Good evening. i m Ludovica i m 22 years old. i m part of a big italian family: i have 2 sisters and 3 brothers . i m living in London from one year. i m writing because when i was 11, my mother had a cardiac arrest. During the years she had to do other operations always because sometimes the pacemakers and sometimes the catheters were always defective, NOT because she was sick or because she had some other problems. The catheter that she has inside was defective and now the kind of sheath that covers the tip of the catheter is broken inside the heart to 180 degrees (half of it). If it will create infection my mother will die in 3 hours and she will neither have the time to arrive to the hospital in Pisa (Italy). At the moment the doctor of Pisa refuses to do the operation because it is very risky. I don t know what to do. I can t accept that i will lose my mother because someone did a mistake , i maybe could if she was sick but she is not and she is just 50. it s a continuos pain in my heart and in my brain that never stop from 11 years. If i could i would like to give her my heart but i don t think it is possible. I blame myself because i don t find a solution, because i can t save her. i m desperate so at least i m trying to ask help to You and to someone because i don t know what else i can do. I m sorry for the disturb. thanks in every case. Ludovica
