Doctors were able to save the life of 17-year old Estefany Maria Baez who attempted suicide by throwing herself from the overpass at Avenida John F. Kennedy with Maximo Gomez in Santo Domingo on 27 August 2015. She was sent home on Thursday, 1 October 2015 after a month and a half, spent mostly in intensive care at the Ney Arias Lora Public Hospital. The deputy director, Dr. Alfredo Polanco told Listin Diario that the young woman was sent home in good physical and mental health.
At the time, Baez was unable to cope with her unplanned pregnancy. Her mother, Ofelia Sosa, told Listin Diario that Baez says she plans to resume her communications studies at the UASD and to play softball.
Her mother also publicly thanked Luis Carlos Jimenez Hernandez, a medical student who stopped on the road to administer first aid and call 911, and the staff at the hospital.
