The Dr Lorenzo Poliner had demanded in 2000, two years after the president of the department of presbyterian of the internal medicine demanded that he voluntarily stops making of cateterizaciones or the completion cardiac of the face.

The jury agreed that the hospital and the three doctors were forced in several arguments, including the opening of the contract, the defamation, interference with contractual relations and the intentional imposition of the signal of emotional aid, said Char it Aldous, one of lawyers of the Dr Poliner.
