Coronavirus: Dying Patients Beg Doctors To See Families One Last Time In Italy by Explorers(m): 5:57am On Mar 21, 2020 |
An Italian doctor has described the heartbreaking final moments of dozens of coronavirus patients before they succumb to the deadly virus. Doctor Francesca Cortellaro, who works at Milan's San Carlo Borromeo hospital, has had to witness patients saying goodbye to their relatives before they die alone. The doctor: 'You know what's most dramatic? 'Seeing patients dying alone, listening to them as they beg you to say goodbye to their children and grandchildren.' She added: 'They are lucid, they do not go into narcolepsy. It is as if they were drowning, but with time to understand it. 'When they are about to die, they sense it'. And describing the moment where she did her best to help the critically ill grandmother, she said: 'I pulled out the phone and called her on video. 'They said goodbye. Soon after she was gone.' The doctor added that she now has a long 'farewell' list of similar calls which she has helped patients to make. Photos: A patient is carried from an ambulance at a hospital in Rome. Medics treats a coronavirus patient on a makeshift bed in Brescia, Italy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8135907/Italian-doctor-describes-dying-patients-moments-plead-loved-ones-final-time.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44 1 Like

The sight of sisters Florence, three, and Edith, one, pressing their hands against the glass, as their great-grandparents in isolation did the same on their side, summed up our national plight in U.K. There will be some terrible images documenting this nightmarish era for the history books. 7 Likes

Italy has the second-oldest population in the world, and the outbreak has killed a disproportionately high number of people in their 80s and 90s. Whoever Patient Zero was -- yet to be determined -- that individual may have brought the virus to Italy weeks before anyone noticed. 4 Likes |

Dying and knowing that you're dying and knowing that you can't do anything about it. Even the person trying to save you can't offer much. Such a painful death. May we never experince such painful death 29 Likes 2 Shares |

I got Intel that a part of Italy has massive number of Chinese! It's not just one person that brought in this virus, but SEVERAL! Cos they traveled for their new year and then came back. That aside, the part of Italy having elderly people is true. Then again the medical facilities are limited and they can't give each patient the kind of attention the Italian man in Lagos got. 2 Likes |
