After six months of investigation Justice decided to file the complaint for malpractice which, in May of this year, the family made by Agustina Guzmán, the 26-year-old girl who died at the Cipolletti Model Polyclinic by an advanced cancer in his stomach area, which was not diagnosed at the Las Grutas hospital.

As reported From the prosecutor’s office headed by Guillermo González Sacco, everything would have been resolved in the preliminary investigation.

The thing is that throughout this investigation no evidence emerged to determine the existence of “recklessness, negligence, incompetence or failure to observe medical practices.” Whereby They consider that there are no signs of malpractice, either on the part of the doctors who treated her or the institutions that Agustina consulted.

To evaluate this The prosecutor relied on the analysis carried out by the forensic medical team, to whom the woman’s medical records were sent, within the range that goes from March 2011 until his death, which occurred in May of this year.

At the request of González Sacco Medical records were provided by the Violeta Villalobos Hospital in Las Grutas, the Private Polyclinic of San Antonio Oeste and the Model Polyclinic in Cipolletti. That was the last entity that Guzmán went to. She traveled there from the spa, suffering from severe abdominal pain, for which, according to her relatives, she did not have an accurate diagnosis from the Grutense hospital.

Added to this were the exchanges of conversations with their families.in which the girl talked about her medical path. And the certificates presented in your work (the La Anónima de Las Grutas supermarket, where she worked as a cashier) that gave an account of the days in which she was unable to work due to her stomach condition.

The forensic medical team recorded that from the analysis of Guzmán’s medical records it emerged that “there were consultations for digestive symptoms since his adolescence. She was assisted (over time) by multiple emergency services professionals.” They considered that Obtaining a diagnosis “was made difficult by receiving outpatient care in emergency services.”«. They also specified that, given the discovery of “a very aggressive type of cancer,” the medical care “was adequate.” AND They concluded that “there is not enough data” to infer “recklessness, negligence, incompetence or non-compliance with medical practices,” which “can determine that malpractice existed.”

The family will ask that the case not be archived

Upon receipt of the news The young woman’s family was dismayed.

“It can’t be that they didn’t realize how bad Agustina was.”. She had to travel to Cipolletti by her own means, because He felt worse and worse and they did not give him a diagnosis. And when she arrived there, she was hospitalized and then she died, after a series of studies and an emergency operation.” said Luciana, his sister.

“Our lawyer is going to work so that this case is not archived. We already lost Agustina, but we want this to never happen to anyone again,” she said, saddened.
