00:00There are heroes with name and last name of what happened in Bahia Blanca and I want to say hello to Luciana Marrero,
00:07who is one of the nurses of the hospital Pena, who undoubtedly got into the neonatology room and saved the babies.
00:15Luciana, a big hug. I'm Luis Novales. How are you?
00:19Hi, how are you? Good morning. How are you?
00:21Very well. How are you now?
00:24And we, as we can, because my house was also affected, I also have 1.20 meters, 1.30 meters of water,
00:33I live half a block from the Maldonado canal that overflowed, so, well, I was able to get to my house when I could, actually.
00:43Of course. Tell us, were you on duty at that time? How was it?
00:50And we take shifts of 6 hours, I was working from 24 to 6 and well, we couldn't go back, so obviously we stayed in the hospital
01:04and it was there when, going down the stairs and going down the central corridor, because neonatology is in the basement,
01:13we already had the water passed to the knees and when we got to the neonatology again, we already had it on our waist
01:22and well, my colleagues in the morning, who could get there as they could, were already looking to see how they were moving
01:30and well, there we didn't hesitate and we started moving the babies.
01:35We have a mother's residence, one floor above, you go through the neonatology and well, there we left the babies that were with their mother
01:45and other mothers also taking care of babies that the mothers were not, the babies that were less complex,
01:54that were already in a pre-high, let's say, that already fed with breast and were without oxygen,
02:00they stayed there with their mothers and some nurses.
02:03How many babies were there, Luciana, how many babies were there?
02:07In total, in all the neonatology, between 11 and 12, more or less.
02:12And you had to move them, obviously, to the incubators and reconnect them again, because they are in the...
02:17We couldn't, sorry, we couldn't move them to the incubators, the water was very high and we moved some babies to a crib,
02:29that the father helped us and took them to the crib and they are babies that are the most complex,
02:36they have a tube that we call percutaneous, they were connected to the monitor,
02:43so, well, the pump that goes through the tube of the tube was going to give until the battery ran out,
02:54because we didn't have electricity there.
02:56And from what you know, how are the babies, Luciana, because they were moved,
03:01do you have any information about how the little ones are?
03:04Look, I didn't go back to work, but I understand that they are fine.
03:08I was moved with a baby of one kilo and less, because inside my chest, inside my anvil,
03:20which I think is the photo that is circulating, and well, they moved us in the army truck,
03:29because the head of the service tried to get us out with his private car,
03:33we couldn't, we were stranded, I mean, they didn't let us go to the other side,
03:38because at 5, 5 o'clock in the afternoon there was still 1.60 meters of height in some streets,
03:44and going to the other side is impossible, the ambulance also stayed,
03:48and well, there was no choice but to move in the army truck.
03:52And so we were able to arrive, and well, they arrived well,
03:56they were receiving us at the Employment Clinic, which I want to rescue,
04:01that we made a great team between the NEO of the PNA and the NEO of Employees of Commerce,
04:06because the truth is that the reception was excellent, the maneuver at a time of catastrophe.
04:15Luciana, how old are you?
04:2041
04:21And how long have you been working as a nurse?
04:24Yes, I actually retired in 2007, but as I was a mother and others, I have worked, I have left,
04:31and it will be 16 years that I work in neonatology.
04:38Before I was at Employees of Commerce, and then when I got the appointment,
04:43I moved to Public Health, to PNA.
04:46And why do you work there?
04:48And I've been there for 10 years.
04:49Why do you work as a nurse?
04:53Since I was 5 years old, that I want to be a neonatology nurse.
04:58My aunt Alicia is a nurse, she works in El Español, and when I was going to visit her,
05:05in El Español they would open a window and you could see how the nurses attended those babies.
05:11And I always said that I wanted to do that, that I wanted to work taking care of babies.
05:17And the truth is that I did it.
05:20And I imagine that you are a millionaire working as a nurse.
05:24No, no.
05:25No, no.
05:27I don't want to be indiscreet in any way, but approximately how much does a neonatology nurse earn in PNA?
05:34And now we receive a little increase and we reach 900,000 pesos.
05:40900,000 pesos?
05:42Yes.
05:43By hand?
05:45Yes.
05:47And how is your family? Can you tell me how your family is composed, Luciana?
05:52And I have my husband, who in 2023 lost his job.
05:57He worked at Coca-Cola Andina and, well, he lost his job.
06:01So they fired him for reduction of staff.
06:08So I had to stay with almost everything on my shoulder.
06:12Although they compensated him and so on.
06:14Well, as he just got a job a month ago, all his savings were running out.
