinary hospitalization was sufficient. How to forget the darkness of the trench.

The infections tripled: the coronavirus circulates in the Marches at two speeds, but hospitalizations are far from the peak
It was the days between March 27 and 28 in which in a whisper it went from 14 to 47 resuscitation posts, when in the room all the butterflies seemed forced to put on diving suits and in exhausting shifts.
“It was a hospital with problems.” On the high floors of the building overlooking the emergency room, Michele Caporossi quickly reviews the stages of a terrible ordeal that swept the planet. The general manager of the Ospedali Riuniti looks out the sun-warmed window of a spacious and rational meeting room. “At the end of May we were free of Covid again.” A milestone that only lasted until August. Then the course began to reverse again. «Today we have two positive patients in intensive care, eleven hospitalized, between the Clinic and the Division, for infectious diseases. A woman was discharged from Salesi on Thursday. Put back the scary figures, Caporossi, but without going beyond the sterile terrain of panic. Never, because in the Torrette health center the time in between is not silent. “Within a month and a half, 28 intensive care places will be dedicated to Covid in case of need; 18 will be available from Monday ».
It must be that the words uttered just an hour earlier by the new governor of the Marches Francesco Acquaroli still echo in the CEO’s mind. “We have to work as a team, it will be a difficult autumn,” urges the public gathered in the Totti room, except for one in the central body of the hospital, for the presentation of the night rescue service by helicopter. We should not be alarmed – it is his principle – but we are on the alert: it means telling everyone that there are behaviors to fear in order to limit or keep contagions under control, precisely to avoid other closures that would be devastating for our economic and social system. “
The summary: “We must implement all the policies to avoid the emergency.” He reiterates: «All». Arturo Pasqualucci, in his first public jokes as medical director, does not miss the passage. Which sometimes becomes useful information. “At Torrette Hospital, an average of 1,000 swabs are processed every day. Days ago we exceeded 1,300 ». They come from Gran Area 2, Ancona and surroundings, and now also from 3, because in Macerata they are short of reagents. Pasqualucci takes up the thread: “Sixty are those that are carried out daily in the Covid-camper located in the hospital parking lot: they are reserved for those who will have to be operated on or visited in our facilities.”
Here Caporossi returns, exploiting the wake of the figures to define the new field of action: “It is a model that tends to ours.” Torrette’s leader does not forget the time that has elapsed, rather he uses it to prevent history from repeating itself. In three months we have lost 4,500 surgeries due to habit out of 9,000, 50% ”. He immediately tries to get back on track: “We have only recovered a part, 50%, about 2,200”. The method adopted to not give in to the low blows of the virus is simple: “Extended times and additional prescriptions paid separately”, are the details of the general manager. Which is supported by a partial balance: «With Tac and resonances we are the same, for visits we follow -35% of the activity. Pandemic provisions do not allow us to do more. Reflect aloud: “We cannot afford to be a Covid hospital again.” It would be an unbearable encore for a pole of excellence that is a regional benchmark.
«No – insists Caporossi – In the pre-Covid period, 6,500 people passed through our hospital. No place in the Marches was so defeated. Now it is 30% less, no more than 4,000 ». Acquaroli’s words resurface in the mind. “He asked us to offer maximum cooperation on the source of the swabs.” Pasqualucci engages Caporossi and plays early. “The hypothesis of producing the kits in know-house is being considered.” Translated: reagents will soon be made Ospedali Riuniti. This is how the intermediate tense is used.
