The Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) will not appeal the sentence condemning the administration with the payment of 30,000 euros in compensation to the families of a patient who took more than six months to detect terminal lung cancer . According to sources close to the case reported to Cadena SER, the Canary Islands Health Service accepts and abides by the sentence handed down in the first instance and will not appeal to the Provincial Court of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The deceased patient went to the Adeje health center, in Tenerife, on more than 40 occasions and they did not detect anything. In the sentence, handed down by the Administrative Litigation Court Number 3 of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the authentic ordeal suffered by the patient during his last months of life is recounted.
It all started with a pain in the chest and a cough. The patient went to the Adeje Health Center. Despite the weight loss of more than 15 kilos, the family history, two of his immediate relatives had died from cancer and the excessive pain, he was not referred to the oncology service, neither on this nor on other occasions. In fact, the judge refers in the sentence, that the patient went 41 times to the Health Center in a period of 106 days, that is, an average of one consultation every two days, without being referred to a specialist
