Family Alleges Missed Stroke After Neuquén Man Dies Following Two Discharges

Relatives are preparing a malpractice case over what they say was a failure to recognize a stroke.

Overview

  • Jonathan Dayán Monsalve, 40, first sought care at the Parque Industrial health post for severe headache, dizziness and vomiting, where he was checked and sent home, according to his family.
  • He later went to Hospital Provincial Castro Rendón, received fluids and basic tests, was told it was a muscle contracture and discharged, relatives say.
  • His condition worsened Tuesday; after an ambulance transfer—where the family says he was repeatedly asked about alcohol or drugs—he was admitted to the hospital’s red zone with a severe stroke, intubated, and died Wednesday.
  • His mother, Liliana Cid, says he had no prior hospitalizations and vows to seek justice, with the family preparing legal action against the hospital and the local health post.
  • The hospital told local media there is no official response at this time, and no independent medical records or investigation findings have been released.
