The region now will pay damages and all legal costs For 24 years a child, in the meantime become a woman of 29, residing in the valley of Susa, in Turin, is in a coma for the failure of a physician who does not administer 'antichoc a drug after a compulsory vaccination. His mother, Antonella Scarpanti, who is now 46 years old, could no longer work and was abandoned by her husband. Intent 'a civil suit against the health authority, but after years on the court of first instance ruled against. In recent days, however, the Court of Appeal ordered the Piedmont Region, the successor to the dissolved healthcare company, to compensate it with 1.8 million plus interest and legal fees. " It's compensation records, never granted for reasons like this - explain the legal pool that has assisted the woman during these years - and a sentence that states the company's liability for error of health practitioners, who in this case is deceased in the meantime. " The pediatrician - a second expert witness - not administer 'of cortisone in the five days following vaccination and after the onset of shock. The drug would prevent the entry into a vegetative state after a diphtheria-tetanus which had been submitted in the local health clinics in 1988, when he was five.

" I can not gloat after all I had to endure and suffer because they dragged on for years, a situation that should be terminated immediately.

Now - ends - the compensation makes me more calm for the fact that if something happens to me, someone will be able to dispose of her. " " This judgment - the lawyers say Renato Ambrosio, Stefano Bertone Marco Bona and the law firm and Commodus Ambrosio, who witnessed her mother - has restored dignity to the mother after years of suffering and economic problems. That process was a very difficult time for her and for us, but winning on appeal repay us for all their suffering. " The judgment makes the lawyers' quite satisfied in terms of the law, because, for the second time in Italy, recognized the principle that the healthcare organization meets the error of the practitioner. Economic standpoint we met only partially, because for example established a compensation of only 5,000 per year for non-work potential of a little girl when she grew up. " To pay the sum will be subject to appeal to the Supreme Court, the Piedmont Region, " because - lawyers argue - after the disappearance of local health and training of local health services, the region is taking over 'all debts of the USL, including accumulated after their breakup. We hope - concluded - that there is an action that would slip compensation for other years: Our client is poor and has already made many sacrifices over a long period in which was the sole support for her daughter.
