We want to understand what happened, if he was treated properly or if someone made a mistake ». Regarding Bellan’s health situation, it is clear that he had faced some common problems, given his age, such as cataracts; but also that he had been living with for years various pathologiesfrom diabetes to the heart, passing through rheumatoid arthritis that had gradually made it difficult for him to walk. And there was no lack of infection either Covidthat for a month had forced him to be hospitalized a Three hundredfrom which, however, he had recovered. «The situation worsened in July due to severe pain at the back – continues Gianfranco – they hospitalized him for a week and then he was sent home. But as the pain persisted, we had him hospitalized again and again after a few days he was discharged. Neither the general practitioner nor especially thehospital they were able to tell me what was happening, what the problem was ».
“And so, for 35 days – continues Gianfranco – my brother’s health was put back in my hands: without being a doctor or nurse, I had to take care of him, even learning to change his infusions because the health personnel, although kind and available, he did not have the possibility to follow him consistently ».

LACK OF INFORMATION
«Death is unfortunately a natural fact – concludes Gianfranco – with our parents, suffering from tumor pathologies, we were somehow prepared, but with Massimo it was not like that. For years he lived with his pathologies he assumed medicinal and undergoing controls; in the last period no doctor told me that the situation was getting worse. I am this trust gone disappointed, this lack of information from a structure that for us inhabitants of the Delta is a point of reference, which prompted me to ask for the files. I want to understand because my brother died and if everything that could be done has been done for him. ‘
