Alejandro 'N', 67 years old, passed away in a little more than two hours after being rejected at the Aut?dromo Hermanos Rodr?guez hospital, enabled by the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) for the care of people with respiratory problems related to covid-19, despite having a diagnosis of atypical pneumonia and a symptom picture consistent with the coronavirus.
At 11:44 yesterday, his sons Iv?n and Leonardo arrived at gate 6 of the Ciudad Deportiva Magdalena Mixhuca, access designated by the institute for the admission of patients and families; however, the surveillance staff indicated that in order to enter his father, he had to be referred by another hospital or arrive by ambulance.
At that time, Alejandro was in the back of the car in which he was transported, lying down and with so much difficulty in breathing that his effort could be heard from yards away, like a light whistle, accompanied by a complaint.
The brothers attended the recommendation to transfer him to the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases (Iner), located in the hospital area in Tlalpan. At 12:20 pm, 36 minutes after his entry into the race track was rejected, the man entered the Emergency Department, where his condition was assessed and it was determined to hospitalize him.
However, shortly before 2:00 PM, Alejandro lost the battle: a sudden respiratory arrest ended in the hope of his family that he would recover. The previous diagnosis was atypical pneumonia, without being able to confirm or rule out that it was positive for covid-19.
"He had always been strong," says Ivan minutes after his father's death. Alejandro left in five days, the symptoms began last Sunday: headache, shortness of breath, fever, which worsened as the days passed until this Friday, when his shortness of breath and the bruising of his hands and lips raised the alert.
Although his children admit that he arrived in critical conditions, the question is not missing: what would have happened if they had treated him at the first hospital? If those 36 minutes of time lost from one hospital to another had been spent on his dad's attention?
"I am aware that my father was a little delicate and if, we were afraid of that, then right now to throw him ...", Ivan points out after notifying the death of his father to his brother who, excited by the entrance of his father to the Iner , I expected good news.
At the time that Alejandro's children are assimilating the death of their father, with an oxygen tank in hand, Jacob Salazar, 55, enters the hospital. His relatives seek to intern him, but he is rejected. Same diagnosis, atypical pneumonia; However, his symptoms began since April 20 and have been increasing.
"We are going to start, it is the first hospital, we bring him with pneumonia, hopefully they will receive it for me. He has been like this since April 20, they have not done any tests, he has been at home with the measures they have said, But it started getting worse four days ago, we went to a private person and he tells us that it is necessary to hospitalize him, "says his niece Claudia Tlapal.
