Patient recovered from Covid to doctors of Acireale: “Your eyes gave me courage”

by admin

This is a 70-year-old person who remained in hospital for 25 days. He wrote a letter thanking doctors and auxiliaries

ACIREALE – «Thank you! It is a small word, but spoken with the heart, which helps us to do our job better and better. I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your professionalism and for the personal interest you have shown me. You are an extraordinary staff. Thanks to all the doctors, psychologists, nurses, therapists and auxiliaries. I don’t remember the names of all of you, but I remember your eyes which gave me security and courage ». These are the words that a seventy-year-old patient, after winning her personal battle against Covid, entrusted to a letter addressed to the staff of the Physical and Rehabilitative Medicine UOC of the Acireale Hospital. Last February the hospitalization for having contracted Covid and the transfer to the ward headed by dr. Biagio Papotto, where he began his 25-day rehabilitation treatment. Today she is fine and has returned home.

The structure, the only one of its kind in Sicily in a public hospital, is equipped with 16 beds for ordinary hospitalizations and guarantees care for patients with concomitant orthopedic, neurological pathologies or related Sars-Cov 2 respiratory insufficiency. Over 50 patients hospitalized during the three-month service conversion. There are currently 14.

“Most of the patients treated – explains Papotto – is made up of elderly people. Often after the acute phase, which required hospitalization in infectious disease wards or intensive care, it was necessary to assist many of them also for the primary activities of daily life, such as simply washing, dressing, feeding, walking. The daily intervention of psychologists and psychotherapists was also of great importance. Three months after the opening of the service, I believe that the choice made by the top management in agreement with the regional institutions and the Covid emergency commissioner was a far-sighted choice, which we accepted as a professional bet to protect the most fragile people .
