A tucuman suffered a heart attack in Chile and needs a medical plane to be operated in Argentina

Sunday afternoon, Argentine Maximiliano Conca, 40, was driving a rental car during his vacation with his girlfriend Jorgelina in Viña del Mar, Chile. He only had two days left in the neighboring country and still wanted to know some sights of the region. During his trip, the architect began to feel deep chest pain, cold and began to sweat. A few seconds pbaded until the man He decompensated and crushed the car in which they moved.

Conca had an acute myocardial infarction, which forced her to immediately refer her to a nearby health center. He was admitted to the Naval Hospital of the private hospital where he was operated and managed to keep him alive.

In just three days, the family spent nearly 650,000 pesos for interventions and treatments. The problem is that Argentina has to undergo a new surgery, valued at around $ 5 million, impossible to face for your loved ones. That's why the Conca family urgently needs Maximiliano's transfer in a medical plane so that the country's recovery can continue.

"We are desperate, the last thing we had was the authorization of the government of Tucumán. They told us that the province's health plane is at our disposal", said Agustina Conca, sister of the Argentine boarding school, Infobae in a telephone conversation.

"Now, from the Tucuman government they told us that The only thing missing from the plane to leave the country is an authorization from the president. We are waiting for that, "he added.

The news of the health incident did not surprise the family. Maximiliano had already suffered a heart attack two years ago. As a result, he took care of himself with food and habits.

On the same day of the accident, the mother and one of the four brothers of the family traveled to Viña del Mar to accompany the architect, who was fighting for his life.

"When he arrived at the clinic, they went straight to the operating room. The doctors discovered that he had a completely blocked artery and that he had to be released. They put a stent and managed to stabilize it, "said his sister Agustina.

"The problem is that Monday the problem is complicated because it was starting to suffer from a strong arrhythmia because they could only reopen 48 hours after the other operation, The presumptive diagnosis is that myocardial injury always generates complications. Therefore, a new operation is necessary, "he explained.

The family tried to transfer Maximiliano from the Naval Hospital, which is a private clinic, to a public hospital in Chile. But, according to Agustina, laws in force in the trans-Andean country forbid sending a cardiac patient from a private clinic to a public hospital. In addition, the coronary units of the free health centers in the region were complete.

"We can not pay more money for the treatment. Every day that pbades, tens of thousands of pesos have to be paid. And in addition, you must perform a new operation. For this reason, we hope that the medical plane can be unlocked and that my brother can come to the country as soon as possible. "
