Ecuador: Trial begins for two doctors for failure to treat timely in death of French citizen

Eluniverso.com reported that the trial began yesterday in Quito for two doctors accused of allegedly not providing emergency medical care to a French citizen in 2009. On September 12, 2009, Charlotte Mazoyer, a volcanologist, resisted a robbery attempt in Guápalo (Quito). She was shot in the chest which left her seriously wounded. According to witnesses, when Ms. Mazoyer entered Clinica Pichincha (also a defendant in the case), she was allegedly denied timely care for apparently not providing a credit card as a guarantee of payment. Subsequently she was provided services and had lost a total of 8 liters of blood. The Mazoyer family investigation claims their daughter entered the clinic at 20:10 and was not operated on until 22:00. One of the defense attorneys claims that the victim did receive timely and professional medical care. The trial is expected to last several days. Read Article
