The doctors then spoke of pain related to bad posture, which is why the boy’s parents were not at all worried. In the following days, however, the situation did not improve, on the contrary. This is how the child was subjected to a X-ray which showed how both knees were fractured.

Yet another case of medical negligence:

The child was therefore taken into consideration by the health system, as he had to undergo several treatments specialist visits to understand what had happened. No doctor had noticed that swelling that day after day was getting worse and worse.

To investigate the matter, Lecce Prosecutor’s Office. The information on this story is still little known and very scarce, but we could be faced with yet another case of medical malpractice. The doctors and nurses do not know how the boy caused such damage, but not only that.

During the hospital stay, no one paid attention to the health of his legs, which were already visibly swollen.
