Mourning, tears and revolt, but also an investigation at the Emergency Hospital in Galaţi, after the tragic death of a 21-year-old girl, a student at the Faculty of Medicine.

Her family accuses the doctors of misdiagnosing her twice and it wasn’t until 48 hours later that doctors realized they were dealing with an emergency.
They operated on her twice, but after almost two weeks of agony, the baby died. The parents want to know now if their daughter could still be saved, and he would have had a chance if the doctors hadn’t groped for the diagnosis.
Mihaela was 21 years old and at the same time attended the courses of the Faculty of Medicine and those of a Post-secondary School of Nurses. Her mother says she arrived at the Emergency Department of the County Hospital in Galati on Thursday, October 28, with back pain.
Carmen Anghele, the girl’s mother: “I waited six hours until he was diagnosed and prescribed. A misdiagnosis, so I emphasize, WRONG, ie lumbosciatica, without approaching it. He simply asked her, she told him that “my back hurts”, “yes, lumbosciatica”.
He was prescribed sedatives. On Friday, the girl continued to complain that she was in pain. He came back to the hospital and the neurosurgeon maintained the diagnosis of lumbosciatica and recommended that he have an MRI. But he didn’t have time to do it. On Saturday, in the bathroom, the young woman and her mother discovered what would turn out to be a perianal abscess, a infection.
Carmen Anghele, the girl’s mother: “The ladies over there said, ‘Oh, are you coming back for a backache?’ “But I, taking a picture of this abscess, showed it to the doctor, and then when she saw it, it changed to 180 degrees: Call the surgeon quickly, because this girl has an abscess and she’s going to die. . “
Just then, Mihaela fainted and there was agitation in the guard room. The girl’s mother, angry with the doctors, took her home. The girl’s condition, however, was deteriorating. The young woman had vomiting and a high fever. On Sunday morning, Mihaela returned to the hospital.
At 11 o’clock, tests were taken and samples were taken for a PCR test. The negative result came only at 9 o’clock in the evening. All the while, the family waited in the hospital lobby.
Carmen Anghele, the girl’s mother: “My daughter was shivering. I asked for a blanket to wrap it, they didn’t come to bring me anything. I took off my clothes, put my clothes on her, I put on her to warm her. I told my husband to bring a blanket from the car to heat it. And when I asked for a thermometer, the nurses on duty said they were bringing them to me. And they didn’t come with the thermometer either. “
She had surgery on Sunday night, and on Monday morning a doctor called her mother and told her that he has minimal chance of escaping with his life. However, he asked for her consent for a second surgery in the abdominal area.
Luana Vlad, the girl’s aunt: “He said to wait and God work a miracle, as he did his work.”
The girl’s condition deteriorated, however, continuously, as in a curse without escape.
Carmen Anghele, the girl’s mother: “On Sunday at 11 in the morning, her tests were good, and after the operation, the tests were already disastrous. Starting the next day, they started appearing: e-coli, Klebsiella. After that, the Shingles Zone appeared, her organs also gave way, they intubated her. “
Dr. Violetă Şapira, spokesperson Galati Emergency Clinical Hospital; “He received all the necessary medical care and investigations, care that was constantly adapted to the clinical-biological and imaging changes that occurred during hospitalization.”
The family said it requested the transfer of the girl to another hospital, when her condition proved to be very serious, but doctors said she was not transportable. Yesterday, the 21-year-old student passed away. The girl’s mother is asking for an investigation because she thinks the doctors are to blame for her child’s death. She has filed a complaint with the hospital and wants to notify the Prosecutor’s Office as well.
