Goyo Comendador was 39 years old, a job as a computer scientist, a girlfriend named Ana, a brother of whom he was "fingernail and flesh", Mario;
passion for hunting, a little apartment in Moratalaz and "
a hell of a life, almost all ahead: I
had friends everywhere, we went hunting, or partying there ... He was, well, he's a nice guy, whom everyone wants ".
Last March 7, Sunday, Mario and Gregorio were eating together, "
and he was not scared at all,
" the former tells EL MUNDO. The next day they were going to do an arthroscopy on his left knee for
"a problem" that he had in his ligaments, some calcifications,
and incidentally "they were going to fix something else on his shoulder as well."
Two trauma interventions that "being very small things they were going to do at the same time." The two brothers, in any case, were able to do the after-dinner more than calm: the doctor who "had been seeing Mario for a couple of years, and who was going to operate on him, was
none other than Ángel Villamor
, the one known as
the King's traumatologist.
, who operated on Don Juan Carlos, for example, after his incident in Botswana.
The next morning, Gregorio went "very quiet" to the Vithas Nisa El Pardo Aravaca clinic, for
an intervention from which he had to walk out
.
Before entering he wrote his last message to the chat that he shared, and continues to share, with his brother, his partner and some relatives.
"He put us something like: 'This is not
na
,
when it comes out I'll write you
'".
"Do not open your eyes"
Since the beginning of summer, Gregorio rests at the Fundación San José, an institution for people with minimal conscience. Do not open your eyes. His encephalogram is practically flat. As his brother, Mario, says, "he
practically only breathes, he eats by tube and shits
." When he arrives here, at the end of the talk with this newspaper, Mario, who seems a strong guy, even though he has lived it all in his skin, or more specifically in that of his brother, he is already at the point of perplexity at which Anyone would come: "It's the milk, what happened is surreal ...
It's that neither the eyes open
, nor does it communicate, nothing."
What has happened so that Gregorio Comendador is in this situation?
"What we know is that during the operation there was a cardiorespiratory arrest, and my brother
was without oxygen for a time that we do not know
. He got out of there badly, but even so they told us that he would recover. A doctor even told me: 'No worry, your brother
leaves here shaking my hand
. 'But it wasn't like that. As soon as they saw the neuronal damage, they knew he would never get out. "

Goyo later passed through La Paz before arriving at the Fundación San José. His family
has already denounced the events in court
. Vithas Nisa Hospital has declined to make any statement to this newspaper. Justice will determine what happened to Goyo Comendador, and his family assures this newspaper that it will not stop "until it is known
who of all the people who intervened in the operation made the mistake
.
"
Mario, the 35-year-old brother, speaks: "Goyo had had calcifications in his left knee for many years, and
always with Villamor, we have found reports up to 2017.
I saw him in a consultation that he has near the [Santiago] Bernabéu, and There he infiltrated him three or four times. According to Goyo himself, it was in that consultation that Villamor told him: 'Well,
if you want to operate this, I will operate it myself
, I operate every day.'
"It happens in one out of every thousand cases"
«It was very calm for there that morning, really. A while later my sister-in-law called me, and she was going to the hospital because they had called her and told her that something had gone wrong. If he came in at eight in the morning, she called me at 12. She showed up there and they said: 'Look, this has happened. Can you call his brother? ' And she: 'No, no, you call him.' An anesthetist named Giráldez called me, and she told me that she
had
probably
suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest
, and that they had followed all the protocols. Anyway, he repeated to me: 'But it's controlled.' They put Goyo in the ICU and the next day we asked about the stop. 'And that?'. They answered us: 'Nothing, it
is that it happens in one of every thousand cases
,and you have been unlucky enough to have it '».
"We also spoke with the intensivist, and he said that he was not there when everything happened. They did an MRI and they
told us that it had not turned out very badly, that the brain was not so bad
. That was where that Giráldez told me: 'No It has gone very wrong. There is something but don't worry, your brother leaves here shaking my hand '".
Goyo's evolution, as Mario Comendador tells it, was downhill: "Days passed and the hospital
told us that there were no neurological advances
. Then they did a tracheostomy so that he could breathe. Later he got an allergy and put everything on black, like coal. There we already saw that we were not going to be able to recover him. A month after the medical error, 15 days after he was taken out of the induced coma, we had to take him to La Paz to the Burn Unit, where he spent 10 days , for the happy allergy ... ".
In La Paz an electroencephalogram is performed that shows "that
there was no activity, or almost: that there was very little
. There they tell me: 'Your brother, forget about him.' We also spoke with Villamor, and he told us that he was not he found out nothing, that they informed him of the stop, but he had no idea "
Who was, or rather is, Gregorio Comendador?
"Well, an uncle who was very close to his friends, who really liked the gym, hunting. He worked as a computer scientist, he didn't have kids but he was
the typical guy who was making plans with friends
all the time. He loved his nephew, my son, Mario. Also go to our town, Corral de Almaguer [Toledo], to hunt partridges, rabbits and hares ... ".
Mario, in short, does not understand what could have happened: "A few months ago my brother existed, he lived, he was there. Now he is not. There
has to be someone responsible and we will find him
. We trust in Justice", he concludes.
