What was going to be a knee operation to correct an injury ended up becoming a nightmare for Giovanny, a 13-year-old minor who is now in a vegetative state and unable to fulfill his dream of becoming a great soccer player.
Giovanny’s story was shared by Telemundo’s “Al Rojo Vivo” program.
The little boy was a soccer player for the lower teams of Jalisco, in Mexico.
Giovanny, who dreamed of being a great soccer player to help his family and get them out of a difficult economic situation, was close to fulfilling his goal: the little boy would present an aptitude test to enter professional soccer teams.
However, to pass the soccer tests, had to undergo meniscus surgery to correct a past injury to his left knee which could complicate his future in the sport.

Although it seemed to be a routine operation, the little boy ended up in a vegetative state after the procedure.
According to what his mother told Telemundo’s “Al Rojo Vivo” program, Giovanny underwent surgery in September 2021 at the Cruz Verde Clinic in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
However, doctors say Giovanny had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and suffered a heart attack before starting surgery on his left knee.
“The doctor came out and told me that he had not operated on him, that he had had a heart attack (…) They took a while with him and told me that he was having another heart attack”, affirmed Josefina Suárez, mother of the 13-year-old minor.
Although the little boy was transferred to two other medical centers and remained in intensive care for more than a month, it was not possible for him to recover his mobility and leave the state in which he was left after the surgical procedure.

The minor’s family sued the clinic for medical negligencesince he indicated that Giovanny’s state of health made what happened unlikely.

His family called the authorities, since the child’s condition has brought them difficulties. Some friends and acquaintances have donated the bed and medical equipment that Giovanny needs to stay alive at home.
