The recording was broadcast by Noticias Caracol to show that the patient was seeking medical attention in the Western Clinic, and that he left there at dawn on Tuesday, March 23.

Nevertheless, Jose Elías Ramírez, 44 years old, collapses on a platform and dies suddenly, and several curious and uniformed police officers approach to verify what happened.

Relatives of the man complained on the news about a possible failure in the care protocol, and denounced that this would be a case of medical negligence.

“They let me die because of their negligence. He was the only man I had help from, and they let me die “, said Alison Rojas, sister of the deceased.

Another sister of the patient assured, in the newscast, that her relative “lasts almost three hours outside the Clínica de Occidente, and calls 123 to say that they were not treating him and that the service was very bad.”

The woman denounced that neither doctors nor security personnel approached to ask what was happening to her brother, that “he had a pain in his chest” and that he left the medical center to take a breath.
