Óscar llegó a la clínica privada  con la muerte pisándole los talones. Llegó con los minutos contados. Llegó solo y mortalmente herido. A Óscar lo asaltó un muchacho con apenas quine años y una navaja enorme. Óscar  salvó la cartera, y recibió a cambio una puñalada, una herida  por donde se le va la vida. 

A pesar de su palidez, de la sangre perdida, del reflejo de la muerte en sus ojos apagados, en la clínica le exigen las garantías de rigor para aceptarlo como paciente y Óscar, sin tiempo para molestarse, mostró su tarjeta de Seguros Nuevo Mundo. Comprobaron la validez de sus documentos y la cobertura de su seguro antes de ingresarlo al quirófano para una operación de emergencia. A los tres días, Óscar había superado la muerte. El Seguro Nuevo Mundo y la  esmerada atención médica le salvaron la vida, pero se quedó sin cobertura, el seguro ya no cubría un día más en la Clínica, su tarjeta de crédito no contaba con suficiente respaldo y lo trasladaron a la Asistencia Pública para cuidados menores.

A los tres días de haber ingresado al Hospital San Juan de Dios, Óscar murió a causa de una agresiva bacteria que se coló en sus heridas en un cambio rutinario de sus vendas.

Oscar arrived at the private clinic with death on his heels. He arrived with his minutes numbered. He arrived alone and mortally wounded. Oscar was assaulted by a boy barely fifteen years old with an enormous knife. Oscar saved his wallet, and received in exchange a stab wound, a wound through which his life was draining away.

Despite his paleness, the blood loss, the reflection of death in his dimmed eyes, the clinic demanded the usual guarantees to accept him as a patient, and Oscar, with no time to be bothered, showed his New World Insurance card. They verified the validity of his documents and his insurance coverage before admitting him to the operating room for emergency surgery. Three days later, Oscar had overcome the death. New World Insurance and the meticulous medical attention saved his life, but he ran out of coverage, the insurance no longer covered one more day at the Clinic, his credit card didn’t have sufficient backing and they transferred him to Public Assistance for minor care.

Three days after being admitted to San Juan de Dios Hospital, Oscar died from an aggressive bacterium that slipped into his wounds during a routine bandage change.
