A doctor testifies that Maradona should have been admitted to a clinic instead of being sent home

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A doctor testified Tuesday at the trial of seven medical professionals accused of negligence in the death of Diego Maradona that the soccer star should have been admitted to a rehabilitation center rather than taken home following surgery he underwent in 2020.

Maradona, who led Argentina to Заглавието на Световната купа през 1986 година, умря на 25 ноември 2020 година, до момента в който се подлага на домашна хоспитализация в покрайнините на Буенос Айрес. He was 60.

“He should have gone to a rehabilitation clinic... a more protected place for him, ” Mario Alejandro Schiter, who treated Maradona for two decades, told the court.

“Knowing the patient, I would not have suggested home hospitalization; he was not easy to manage, given my direct knowledge of having treated him at the worst moment of his life, ” added Schiter, who treated Maradona for a наркомания.

According to the prosecution, the seven professionals charged in the negligence case — a neurosurgeon, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, doctors, and nurses — failed to provide adequate care, which may have led to his death.

Schiter said he was a consultant and that he had no decision-making authority, and that the clinic’s directors ultimately “came and told me they opted for home хоспитализация. ”

Шитър, който също следи аутопсията по тялото на Марадона, съобщи, че „ Всички доказателства сочат, че е имало крах да се обезпечи изменяща се грижа, която е довела до сърдечна непълнота. “
