October 3, 2022
The Palermo right loses one of its symbols. Antonio Triolo, head of the secretariat of the councilor for cultural heritage and Sicilian identity, died suddenly last night. It was a heart attack that crushed him. He was 50 years old. Provincial coordinator of the Lega Salvini Premier in Palermo until spring 2020, he was a candidate for the last municipal with Prima Italia. He had been part of the National Sovereignty Movement.
An old militant of the Paleritan right, he was - with his group - among the organizers of the torchlight procession for Paolo Borsellino on the anniversary of the killing of the judge. This is the memory of the regional councilor for cultural heritage, Alberto Samonà, with whom Triolo had worked for a long time. "For 35 years,” says Samonà, “we have shared a life of battles, dreams, hopes, ideas and projects. In the name of our ideals, of a story destined to write pages of the future. You left too soon". Married, Antonio Triolo leaves two children.

Death after two discharges, 3-hour autopsy on the 19-year-old
September 30, 2022
It lasted more than three hours, yesterday: the autopsy on the body of Leonardo Preteso. The nineteen-year-old Taranto died six days ago at the Santissima Annunziata hospital where he had been hospitalized after two discharges in the days immediately preceding his death. This led the parents to file a complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office of Taranto which opened a file investigating 12 hospital doctors on duty in various departments where the young man had been treated. Apparently the cause of death would have been a massive and unstoppable abdominal hemorrhage caused by the presence of several lesions of the vascular system, both arterial and venous, the nature of which has yet to be investigated. The examination was carried out in the autopsy room of the Santissima Annunziata was attended by the four forensic doctors appointed by the suspects: Massimo Brunetti, Sergio Lubelli, Giovanni Pizzino and Federica Mele, and also one by the boy's family, Aldo Di Fazio. The latter, made available by the Studio 3A Valore, specialized in legal assistance in cases of alleged medical negligence.
Today the body should be delivered to the family for the funeral. This will close a very sad story that began at the end of August when the boy, until then in perfectly excellent health, presented the first ailments that led him to the emergency room of the city hospital from which he was discharged after a series of examinations that had shown anomalies of the carotid artery. On September 17, a second hospitalization and another discharge after a series of consultations with various specialists. On September 22, a third and final episode, more serious than the previous ones, led the young man back in the hospital where this time he was admitted to the neurology department. It was there that, at dawn on September 23, the nineteen-year-old had an irreversible cardiac arrest.
Shortly before, the young man had spoken on the phone with his father to whom he had reported he still had pain in his abdomen. Shortly after, a doctor in the ward called the parents and asked them to go to the hospital because of sudden complications. Upon arrival at the ward, the family learned that their son had been intubated and transferred to radiology for a CT scan: the examination that never concluded because his heart stopped. The pain and anger of the parents did the rest. Thus began the complaint to the Ionian Public Prosecutor's Office which ordered the seizure of the clinical documentation and the registration, as a due act on the register of suspects, of the twelve doctors who answer for manslaughter.

There are no ambulances, a doctor taken ill and dies in Calabria
September 27, 2022
A doctor from Lamezia Terme (Catanzaro), Raffaele Caparello, died last night following an illness. The 118 service was unable to send an ambulance due to unavailability of vehicles and personnel. To reconstruct the incident is Amalia Bruni, regional councilor, candidate for the presidency of the Executive in the last elections.
“Last night around 3 am - complaint - Doctor Caparello began to feel severe pain in his chest and arm and asked his family to call 118 where, however, they replied that there were no ambulances available. A new call is made after about an hour, but the answer does not change. At this point the medical guard is notified and the doctor decides for immediate transport to the emergency room of the Lamezia hospital where, however, Caparello dies shortly after. A life spent treating patients, thousands of patients before retiring to end up without adequate treatment in his city. Immense pain he is feeling in these terrible hours. But a serious reflection on the 118 affair must be made and also in a short time. Because it is not possible to die on the street or at home because there are no ambulances and the few that circulate do not have doctors, only this year we have had several victims for this reason.”

In memory of those who 'died suddenly,' in Italy, September 26-October 3
Mark, I feel lucky to get to see your work, it is exemplary. I am reminded of a fellow I used to work with at a company where we had a softball team. He was sort of short and compact, maybe 5'-5" and incredibly fit. When we played softball he would be the guy turning a single into a double, a double into a triple, a triple into a home run. His baserunning was formidable, fearable. He put out at least twice or more the effort of anyone else on the team, and for the most part all I could do was watch him in amazement. It was a lesson. You are the only substack I can afford to support and I am so happy to do so. Best from Oregon.
Dear Mark - this is so hard to read. It’s the first time I read a full post (ok 88% of it). My insides are writing in sadness. I know so few but dear people in Italy. I know of one specific person jab injured. I had to stop after reading so many. How do you have the strength to do this, I think it’s the divine warrior in you. Thank you.
