Patrizia Minerva
Patrizia Minerva is a 35-year-old woman who has been living with tetraplegia for 11 years due to a misdiagnosed stroke. In July 2015, she visited the Policlinico di Bari experiencing severe headaches and difficulty speaking, but medical staff mistakenly attributed her symptoms to intoxication. This error led to her current condition, and she now communicates using a laser pointer. Recently, the hospital acknowledged its responsibility by compensating her family with over one million euros, while also pursuing damages from the four doctors involved in her care, adding legal complexity to her tragic story.
