Rome: When Pope John Paul II was treated at Gemelli Roma Hospital on July 12, 1992, he told the world alone a few hours before during a regular Sunday speech in St.
Square.
Peter.
“I want to give you a secret,” he said before revealing that he would enter the hospital that night.
His departure from the Vatican, the crowd led to the convoy route, and his arrival at the front door of the hospital at the Mercedes Convertible was broadcast on television.
When Pope Francis entered the same hospital on Sunday, the Vatican announced it in a statement of two paragraphs after he arrived in a small car, sneaking inside and was ready for large intestinal operation.
Both episodes show differences in the style of two whales in dealing with health, privacy, and communication.
Since Francis entered the hospital on Sunday, the Vatican has published five very short statements with important information.
Wednesday’s statement said his recovery was “regular and satisfying”, that he ate regularly, no longer accepted the drug intravenously, and that the biopsy confirmed that he had suffered “heavy diverticular stenosis,” or the narrowing of the large intestine.
When John Paul was in the same hospital – almost 10 times in 27 years as a pontist – it was a doctor who issued a detailed medical bulletin, talked to reporters in the lobby and became a small celebrity on night news.
Politicians and others appeared at the hospital even if they could not see John Paul.
They were accepted by his secretary or other Vatican officials, signing a visitor book and recorded by a television camera.
Guidance for hospitals is low and lack of detail is believed to come directly from Francis, which keeps the privacy closer than John Paul.
Every difference is different “every famous person, including a Pope, is different,” said someone who deals with communication at the main medical institution in Italy.
“The hospital is binding when dealing with famous people because there are strict privacy laws but the public wants information.
It usually falls in patients to decide how much to reveal,” said the person, who talked about anonymous conditions.
Beginning on Wednesday in Gemelli there were only two television crew and a handful of photographers.
They were revealed to the parking lot and were not permitted in the lobby.
During the past few days of John Paul, the lobby became a whirlwind wind, with television reporters trying to get a bite of voice from doctors, patients and visitors.
On Wednesday morning in Gemelli, the lobby was busy but no one showed that VIP was on the 10th floor of a spacious Catholic hospital.
Some of the floors are permanently intended for whales and include their own intensive care unit.
John Paul, who became the Pope as a 58-year-old fit person, had many health problems during his papacy, starting with the effects of being shot in the abdomen by the killer candidate on May 13, 1981 in St.
Alun.
Peter.
During 1992 he was hospitalized he had a bowel tumor.
He then took off his shoulders, broke his thigh bone, suffered from a severe Parkinson’s disease and needed a tracheotomy to help him breathe weeks before he died in 2005.
He suffered at length and in public and even writing documents about how suffering could Bring spiritual benefits.
Francis once told a reporter that in the case of murder attempts, he wanted rapid death because he was afraid of pain.
