"This admission could have been avoided," said the man, who blamed the deputy director of the hospital for not taking a measure in time to prevent reaching this point.

The reason for this hospitalization is that the bedsore that Léster Domínguez developed while he was in therapy became infected, and at home they did not have the resources to properly cure him.

According to the patient's father, the directive told him that only in serious cases could he remain in the hospital and indicated a treatment with Cefixime to combat staphylococcus, which was insufficient.
