Tomorrow, Nov 15th is the anniversary of Geno's death in 1966. He died around midnight in the tiny windowless furnished room (bed-sitter) we had rented near the old West London Hospital in Hammersmith. Four days earlier I had taken him to the Hospital when he experienced a serious abdominal pain. He was examined and sent home. During the next four days I saw five different doctors, trying to get s
ome help for him as it was clear his health was declining. We did not have a telephone or car. One hour before he died a doctor did come to see him and said that he needed to get to the hospital quickly. Ha said he was going to go outside to his car and radio for an ambulance. I asked him to wait with us until it came. He refused. The ambulance never came. His last words to me were,"Don't worry, it's nothing". It turned out he had ulcerative colitis which had perforated, causing peritonitis. He had be hospitalized twice before, in Rome in Dec., 1965 and in Paris Aug 1966. He was never diagnosed correctly. He was 25 1/2 years old.
