The family took Leidy to the Arzobispo Loayza hospital and he died following spending regarding three months in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Her family demands justice and that the doctors involved face the tax consequences.
“I demand that the authorities force these doctors from this clinic, who are Dr. Erek Espinoza Maldonado and Dr. Caleb Mendoza, to show their faces, they have not delivered the medical history that I have requested from them notarized,” Paola told RPP Noticias.
“I ask that both the prosecution and the judge speak out. Not only them, but also from the dental school, that they sanction them and take action on the matter. It is not fair that my sister has passed all this through a procedure, “added the victim’s sister.
According to Paola, she issued a notarized letter to access the medical part of the clinic, but since then the doctors have disappeared. Despite this, she calls for justice to be done for Leidy’s death.
