This is the third lesson in la historia de Ingrid. Follow a Guatemalan family through a leukemia diagnosis, an AMA discharge, and critical life-or-death decisions. Luis González describes Ingrid's fear in a public hospital in Guatemala City, the decision to sign a voluntary discharge form against medical advice, and their journey to Quetzaltenango (Xela), where a hematologist confirms the diagnosis and recommends immediate hospitalization.
