Lucía visited a new gynecologist for a routine checkup, but Dr. Álvaro Serrano discovered signs of a tubal sterilization procedure she had never consented to. When Lucía remembered being sedated by her husband Diego, also a gynecologist, during a supposed “deep examination,” she began investigating and found a forged consent form in his clinic records. Confronted, Diego admitted that he had secretly sterilized her because he believed he knew what was best for her, even claiming she was incapable of making the decision herself.
