Dora Alicia Montoya accuses a doctor of causing her husband's fatal heart attack.
Montoya's husband, Arturo de la Cerda, went to a clinic to pick up medicine to lower his blood pressure. When the pharmacist told him there was none in stock, De la Cerda began arguing with the him and eventually suffered a major heart attack.
"I think the discussion with that man is what caused his death," said Montoya, who has yet to file formal charges. De la Cerda was a regular customer at the clinic.
Jaime Medellín, leader of the Federal Democratic Union of Public Workers, said this particular clinic has a history of medicine shortages, as well as suspending laboratory tests and surgeries.
"They have medicines for common thins like the cold or a stomachache or neck pain, but not for serious, life-threatening illnesses," said Medellín.
Montoya said that the case of her husband should show the clinic how to offer better services to those who visit it. Hopefully, this will be the last case of its kind.
