Ehe family lawyer, Michel Rischmann, He recounted in LU19 how the facts were. “The surgeon was the one who warned that the woman was in cardiac arrest because of the color of her skin.. Since the strike occurred until they realize it, seven or more minutes have passed. That time produced irreversible brain damage,” he remarked.
“According to reports, the problem arose when she was given anesthesia due to the doctor’s lack of control, who had to control her until she woke up from the anesthesia. He was not there, he left the operating room. This was stated by other members of the medical team. It’s a terrible situatione,” Rischmann said.
A hearing was held on Friday where the anesthesiologist was notified of the charges. “Today he is the only defendant in the case but we seek to gather information to expand the formulation of charges to other doctors who intervened in the surgery,” Richman explained.
