The violence that is seen in the video of the crash that left

Chacarita player Rodrigo Gramajo (20)

in a

coma

a month ago can only be borne by knowing what his family calls "

the miracle

": "Rocco" 

woke up

and is fine but still hospitalized at the mercy of the pandemic.

His social work, Viasano Salud,

does not get him

space

to transfer and operate him, and the Ciudadela hospital needs him to

free the bed

.

In the middle, Rodrigo remains hospitalized in the intermediate ward of the Ramón Carrillo hospital lucid and with a catheter.

His right knee is shattered, the aftermath of the crash in which he was struck, on February 28 in Tres de Febrero.

Doctors informed him that 

they have to operate on him

because he broke his kneecap and menisci, a crucial injury to his sports career.

Although, for now, his future in football is not talked about.

The priority for his family, who does not know how to be

grateful

that Rodrigo has overcome that brutal shock, is another: his physical and mental recovery.

“We are waiting for the blessed of the transfer, that my son will receive

an operating room

from Viasano Salud

.

I don't know where or where, but how much sooner, "says

the mother of the Chacarita player

to

Clarín

Evangelina.

She, along with her husband and Rodrigo's girlfriend, take turns taking care of him: through an

injunction

they presented to the authorities of the Carrillo hospital, they obtained permission to be with him in that room that has

30 patients and five nurses

.

“The worst is over.

He is clinically stable and well, but he has not been discharged from trauma and I

cannot take him home like that

, with a broken leg, ”explains Evangelina, who is the first to understand that the context of coronavirus imposes other rules.

Evangelina is "very grateful" to Carrillo and says that her son's social work has him

on a waiting list

.

"Every day we call to see if there is room," he adds.

And he continues: “Due to the pandemic

we are in the middle

.

In the hospital, with its logical and understandable reasons, they need the place and we know that it is complicated by the coronavirus.

And the social work, which is also saturated by Covid, needs to get him an operating room as soon as possible.

Time passes and

my son cannot be without surgery,

but I also understand the context in which we live ”.

"It's maddening"


Rodrigo is visited in the hospital by a psychologist, a nutritionist, traumatologists and does rehabilitation.

What worries his parents most is the

emotional

part

of their son.

You are also exposed to Covid.

What happens to us with Rodrigo

must happen to a lot of people

.

It is truly

exasperating

not being able to move forward with your treatment.

It generates a lot of

anguish

as a family but we understand what is happening with the pandemic ”, Evangelina is sincere.

As

Clarín

learned

from other sources consulted, "the auditor of the social work and the hospital authorities have met, but

have not reached an agreement

."

And they detailed: "They would even have proposed to give them all the supplies so that they could operate it in Carrillo, but they did not agree either."

Clarín

tried to contact the Carrillo authorities but received no response.

They also did not provide information from the social work.

The Churruca club made a solidarity move to raise funds for Rodrigo.

Meanwhile, Rodrigo

turned 20

on April 17 at the hospital and recorded a video with his cell phone where he thanked everyone for their support.

The day before he woke up, a massive

solidarity day was held

at the Churruca club to raise funds and collaborate with the recovery.

The cause


Two days after the accident, Rodrigo's family, friends and neighbors marched to ask for

justice. 

The image of the video was overwhelming: three people got out of the car and escaped without assisting him after running him over when the footballer returned on his motorcycle and without a helmet leaving his girlfriend at home.

Only the

driver

of the Chevrolet Onix, who after hitting Rodrigo's motorcycle got on the sidewalk, hit a tree and a Fiat Palio;

He stayed that March 28 at the intersection of El Parque and Río Cuarto, in Loma Hermosa, part of Tres de Febrero.

The car that hit the Chacarita player 

had been stolen

in Moreno.

Inside were license plates hidden under the passenger seat mat.

The day after the march, the driver was

arrested

by order of the prosecutor Favio Cardigonde of UFI No. 7 of San Martín.

The prosecutor charged the detainee with the crimes of “

concealment, culpable injuries and aggravated robbery

by the use of an unavailable weapon.” Currently, he remains in custody with preventive detention. Of the rest of the people who were with him that night in the Chevrolet Onix nothing it's known.

The case is in charge of the Court of Guarantees No. 3, which has to "see the prosecutors of the UFI No. 10 of Moreno so that they can

accept the competition

and keep the file," indicated the sources consulted.

The main cause is the theft of the car, which occurred in the jurisdiction of Moreno and not in San Martín, and that is why the prosecutor Cardigonde raised his

incompetence

in the case.
