Allegedly denied care in Mexico, migrant loses leg

Mexican authorities are investigating a group of physicians at Tapachula General Hospital in Chiapas who allegedly refused to treat an illegal Nicaraguan migrant. The man's leg later had to be amputated as a result. The man says doctors would not treat a foot infection he developed after stepping on a nail while running from Mexican immigration officers. He also alleges that the same doctors have offered him money to withdraw his complaint. Several of the doctors have since been suspended, pending the investigation.
