16 US$ 120); the first session costing £250 (equivalent approximately to US$ 400). 52 In addition to this individual therapy, his case would also require family therapy, with the same frequency and associated costs of the individual therapy. 53 55. As for his back, for a number of years Mr. García Lucero has been receiving neuropathic pain relief in a London hospital, which uses a machine that emits varying strengths of electrical pulses; every session with the machine provides him pain relief lasting for 5 to 7 days on each application. 54 The hospital told the petitioners that Mr. García Lucero would be an ideal candidate to use this service at home for self-administration; but that the British health system –i.e. the National Health Services (NHS)- could not cover the costs involved, which would be around £500 (approximately US$ 800). 55 An estimate obtained by the petitioners indicates that the treatment would cost between £1,059.73 and £1,056.91 (which would be approximately US$ 1,695). 56 56. A psychiatric evaluation was also done of Mr. García Lucero’s wife, Mrs. Elena García. As to the medical history, during her husband’s detention, Mrs. Elena García experienced heavy stress and suffered gastric hemorrhaging, for which she had to be hospitalized and receive a blood transfusion. This was attributed to the stress she endured fearing that her husband would be killed while he was being held. 57 Mrs. García does not suffer from psychiatric conditions. Nevertheless, she says that on the day she arrived in the United Kingdom in 1975, she suffered an Adjustment Disorder, characterized by the psychological difficulty to cope having to leave her mother, brother, cousins and friends in Chile and arriving in a country where she neither spoke the language nor understood the culture. 58 She still resents Mr. García Lucero for not allowing her to see her mother when she was on her deathbed, because he was fearful of returning to Chile. 59 When she lived in Chile, she had a good job, but was never able to find employment in the United Kingdom, in part because she had to care for her husband. She says that she does not feel she 52 Annex 18. Communication from Dr. Nuria Gené-Cos, “Addendum to report written 11th December 2007”, dated October 5, 2008.
