The patient Ramón Samudio, who entered the operating room on Saturday, with an authorization signed by his family, for the amputation of his right leg. However, the doctors cut off his left limb.

The patient’s daughter realized the error on Sunday morning, when she went in to see the man. No one informed the family about it, however, after the claim made that Sunday, when they were told to come back on Monday, because that day everything was closed, they belatedly responded the day before yesterday, that during the procedure they realized that the left leg was the most affected.

The IPS alleged that there was no mistake and that the only fault was not having informed the family about the “change of plans.” They recognized that the studies indicated the amputation of the right.
