An incredible story, which shocked public opinion in Mexico , casting heavy shadows on the health of the American country, in particular that of the State of San Luis Potosì.
Here a three-year-old girl, declared dead by doctors, gave signs of life while in the coffin of her funeral, only to die while being transferred to the hospital .
Now the local authorities have launched investigations to ascertain the responsibilities of the doctors who visited the little girl, Camila Roxana Martínez , when her parents tried to treat her.
Mary Jane Peralta , the child's mother, said she took her daughter to a pediatrician in the municipality of Villa de Ramos after the child began to feel ill. The doctor recommended that the parents transfer her to the emergency room for treatment, as she presented a picture of dehydration . The little girl was then taken to the community base hospital in Salinas de Hidalgo, but an hour later, the doctors discharged her. However, seeing no improvement in their daughter, the parents decided to take Camila back to the community hospital. Here her condition plummeted and she was pronounced dead. The certificate listed acute diarrhea, severe dehydration, and hypovolemic shock as causes of death .
Then the ok at the funeral. During the ceremony, however, the terrible discovery: the mother and other relatives noticed that the little girl was moving her eyes and that the glass of the coffin was misting up, so they called a nurse who confirmed the presence of vital signs. After being called for help, the little girl was loaded into an ambulance, but died during the ambulance journey to the hospital .
The second death certificate states that the death was due to "brain edema, metabolic failure and dehydration" .
A story, as mentioned, shocking and absurd.
