“The pressure of the same school often puts us to the limit emotionally, I have been receiving psychiatric care and psychological care for a year, largely in part due to the stress and pressure exerted by the race,” Samuel Ojeda Flores, who is in his tenth and final semester, told El Sol de Zacatecas.
Samuel was a friend of Diego Emiliano whom he had known since the induction courses in Human Medicine, however, Diego was a semester behind because he failed the anatomy subject which, along with pediatrics, are the most complicated.
“Pediatrics is the one that causes us many emotional problems due to exhausting stresswas the one that took me to therapy and even to take medication, “commented Samuel, recalling that Diego Emiliano was studying this subject until a few days ago.

An eighth semester student who asked to remain anonymous, and who said he was friend of Diego Emiliano, He considers that in addition to the personal problems he was experiencing, “the school did have something to do with it” in his deathbecause “coming to receive insults does not help much.”
Harassment, humiliation and mistreatment
He mentioned that He has seen “cases of academic harassment, sexual harassment” that is very difficult to overcome. In this regard, he added: “What is most surprising is that the authorities turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing is happening.”
Guadalupe is a Health Sciences student and is currently going “in the middle of my degree”. In an interview she states that “There are many teachers who should not even be called teachers” and that “no matter how many complaints there are, nothing is done about it.”
In this regard, he added:We hope that the University does something (…) that they care about the mental health of their students and by how the teachers or professors who are in charge of the careers treat the students”, he commented.

Diego is another student, who claims to have a different sexual orientation: “It is a very denigrating situation for people who have a different sexual orientationsince we entered it is an incredible disrespect of the doctors and the doctors ”.
He added that “It is ugly from the beginning to be subjected to insults and humiliation in front of the whole group, but you can’t really do much because you know that they are not going to do anything, they warn you that you better not complain, because they are not going to do anything”.
Another seventh-semester Human Medicine student, who asked to remain anonymous, told this outlet that there are subjects, also known as “filters” in which there is a lot of pressuremainly anatomy, right at the beginning of the career, and pediatrics, in the last two semesters.
unofficially These subjects are called “filters” because the demand and pressure cause many students to drop out.
Outrage on social media
Dozens of comments and complaints against teachers and university authorities were published on social networks during the afternoon of this Wednesday.
Student statements and relatives of students, were in response to a message posted on the Facebook profile called Student Human Medicine.
“On May 16 of the current year, an accident occurred for the Human Medicine students of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas, one of our 9th semester classmates took his own life, his name is Diego Emiliano Gutiérrez Ríos, a classmate loved by your whole group.”
The text states that this is the second time that this has happened in this Academic Unit “There is something in common: the lack of humanity and empathy on the part of the teachers, not only those who teach the subjects, but also the directors of our career, who are unable to see and seek their students.”
