  • Coronavirus Children killed by Covid in Indonesia, what is happening?

The pulmonologist

Giuseppe De Donno

, 54,

he took his own life. The discovery took place in the late afternoon of Tuesday, July 27, when

the doctor's lifeless body was found at his home in Curtatone, near Mantua

, in Italy.



In a state of shock is the community of Mantua and their medical colleagues, who never expected a similar episode to occur. The doctor would not have left messages, but the causes should be sought both in personal problems and, perhaps, work.

De Donno made headlines in late 2020, when with his colleagues from the Carlo Poma hospital in Mantua he had invested energy and resources in treating

Covid

using

hyperimmune plasma

. However, over time the study of such treatment has been abandoned, even in the face of international research and studies on the subject.

"The treatment works," he

said then. "In all this month we have not had deaths among the treated people. Only the patients who have improved to heal or have stabilized. Nobody got worse. It is no longer anecdotal: we have testimonies and medical histories of many patients. We have sent everything to the community scientific, we are waiting for its publication. But I would like to clarify one thing, "explained

Donno

in an interview with

Corriere della Sera

at the end of 2020.



For several weeks, after having spent years as chief of pulmonology at the Mantua hospital He had been a general practitioner in Porto Mantovano.

De Donno, in fact,

had resigned

from the city hospital, preferring to dedicate himself to family medicine in the town on the outskirts of the city.



"We are sincerely stunned," says the director of Mantua Asst. "I met him in person and met more than once with De Donno and I must say that he was a truly exquisite person: honest to the end, always giving his life for others.

During the first wave of Covid he gave the best of himself

and was truly appreciated by both his medical colleagues and the hundreds of patients who have had to deal with him. He had also invested heavily in plasma research, a cure that has now been abandoned but has nevertheless paid off. .

The abandonment of plasma for other treatments was certainly a very difficult blow for him to handle

.
