00:00Thank you for attending us, doctor.
00:02How are you?
00:03Well, worried, because the first thing you explain to us in more detail is the burundanga,
00:08which was what was applied to be able to dominate Emilia.
00:13I don't know if you were listening to the note.
00:15I heard the last part, nothing more.
00:18Look, the burundanga is normally referred to two or three different substances.
00:25One of them is the product of a plant, which is brugmansia,
00:31which produces a picture that has to do with amnesia, with disorientation.
00:35But we have seen many times that what is used in these cases to commit a crime
00:40is a substance very similar to that used by those also known as black widows,
00:44which is a substance that is usually administered in some way,
00:51but which is always by ingestion.
00:54There is no other substance that generates, neither by inhalation nor by touch,
00:59an alteration of the state of consciousness immediately.
01:04And here, Carlos, well, it's okay.
01:06And Emilia, if you want to ask Dr. Damin, please participate, because you were the victim.
01:11What Emilia said is that they apparently took a while,
01:15that's why you talk about the immediacy,
01:17so that this drug that they gave her by touch, through a magazine,
01:21the magazine was impregnated, right?
01:25Yes, how are you, doctor?
01:27My doubt is the following, because they brought me to a magazine,
01:33inside the magazine there was a piece of paper,
01:35they asked me about a geriatrician,
01:37I told him that I did not know any geriatricians in the area,
01:40then he told me, please read the paper, because I am illiterate.
01:46So what did I take?
01:48The magazine was about the height of my face,
01:51they put it there for me to read.
01:55I picked up the paper and then I started to feel like a cramp in the lower part of the leg,
02:02a cramp, and I started to feel dizzy, strange,
02:07and from there I don't remember anymore until I woke up at two o'clock
02:11in the dining room of my house, sitting in a chair.
02:15Carlos?
02:16It's the only thing I remember.
02:18I'm listening, but well, the truth is that there is no substance
02:22that simply by smelling it can cause an alteration of this type.
02:27The closest thing to that are anesthetics,
02:30but they are applied through an anesthetic machine,
02:35which is what is used in a surgery.
02:37There is no substance that, when inhaled,
02:40generates loss of consciousness immediately with an alteration of this type,
02:44or simply by touch.
02:46Doctor, there are cases reported exactly the same as those of the San Martín neighborhood,
02:51in Bogotá, in Colombia,
02:53the media also got in touch with professionals to try to evacuate the same thing,
02:58and they all agree on the same thing.
03:00By touch, by inhalation, it is impossible to get to this case,
03:04but the experiences are repeated.
03:07It is repeated, but there should be some other way of administering it.
03:12There are substances that clearly produce this,
03:15as in the case of the substances used,
03:17I just mentioned the one of the black widows,
03:19which are usually a type of medication that also coincides with the fact that it leaves amnesia.
03:25So people don't remember what happened previously to the situation,
03:31because they generate a special amnesia,
03:34and then, well, it is used a lot to commit crimes.
03:37And here, doctor, what could have happened?
03:39Could they first act with the magazine,
03:41and then, already half-dominated, give him something to drink?
03:45That is possible, but not that it generates an alteration of the state of consciousness.
03:52But what Emilia says, forgive me, Carlos, if I interrupt you,
03:55is that as soon as he touched the magazine, he began to feel,
03:58describe it, you said a tickling, Emilia?
04:01Of course, I felt like a tickling, apart from down here on the leg,
04:06and then I felt weird, a half-weird head.
04:09And they touched you?
04:10And from there I was for an hour.
04:12Of course, out there.
04:13Let's see, obviously, a puncture could have been perceived, I understand,
04:18but most likely, for it to be such a quick effect too.
04:22They touched me, I don't remember.
04:23Of course.
04:24Could the doctors say that you didn't have any kind of puncture,
04:27or any injury to the body?
04:29No, I didn't have any puncture, I didn't have any puncture.
04:32Yes, immediately the doctor who came checked me.
04:36The particular thing, Guille, and doctor, is that after there is an hour in the middle, right?
04:43It is 12.39 to 13.39.40 that they arrive at the house.
04:50That is, there is an hour that there may be, perhaps,
04:54that maybe in the state in which Emilia was,
04:59they sat her down, and there maybe they could have given you something to drink,
05:02and you were not so aware of what was happening.
05:07Because there is an hour that you have to see what they did in that hour, right?
05:11Of course, that is my doubt, that is my doubt,
05:14and well, I will have it until it is discovered,
05:16because the truth is that I don't know, more than that I don't know.
05:20Yes, what we know, and thanking Dr. Dominguez who attended us,
05:24is that this happened to Emilia.
05:27There are probably some questions, because of that semi-unconscious effect,
05:31he does not remember them.
05:33I mean, that they gave him something to drink, and well, he doesn't remember it.
05:39Yes, it is evident that there are substances that produce this post-amnesia.
05:44Of course.
05:45But all are by ingestion, and or by injection, but not by inhalation or by touch.
05:53Yes, well, surely the doctors are attending Emilia with more rigor.
05:58They will be able to determine them, because they can be analyzed through blood or urine, clearly.
06:03Exactly, but it is good to alert the older adults.
06:07Thank you, doctor.
06:08No, please, a pleasure.
06:09Dr. Damin, who helped us to think, with a very valuable contribution, right?
06:13This could have been, but they could have added something else,
06:17and I look at you, Clarita Salguero, I say to wake up our dear older adults,
06:22so that they are aware of these tricks.
06:25Yes, the issue, you saw, of chatting, chatting with strangers,
06:30with people who are meeting.
06:32We always say this, Guille, for years.
06:35The older person has other codes.
06:37Because we are from generations, let's see, we grew up more confident in the neighborhood, all of us.
06:43Not the neighbor, talk, dialogue, believe.
06:47You approach someone, ask, and they are very communicative and very sociable,
06:53and life, unfortunately, today, has other codes that end up being, perhaps, very difficult,
07:00and you turn against them.
07:02You have to be careful, we always tell the older people,
07:06with whom you talk, who approaches you, and of course,
07:09everything that ends up in the entrance can end badly.
07:12In this case, it did not end badly, because the lady just fell asleep, woke up,
07:16she found that they had taken her belongings, but at least she can control it.
07:20Yes, but you go to see if you do not have a disease,
07:22that applying this can lead you to death, right?
07:24Exactly.
07:25But fortunately, this did not happen with Emilia.
07:27Emilia, well, we thank you.
07:29What you are telling serves to alert many people.
07:34Do you want to say something else?
07:37And yes, Guillermo, what I really do is to alert the rest of the people,
07:42because this is a neighborhood of older people,
07:46so it is important, and for the rest, too,
07:50because we are exposed to a lot of things,
07:54and now, with more uncertainty than before,
07:57because of what the doctor said,
07:59I don't know, as if they gave me something to sleep with,
08:03and at the same time, they gave me something to eat.
08:07Of course, and you probably don't remember.
08:09Because that left me in doubt.
08:10They took you to the square, they gave you something to drink,
08:12you were already dominated.
08:14But, well, to be attentive,
08:18because these issues are repeated even with the same protagonists.
08:22Thank you, Emilia, for your testimony.
08:24And thank you, Leo, also from there.
08:27Goodbye.
08:29Goodbye.
