The joy for the birth of a child was about to turn into the most painful of tragedies. Only the professionalism of the doctors of the Nostra Signora della Mercede di Lanusei prevented the death of Simona Demurtas, 40 years old deputy mayor of Jerzu, and her baby . Miracles happen. Even in suburban centers at constant risk of closure.
On 22 March Simona Demurtas feels the first regular contractions. He faces an alternative. Go immediately to Cagliari or go first to Lanusei where he already had a planned route and then leave for the capital. Demurtas opts for the second possibility. At the Lanuseo hospital the situation precipitates. From the tracing, the gynecologist notes important decelerations in the child's heartbeat.
Simona begins to have excruciating pain and bleeding. Doctors evaluate an emergency cesarean because there is a laceration of the placenta. " And so in the obstetrics and gynecology department where no one has been born for over a year, they are forced to give birth to save us - says Demurtas - Giuseppe Francesco and I owe our lives to the promptness and preparation of the department".
