At the request of the judge, the medical examiner offered an opinion stating that Mrs. Chinchilla presented “[…] symptoms of terminal illness, with problems in her lower limbs.”156 For his part, the duty doctor at the COF said that she was a patient who was “depressive, rebellious and in poor general health” and that “her physical condition [was] in marked decline as a result of her diabetes mellitus, and she had limited mobility because of the amputation of her lower right limb.” 157 For its part, the report of the Public Prosecution Service Medical Examiner stated that she was in “a stable and controlled condition” and “[…] she can continue her current treatment” at the COF, “provided that she is supplied with her medications and is regularly assessed by the institution’s doctor and the external consultant.”158 110.
