A child died at his home in La Plata in the middle of an alleged gastroenteritis picture and his family denounces that it was a case of malpractice. The 12-year-old boy died this Monday at his home in Tolosa after feeling bad and having gone to two hospitals, for which his parents set their sights on the hospitals and asked for a response from the authorities.
As recounted 0221.com.ar, It is about an adolescent with Down syndrome who presented discomfort, was taken twice to the hospital and died hours later in his home of 121 between 521 and 522, for which the researchers are trying to determine the causes of death. Faced with this situation, his relatives pointed against medical care.
As they specified, in the first instance they went to the Gutiérrez hospital, where He was checked up, given dehydration medication and sent home again. “They asked me how I vomited. They gave me some salts and told me to give him some water, which was surely something he had eaten”his mom pointed out.
However, the baby continued to get worse and they decided to go to the Children’s Hospital, where he was evaluated and diagnosed with gastroenteritis. “The tummy pain continued. The baby turned pale and the vomit was black”he added. In this context, they indicated a treatment to follow, they told him to take care of himself with food and they returned him to his house. In this way, the family returned to the house and lay down to sleep. Despite the fact that the situation did not seem to represent a danger, at 10:30 a.m. the woman realized that her son had no vital signs and called the Police, who ended up confirming his death shortly after.
“They gave him medication for dehydration. When I woke up, I found him like this. We went to the hospital to make him better. I can’t believe this,” added his mother in dialogue with The day, and added: “I saw it badly and I did not want to leave the hospital. But they told me it was due to dehydration, they sent me home and this happened.” Faced with this situation, the minor’s parents filed a complaint and are now asking the hospitals for explanations for not having treated their son as they should. “I want them to take charge and tell me why they gave me this remedy”completed the woman.
