The 11-year-old girl was discharged from hospital with a simple anti-inflammatory: she died a few days later

It all started on October 22nd, when 11-year-old Lucia S. was accompanied by her parents to the Santobono hospital in Naples after having suffered a severe headache and stomach ache for many hours. Her doctors treated her with a simple anti-inflammatory and sent her home, but her baby still felt ill in the following days: she died on October 26 due to widespread cerebral edema.

Lucia continued to feel very ill and her parents thought of entrusting themselves to hospital care, but on the afternoon of Sunday 22 October the doctors sent her home with a simple anti-inflammatory medicine. However, the little girl continued to experience severe headaches and vomit, which is why the family returned to the hospital a few days later. At this point the doctors carried out a CT scan and discovered widespread cerebral edema. The eleven-year-old was hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Santobono hospital in Naples.

The accusations of Ruby Barker from Bridgerton
The actress admitted that she had two psychotic breaks during filming. The problems started in the first week and continued until he was admitted to hospital. Even on this occasion, however, “no one from Netflix or Shondaland showed up to see if I was okay.” She continued:

“It’s as if someone wanted to hide the fact that I was sick. During filming, I was getting worse. It was a really tormented place for me because my character was very marginalized, very isolated, alone in terrible circumstances. And no one contacted me, not even an email to ask me if I was okay or if I could benefit from treatment or support.”

The beautiful Marina from Bridgerton concluded:

“My life was changing dramatically overnight and yet there was still no support, and there was no support throughout that time. So I was trying really hard to pretend that everything was fine, that I could work and that it wasn’t a problem. (…) For everyone it can appear to be a cheerful and fun moment, in my case it was like having a gun invisible to others constantly pointed at my head because I lived with the fear of saying anything, I was afraid of never working again”.
