According to INEGI, during 2021, 1,912,178 births were registered in Mexico.
The opinion of a TV Azteca driver about a pregnant woman with intrauterine death caused the anger of the doctors due to an unjustified accusation.
The Clinical Practice Guides contain all the indications that doctors must follow when caring for a patient.
Medicine is one of the most complex disciplines that exists and that is why so many years of training are required. Even after graduating from university, constant updating is necessary. For this reason, in order to give an opinion on sensitive issues such as pregnancy, it is necessary to do a little research to avoid making mistakes such as the one made by a TV Azteca host.
To begin with, the television station founded in 1993 remains one of the largest companies in Mexico. As part of its content, it has programs aimed at specific sectors of the population, although newscasts are among the stellar ones.
Among the journalists who are in charge of informing are Alejandro Villalvazowho is in charge of Meridian facts. Precisely as a preamble to one of his notes, he made a serious mistake that has not been forgiven by doctors and health professionals.
What happened?
Before going on the air, the TV Azteca host posted a video on the official accounts of the television station. He briefly talks about a case that occurred in a clinic in the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in Yucatan.
According to her testimony, a 30-year-old woman with an advanced pregnancy came to the hospital because she had abdominal pain. When doing an ultrasound it was detected that she the fetus had died. At that time, the doctors in charge admitted the woman and told her that she had to wait until the body expelled the product vaginally.
At this point in history is where the TV Azteca driver error was generated. In the video, he strongly criticizes the doctors by stating that the “correct” thing would have been to do a Caesarean section to end the physical and emotional pain of the woman.
In fact the title of your post is “Don’t be bastards; that is not done to anyone” and the communicator mentions that an investigation for alleged medical negligence is already open.

Now, from the moment the video was uploaded, it has had a poor reception from health professionals. Most assure that the journalist’s comment is based on his perception and not on what should really be done in this type of case.
Doctors respond to controversial video
Among those who responded to the TV Azteca driver is the doctor @EdgArielVelA, who shared what the Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG). To date, these are the most important documents that exist because they offer detailed indications about medical care.
For his part, he also a doctor @yourfavoritedoctor He published a video where he offers an explanation regarding what happened at the IMSS of Yucatán. Based on his knowledge, he mentions that a cesarean section is a procedure that is only recommended in specific cases but not in a intrauterine death.
Beyond the scar that it leaves for life, its biggest drawback is that it is a high-risk surgery that threatens women. In addition, it can also cause the uterus to be removed and the natural consequence is that the patient cannot become pregnant again.
#to take a video from @Azteca Noticias is not worth insulting the health union from the sensationalism and ignorance of a news reader #medico #Nursing #I respect
In the end, the biggest flaw of the TV Azteca host is that he did not seek advice from a health professional and only spoke without scientific support. And the worst thing was that in addition to misrepresenting the news, he also verbally assaulted all the doctors.
