 elmundo.es - El Colegio de Médicos defiende la sedación paliativa aplicada en el hospital Severo Ochoa de Leganés
MADRID.- La sedación paliativa suministrada a pacientes oncológicos terminales en las urgencias del hospital Severo Ochoa de Leganés fue avalada por un comité de ética para proporcionar una muerte digna a enfermos con dolores extremos y ahogos y una esperanza de vida inferior a cuatro días, según el Colegio de Médicos de Madrid.
La Consejería ha relevado temporalmente al jefe de urgencias del Severo Ochoa, Luis Montes, tras recibir denuncias anónimas sobre "una supuesta mala praxis en la administración de fármacos", de las que ha remitido copia a la fiscalía.
Respecto a que el número de fallecimientos registrados en las urgencias del Severo Ochoa sea más elevado que el de otras urgencias hospitalarias, Casares señaló que no conoce las estadísticas, pero subrayó que hay que tener en cuenta que en otros hospitales esas mismas muertes se producen en las unidades de cuidados paliativos.

 Severo Ochoa: La conquista de un Nobel (2001) (TV)
From such backgrounds, it was, obviously, but a short step to the making of this biographical film on the life of the scientist Severo Ochoa (1905 Luarca, Asturias, Spain), one of many intellectuals who had to flee Spain during and following the Civil War.
Although obviously much effort was made into producing this documentary film, it never managed to get beyond being merely a historical retrospective as it followed the man's life from his childhood in Asturias, university life in Madrid, and the investigations he carried out in Heidelberg, Glasgow, New York, and finally receiving the Nobel Prize.
Over three hours long this film for TV will undoubtedly be a bit tedious, except for those with a specific great interest in the subject matter.
