An incredible case in Mexico!
Camila with her mom Mary Jane
It all started with abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. With these ailments, little Camila Roxana Martinez Mendoza was admitted to the Salinas de Hidalgo Basic Community Hospital in central Mexico, El Universal newspaper reported.
During the examination in the hospital
Doctors placed a cold towel over her petite body to bring down the fever and monitored her oxygen levels. Then Camila was released with a prescription for acetaminophen.
However, her condition worsened. Another doctor instructed her mother, Mary Jane Mendoza, to give her daughter water and fruit, and prescribed a different medication. But Camila's condition continued to deteriorate; she was still vomiting. Finally, another doctor suggested taking her to an emergency room.
So in the evening, the little girl was admitted to the Salinas Hospital in the evening. She was given an IV, which the newspaper said was removed ten minutes later. She was still hugging her mother in her small arms while the doctors told her to let her rest in peace now.
Then her mother had to go to a separate room and could no longer see her daughter. A little later, the three-year-old was pronounced dead from dehydration.
But the horror got even worse! When the funeral took place the next day, the little one was in a coffin with a glass window. And that fogged up - Camila was still breathing! Then, finally, her grandmother noticed her granddaughter moving her eyes and saw a pulse.
This is where the little one is buried.
Camila was taken back to Salinas by ambulance, where doctors tried unsuccessfully to revive her and again pronounced her dead - this time from cerebral edema (swelling of the brain).
An autopsy should now determine what the little one really died off. Yet, despite this horror, the mother bears no grudge against the hospital.
"What I really want is for justice to be done. All I ask is that the doctors, nurses, and directors be changed, so it doesn't happen again."
