The case took place at the Emergency Care Unit (UPA) Jardim Conceição, in the early hours of last Thursday, May 18. The child's mother, Priscila da Silva Ramos, only realized what she had on paper when she showed it to a relative.

“How is my son going to eat chocolate ice cream? He has a sore throat,” she reported.

According to her, the child, about 9 years old, arrived at the hospital with symptoms of a strong flu: cough, sore throat, dizziness and vomiting. During the consultation, the mother says that the doctor who prescribed Free Fire did not examine the child, he only asked what he was feeling and wrote a prescription. “He didn't explain any [medicines on the list] to me,” she said.

He just, narrated the woman, asked if the child wanted strawberry or chocolate ice cream.

Who is the doctor who prescribed ice cream and Free Fire?

The g1 website did not disclose the name of the doctor who prescribed Free Fire. However, he reported that he has an active CRM at the Regional Council of Medicine of São Paulo (Cremesp). In addition, although the prescription stamp identifies him as a neurologist, there is no specialty registered in the agency.

Cremesp said it will investigate the conduct of the professional.

The Municipality of Osasco, in a note, stated that “the doctor refers to having prescribed ice cream for pain relief, since ingestion of ice cream has an anesthetic effect and thus the child would be able to eat during the acute phase of illness".

In addition, he clarified that, due to his conduct, the doctor was dismissed from the service providers.
