A cardiologist testified on Thursday that Diego Maradona was considered a “high-risk patient” and said that the authorities at the clinic where he underwent surgery days before his death recommended that the former national team captain should have to recover in a rehabilitation clinic rather than in a private home.
“He was a high-risk patient who was experiencing withdrawal symptoms and required significant care,” Sebastián Nani, head of cardiology at the Olivos Clinic, testified to the court trying seven healthcare professionals for the alleged negligent homicide of the former player.
