Quick Intervention by Doctor Saves Young Footballer's Life During Match

Doctor Romano Bucci was the protagonist of a timely intervention yesterday afternoon that managed to save the life of a young footballer during the Spring3 championship match between Foggia and Catanzaro. During the first half, with the score at 0-0, Pierfrancesco Gatto of Catanzaro, born in 2007, jumping headfirst to hit a ball that then ended up on the crossbar, collided with an opponent and fell to the ground unconscious. The doctor's intervention was decisive. The footballer regained consciousness after a few minutes. "It was a game collision on a cross, one of the two boys involved got the worse with a cranial trauma," said the Foggia doctor - We intervened immediately, implementing the prescribed practices. I will visit the footballer in the hospital, currently hospitalized for observation at the United polyclinic, but his conditions have improved. Doctor Bucci then added to Adnkronos: "The situation immediately appeared serious. Other times, since I have been following the youth sector of Foggia for 12 years, I have faced even very heavy events, but not as dramatic as that of yesterday. Calling me a hero is out of place, the help and support of two very valid rescuers were fundamental in the emergency."
