Kaban ni D_BystandeR: KINABUHI MAKALAS KON MANANAMBAL MASIPYAT???
I have
read the first news account of the death of his wife in another local daily
where it was mostly described in minutest detail by the 2 reporters concerned.
I would sometimes feel sad about the
senseless loss of life of a young mother, Jocelyn, 40, who has two young
children:the girl -11, the boy - 8. If only her husband, Cesar Coliflores, was
around that fateful day, I'm sure she will not die that night because the
husband can ask the doctors to stop all the madness upon seeing that his wife
was being subjected to the massive application of all kind of medicine, as if they
were racing against time "to kill" her wife the fastest way possible!
I don't know if the husband's earnest desire to seek justice for the death of
his wife will succeed because it needs the necessary "logistics" and
credible people to undertake that crusade to fight to obtain justice for his
wife's death. But in the States, where I have been living now for the past 14
years as permanent immigrant and now becoming a US citizen, I have come across
of many cases where the family was
awarded by the court huge financial windfall as damages for the wrongful death of
a patient. I just hope the husband in this case will get the legal assistance
from the NBI for I have noted that in the past, those who lost hope that they
will get help to find justice from other government agencies have successfully
managed to win their case with the help of the NBI whose personnel,consisting of some dedicated
lawyers, are seen doing their task seriously and they do not want any
"monkey business."
