He underwent five surgeries in a short period of time for intestinal obstruction and died due to post-operative complications. A few weeks ago, his family won the legal battle against the doctors at Arnas Brotzu in Cagliari, obtaining a huge compensation of 1.1 million euros.
The story was reported by the Ansa agency. The victim of the "case of medical malpractice" was a 75-year-old from Cagliari, who died in the summer of 2021.
"According to the findings of the technical consultants appointed by the court - explains the Rome lawyer Gabriele Chiarini, who followed the case - there were late diagnoses of post-operative complications, errors in the management of surgical procedures, as well as insufficient monitoring of the post-operative course . The deficiencies found irreparably compromised the patient's possibility of recovery, unfortunately leading to his death".
In December, again according to what was reported by Ansa, the civil court thus recognized the responsibility of the health facility for violation of diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.
