After experiencing severe pain and noticing losses, pregnant woman goes to the emergency room: doctors send her home
The unfortunate episode happened in Sassari. A pregnant woman she lost her baby at five weeks’ gestation. The life of the whole world has changed due to the Pandemic and in this last period, with the infections returning, everyone is afraid of getting infected. This has also had serious consequences in health facilities.
Doctors and nurses are at work 24 hours and the situation is very stressful in hospitals. The people who are losing the most, however, are the ones who have in need of care which have nothing to do with Covid-19. Unfortunately, the relationship between doctor and patient has also changed due to the virus.
A five weeks pregnant woman went to the emergency room of the health facility in Viale San Pietro in Sassari, after losses and gods belly pains. Like any future mother, worried about her baby, she ran to the hospital. It was her husband who told what happened.
The man explained that once he reached the emergency room and described the symptoms to a midwife, the medical team asked her if she was vaccinated or provided with a result of a negative buffer. The pregnant woman informed them that she has two doses of the vaccine and no tampons in the last few hours.
After the midwife calls the ward doctor, she reports to my wife that she can’t be seen because the molecular swab is needed to access. Can’t it be done right away? Let’s ask. The answer is that before Monday it would have been impossible. In any case, he reassures us by telling us to go home, monitor the loss, and if it should increase, to reappear immediately.
So, the wife and husband leave the hospital and head to the parking lot to get back to their car. But at that moment the pregnant woman’s bleeding gets worse, miscarriage.
The words of the pregnant woman
The pregnant woman explained that she is aware that such episodes can happen during the first month and that perhaps the visit to the emergency room could not have changed that fate, but she is angry and sad, because her situation deserved. human understanding.
I felt cast aside, because I think that a visit to a mother who is sick, who has been waiting for this treasure for five years, is a sacrosanct right. It would have helped me to accept everything with less bitterness.
After what happened, the head of the gynecology department he explained that the Covid situation is not easy to manage in this last period and that they are trying to resolve in the pre-triage the simplest cases and which do not have a negative buffer.
We are truly sorry for what happened to the patient later. But sad to say, we couldn’t have changed that. Not at least in such a premature stage of the fetus.
