68. On December 7, 2001, Mrs. Chinchilla was taken to the emergency room of the HSJD and “hospitalized because of the seriousness of her condition.”100 She remained there until February 15, 2002, with “necrosis on the sole and second and fifth toes of her right foot as well as a subcapital fracture of the right humerus.” “The affected area was cleaned and surgically debrided on two occasions.” She also presented necrosis on the fifth toe of her right foot, which was amputated, while the sole of the foot was cleaned and debrided. The “fracture was treated by simply immobilizing it.”101 vi. 2002 69. On February 19, 2002, the judge gave approval for Mrs. Chinchilla to attend a medical appointment on February 22. On February 25, Mrs. Chinchilla requested authorization to go to a medical appointment at the HSJD on March 1, saying that, “because of her very severe illness she has to attend that clinic weekly on Fridays.” The social worker reported that Mrs. Chinchilla “is not registered in the appointments book for Friday of every week.” On March 1, 2002, the judge refused permission and on March 4 wrote to the COF advising that “in future all requests […] must be submitted with sufficient notice so that the social worker can verify the request.”102 70. On March 15, 2002, Mrs. Chinchilla was taken to hospital in an emergency after the Center’s doctor examined her and found that she “presented a change of color in her left foot and fibrin accumulation with a very bad odor, leading to the amputation of her little toe.”103 71. On March 18, 2002, the judge was asked to authorize medical appointments for Mrs. Chinchilla on March 22 and 27, and April 5, 12, 19 and 26.

Her report also stated that on the doctor’s indication the wounds needed constant cleaning. On March 25, the judge gave approval for Mrs. Chinchilla to attend the verified appointments. 104 Enforcement Court to the social worker, dated November 29, 2001; Communication from the social worker to the Second Criminal Enforcement Court of December 4, 2001 (evidence file, folios 493 to 512).