06:23So, well, and we have four boys.
06:26Who? Four? Four boys?
06:28Yes. Tomás, 20, Lautaro, 16, Santina, 13 and Abril, 9.
06:35That's it. We stopped the production, Luciana.
06:38No, that's it.
06:39Are you sure?
06:40Yes, yes, yes, that's it.
06:43Tell me, being a mother of these four boys who have a beautiful, supportive old lady,
06:51what happened to you when you put that baby on your chest,
06:55you covered it with a blanket and a blanket and you got in the army truck?
07:03And I had it on my chest for a while because it's a girl.
07:08I had it on my chest for a while because it was getting cold.
07:12Her body temperature was going down.
07:15So it's a way of giving her human warmth.
07:20The truth is that I always put myself in the place of that mother who couldn't get there
07:26because her mother wasn't there at that moment.
07:29She couldn't cover her.
07:32So I got into that mother's despair, which in turn I also had despair for my children,
07:38because I didn't know what situation they were in.
07:42I was able to communicate at first and then we lost signal and I didn't know anything else.
07:49And I don't know, I think that if we didn't work, my colleagues and I,
08:00and the doctors and nurses who work in the neonatology service,
08:04if we didn't work with our hearts, we couldn't do it.
08:08Totally.
08:09Well, on behalf of, in representation of all those who made the heroic efforts,
08:17I congratulate you.
08:19It's an honor to talk to you.
08:22And what do you want to be when you grow up?
08:26I don't know.
08:28I'm doing my bachelor's degree in nursing too.
08:31I don't know when the classes will start, but now that my children are older,
08:36I have a little more time to continue studying.
08:39Well, you give a hug to your husband, a kiss to the four boys and an honor to meet you.
08:46Well, thank you very much for spreading everything we are going through.
08:50Bahía comes from slap in slap, because last season I was also working.
08:58So, nothing, thank you for being aware of everything that is happening to us.
09:06Nothing, at your disposal for whatever. Take care.
09:09Well, thank you very much.
09:12You are going to charge 200,000 pesos as a neonatologist.
09:17And she didn't hesitate for a second to do her job as it should be, putting her heart into it.
09:24These things excite me a lot.
09:27Because it's like Antonio and you said very early on,
09:30what ends up rescuing from these catastrophes of the country is the solidarity of the Argentines.
09:35It doesn't matter if it's the government on duty, it doesn't matter if it's the provincial, municipal, national.
09:40The Argentines are the ones who are helping each other.
09:44Alejandro Pueblas, I hear and see you again.
09:48Luis, we continue to travel now to try to get to another area that they tell me is very complicated.
09:53The images are stronger. We are going to go there,
09:57that we have not been to the bottom, where the horizon rises,
10:00that the street has also been torn down.
10:03They tell me that the situation is even more terrible.
10:06I don't know what is more terrible, I'm going to find out.
10:08Sincerely, because what I'm seeing is terrible.
10:11But they say that what is there is even worse.
10:14So we are going there together with Juan Chazarreta.
10:19It is very difficult to explain what one sees
10:22and to explain how people are trying to get up again.
10:26Luis, one testimony surpasses the other
10:29and a time history of one person surpasses the other.
10:33It is very strong to listen to them and see them,
10:36all crying.
10:37One says, I rescued a body.
10:39Another says, I lived in this house.
10:41Another says, my son is with the lady they found dead.
10:44She has not eaten for two days and is locked in her room.
10:47Well, testimonies that will surely be kept
10:51and that will bring a very sad memory of this.
10:55If one day they will have to settle down again
10:58and one day they will have to start doing things right, Luis.
11:01Because who ends up paying is these people.
11:03There is no doubt.
11:04It is not the time to discuss or do politics.
11:07You just told me, Cristina tweeted about the flood.
11:11Come on, I don't feel like it.
11:13During the weekend you spent it tweeting, hey, my law.
11:16It is not the time.
11:17I insist, it will be an analysis that we will do later.
11:20Now we have to give a hand to the people who are there
11:23so that they can return to their homes,
11:25so that they have basic, elementary services,
11:28so that they can, look, we are showing Racing,
11:31well, all the places where there are collections.
11:33We just saw Racing.
11:34Down there I see Constitution.
11:36Above the church of Cacupé in Caballito.
11:40We are going to focus on this.
11:42Then we are going to stop and analyze.
11:45What works were done, what works were not done.
11:47Before I bother you again, I bother Noemi.
11:51Noemi.
11:52Mimi, Andrioli.
11:56There may be a mess at night, right?
11:58Count me in.
