On December 29, 1998, the COF doctor asked the prison’s Deputy Director to arrange for Mrs. Chinchilla to be assessed by the medical examiner, as she was a patient with a history of diabetes, was “refusing to be examined by the prison doctors” and was reportedly not taking her medicine or following her diet; therefore she was “requesting the intervention of the [examiner], to avoid complications.” In another official letter on the same date, the same COF doctor reported that Mrs. Chinchilla “is refusing treatment offered by the medical staff at this Center and is asking to go to hospital, making threats and holding us responsible if anything happens.” She reported that “according to officials and fellow inmates,” Mrs. Chinchilla “has not taken her medicine (hypoglycemic agents) and is off her diet, consuming sugars, soft drinks, etc., purely for the sake of getting to the [General] Hospital.” 81 She also mentioned that “a request [was] made to the hospital’s Medical Records [department] for a report on her medical file, on the 17th of the month, but they replied that no medical file appears in that record.” 82 Cf.

On March 5, 1998, the Judge asked the Forensic Medicine Service to conduct a medical re-examination of Mrs. Chinchilla “to confirm the disease she claims to suffer and thereby ascertain if she needs to go to a hospital or if she can be treated at the Center.” On March 25, 1998, the Judge sent Mrs. Chinchilla’s carnet of appointments to the Director of the COF, pointing out that “the appointments she had for March 12 of this year are time-barred.” On March 26, 1998, the Judge asked the COF to inform Mrs. Chinchilla that she could “apply for an appointment at the San Juan de Dios General Hospital.” Cf.
