On Sunday afternoon, when he was with his cousin and his aunt enjoying the outdoors in Parque Saavedra, a 13-year-old boy had an accident with one of the concrete benches and ended up in the hospital. “I want to make it public because this could have been more serious”denounced Eugeniahis mother, in dialogue with 0221.com.ar.
Juan Martin spent the afternoon in the area with benches and tables very close to the lake in the park and, at one point, when they wanted to accommodate one of the concrete benches that was unstable, so they could sit down, it slipped from its support and landed squarely on its right foot. The blow was so strong that the structure bounced and at that moment he was able to move to avoid that the leg was immobilized under the gray stone.
“It was on Sunday between 5 and 6 p.m. He called me around 6:30 p.m. and said ‘mom, I don’t want you to be scared but I’ll tell you’ and he detailed how everything went,” the woman told 0221.com.ar. And in that line the mother added: “It was a very strong blow, they had to give him a stitch and he has a big wound. He was lucky not to have a fracture. Now he is on rest for two weeks, they gave him antibiotics, he is with ibuprofen because it’s sore. I didn’t go to file the complaint because I didn’t know if they were going to take it at a police station.”
“I want to make it public because this could have been more serious and a tragedy could have happened. This is a trauma for him, it was a bad time, he could be enjoying his vacations and now he has to be resting. At 2 weeks, when They take out the stitches, I’m going to have to find and do it in a small room because they don’t do that at the Children’s Hospital”also counted.
The woman said that at the time of the incident he went to his aunt’s and about 15 minutes later she picked him up to take him to the Children’s Hospital. There she had to wait a long time because the room was packed, even in a context of tension between several patients, doctors and security personnel. “The situation was chaos, with a lot of people since the afternoon, it was collapsed and we had to wait a long time,” she closed.
Juan Martín is now resting at home waiting for the inflammation and pain to subside. In 2 weeks, if nothing bad happens, he can finally have the stitches removed and he can start walking normally once more.
