'should be transferred to the CTI before have gone to an extreme gravity', questioned her friend, Lourdes Mozzone.

' Died in the hospital while they never take her to a bed of CTI. Why waited to they could no longer move it ', wonder-

'I'm not saying in the hand of the doctors have to be all solutions', he clarified, but pointed out that taking into account the situation of the patient, and his background--he was a woman immunosuppressed - the transfer was delayed more than account.? He recalled that the patient had entered the hospital four days before 'vomiting blood'. 'He was a person of high risk'

Mozzone noted that initially was told that there were no beds available in the TCI, but at the end it was decided to transfer, that not might be completed in time because the patient suffered a heart attack that ended in her death.

The director of the Hospital de Rocha, Sa?l Brener, is excused from making statements on this subject.
