German jungle He died on September 3, 2024 at the age of 80 as a result of an acute heart attack in the Zabala Clinic. One year and three months after his death, Arturo Puig, His partner of more than 50 years expressed great sadness and made a surprising revelation about his wife’s final moments and the medical care she received.
The actor spoke publicly for the first time about a sensitive situation and an alleged incident Mistake that the first doctor who treated Alemán would have made the day he collapsed.
“She was great too…Selva was careful and strict in an almost enormous way. She had cardiac arrhythmias but was treated with medication,” he said at the beginning.
Then he expressed his suspicions: “I will be very honest with you.” I think there was a mistake on the part of the first doctor who came to see what was happening to her…”
And he justified his position: “A heart attack in women is caused like in the stomach, a pain; in men it is usually in the arm. Then Selva said: ‘Oh, I have a stomach ache, I have a stomach ache’, we assumed that it was something wrong with her. A foreign doctor came, examined her, did an examination, printed on her. ‘No, no, it’s fine,’ he said, ‘there is no problem.'”
Then he remembered, his voice broken: “And now, after a while, Selva leaned back a little and said to me, ‘Oh, it hurts more and more, more and more’. Always the stomach, never the chest. I called the ambulance, the ambulance came and that’s when the guy told me, ‘It’s a heart attack.’ Cardiology. I flew. But obviously you’ve seen these doctors… They take your blood pressure and tell you, ‘You’re fine.'”
When asked whether this was a case of “misconduct” related to the alleged recklessness or incompetence of the professional who first treated Selva, the actor was cautious and revealed that he thought about taking legal action but quickly gave up. “I don’t know, they would have to, I don’t know, do… Look for something, I don’t know. No, not really. That’s it,” said Puig in dialogue with Karim González for the cycle Alone in the Bars (Open Connection).
“That’s exactly what was terrible, that it was so sudden and so unexpected. I, did you see that? I think I’m going out on the street to, I don’t know, do something, to pick up the dog, and I think that she will be waiting for me. It’s a day after day and hour after hour. One hour you’re fine, another hour you’re falling, the day is bad, the next… and that’s how you live,” he concluded, visibly distressed.
