29 2004, the HSJD Chief of Surgery reported with regard to the request for a medical examiner’s report on Ms. Chinchilla that “there is no medical examiner to prepare the report.”264 96. On April 14, 2004, a socioeconomic report was submitted stating that Ms. Chinchilla had been suffering from diabetes for approximately 14 years and that “the disease had been kept under control at the Guatemalan Social Security Institute until the time of the legal proceedings in which is currently involved.” The report said that Ms. Chinchilla gets about in “a wheelchair, which will cause problems because of the place’s confined spaces” and “the patient's state of mind and depression are of grave concern.”265 97. The hearing was set for April 21, 2004. 266 On April 16, 2004, Ms. Chinchilla requested that Doctor Luisa Amelia Morán García, the COF duty doctor, be summoned to give evidence at the hearing. 267 The judge confirmed receipt of the brief on April 19, 2004 and instructed that a summons be sent to the doctor in question to submit a medical report.268 98. The evidence hearing was held on April 21, 2004. 269 99.

The Public Prosecution Service medical examiner said that Ms. Chinchilla's ailments “are not considered a terminal illness” and “she could be prescribed ambulatory medical treatment.” He said that “if the patient is not treated with drugs she tends to suffer complications that at some point could be lifethreatening” and that if she were to have a ketoacidosis crisis “she must receive medical treatment as quickly as possible.” He said that he was “not familiar with the facilities [of the COF] as regards health care and professional staff ... if a complication were to arise” and that he was “not familiar with the specific medical care that the patient ... from the prison ...
