LYDIA GARRIDO - Valencia - 02/01/2010
He was 28. Joined in mid-July in the Hospital 9 d'Octubre in Valencia with a fever of almost 40 degrees. He had just returned from Italy. At that time, the influenza A health alert was living at the height of attempting to control the epidemic. The girl's family insisted from the first day that he have the test. The answer was no. The hospital did not even have time to do items. It was the family that got the kit and the La Fe Hospital which confirmed the positive influenza A. But it was too late, the patient was in coma and not likely to overcome the serious clinical condition that ended his life.
Investigating Court number 8 from Valencia has understood that this story and accompanying documents are robust enough to initiate an investigation for an alleged offense. The complaint was upheld by the court, in an order served on 22 December, is directed against the director of 9 d'Octubre and four doctors. The judge decides that the facts of the complaint "have features which presume the existence of a criminal offense."
On 14 July 2009, the couple attended the emergency of 9 d'Octubre 39.5 degree fever. He was diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia, but no test was performed for detection of H1N1 virus. It appears from the complaint that "despite the symptoms of influenza A viruses, social alarm and health warnings, there were no tests, only to determine whether they were legionella. One day after admission, was sent to plant, 24 hours later was in the ICU. On July 17 the girl was piped. On 18, the family insists on the test of influenza A. One day later, the patient is in an induced coma. The family themselves were made with a kit, got the 9 d'0ctubre did the test and service microbiology Faith reported on 21 July, seven days after admission, the influenza A positive Too late. She died on 10 August.
The family lawyer, Manuel Mata, believes "there is neglect and omission of elementary tests, these acts constitute serious professional imprudence. The petition asserts that he could commit a homicide by imprudence.
