the doctor Guillermo Bailat, 58, was the victim of serious injuries and threats.
As ReconquistaHOY was able to learn, following performing an ultrasound on a patient admitted to the Avellaneda Sanatorium, three of her relatives accessed the Diagnostic Imaging sector, where in what appears to be a planned attack, they kicked in the door, and while a lady was filming, two other relatives -men- kicked and punched her head, face and left intercostal area, where the computed tomography confirmed rib fracture. In addition to the bruises on her face and body, she has an eye bleed. They left him on the verge of losing consciousness, his lawyer revealed to Reconquista TODAY.
Dr. Gabriel Micheloud said that the criminal complaint has been filed and already has extensive video evidence, witnesses who work in the sanatorium, medical examinations carried out between Saturday and Sunday at the Samco de Avellaneda and at the Reconquista Hospital; and other evidence to sue the authors. He also anticipated that they will be plaintiffs in the case.
As ReconquistaHOY was able to find out, everything would have originated from an oversized reaction of the patient, who would have listened to the comment that the doctor made to the nurse in private, in the sense that it did not appear to be an emergency. They believe that the patient made an exaggerated account to her children, who violently entered the Diagnostic Imaging sector and carried out the serious injuries and the threat, frightening the professional as to what they would do to him when they catch him on public roads.
The reactions of the Regional Hospital of Reconquista, the Medical Association and SIPRUS:
once morest violence
From the Directorate of the Central Hospital of Reconquista, Olga Stucky de Rizzi, we express the strongest repudiation once morest all forms of violence and mistreatment, particularly on this occasion, once morest the aggression suffered by Dr. Guillermo Bailat.
We consider it necessary to make visible this problem, which is increasingly frequent in care centers and we ask the population to accompany the workers whose purpose is to attend and guarantee access to health.
Yesterday applauded today attacked: the statement of the medical union
The cases follow one another and the statistics increase.
The context does not matter, whether it is in the public or private sphere, whether there was prior discussion or not. We doctors must give bad news and life often depends on our study and criteria.
The doctors don’t want to stand guard.
There is no economic remuneration that compensates for the risk and sacrifice. They leave their families, postpone plans, there is no security or respect, as human beings, let alone as professionals.
The Medical Association strongly repudiates all types of violence.
We urge, we ask, we demand exemplary sentences!!
We stand in solidarity with Dr. Guillermo Bailat, victim of a premeditated and conscious act of hooliganism that left physical scars, but worse still, they leave traces of behavior, commitment and dedication to our neighbor.
From the Medical Association we offer you all the support of our legal department, such as the psychological one, and we open the doors of our sanatoriums and medical services in order to put an end to this vile aggression suffered.
We ask for justice.
We demand respect.
An anecdotal fact: the doctor who verified the injuries of his colleague, at the Samco de Avellaneda, is Dr. Carlos Kwas, he is the same as at 08:15 am on Saturday, December 3, 2022, “Doctor’s Day”, denounced that they were admitted to Samco four people transferring a deceased man (Bernardo Domingo Ojeda). They placed him on the stretcher, where he performed CPR, which did not achieve the desired result. When he told who would be his wife, another of the relatives, without saying a word, surprised him with a fist in the left maxillary area, for which he fell unconscious to the floor, where he was assisted by the nurse Angie Stechina.
Dr. Kwas filed the corresponding criminal action, and the Public Prosecutor’s Office, through prosecutor Leandro Mai, accused Gaston Miguel Angel Ojeda, 25, domiciled in Avellaneda, the crime of Intentional Minor Injuries, as perpetrator, according to articles 45 and 89 of the Penal Code.
With the victim’s complaint, the certificate of verified injuries, witness interview and other evidence collected, it was found that Ojeda intentionally proceeded to punch the doctor on duty Carlos Leonel Kwas with his fist in the jaw, leaving him unconscious and fainted. on the floor, having to be assisted by the nurse who was working in the same place, causing him injuries, which were verified in the region of the left maxilla, said the representative of the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the imputational hearing held on December 7. December 2022, at the Public Prosecutor’s Office, located in the Reconquista court building.
We value doctors
we value all the good they do!
We need them well, with all the energy.
Forces!
We cannot stop expressing from ReconquistaHOY, that we regret and repudiate the aggression suffered by Dr. Bailat.
