Weeks go by and it seems that the Covid-19 pandemic has been brought under control. At least the World Health Organization (WHO) points out that there has been a global decrease in new cases during the last 12 weeks. The downside is that there are other problems such as violence that are not going down, but quite the opposite. The clearest example is the violence that has been present in Mexico for decades and to which anyone is exposed. While one of the most recent cases is the murder of a doctor in his office in Jalisco.
Despite the change in government and political parties in power, no one has yet been able to deal with this severe problem that affects the entire country. Even recently, criminal acts have increased and some have been of fatal consequences.
For its part, the health union has been one of the most affected because cases in which medical personnel are attacked are constant. Sometimes they are attacks on public roads or while they are inside a vehicle. But the worst is when outrageous events such as this murder occur within the doctor’s office itself.
Account of what happened
I agree with you local media the attack occurred during the afternoon of October 5 in Jalisco. Based on the research folder, it was a lonely individual who unexpectedly entered the workplace of the doctor whose name has not yet been revealed.
Although at that time he was offering a consultation and there were patients, the aggressor took out a firearm and used it against the doctor. He immediately fled the scene in a vehicle without someone being able to reach him.
A few minutes later, paramedics from the Green Cross came to the office but confirmed that the doctor no longer had vital signs. The bullet impact was direct to the head and caused his instant death.

So far the motive for the crime is unknown but the case is already under investigation. Similarly, the aggressor has not been identified but his whereabouts are expected to be found soon.
Other recent attacks on medical personnel
However, what causes more fear is that this murder of the doctor joins other similar attacks that have occurred recently.
On September 2 we informed you of the murder of a neurosurgeon while driving his BMW car through the streets of Mexico City. The crime occurred in broad daylight and on one of the busiest avenues in the capital.
For its part, on September 9, a murder was recorded in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. The victim was the Dr. Sergio Eduardo Espejo Guasco, who was traveling in his Mercedes Benz vehicle.
The most recent case occurred during the afternoon of this September 13 in the city of Acapulco. While the gastroenterologist Javier Kuri Guido He was driving his BMW brand car down one of the main avenues. He was hit by an armed commando who was traveling on a motorcycle.
In all the cases mentioned, firearms were used and the motive for each crime is still unclear. But while before it was believed that it was dangerous to be a doctor in rural areas, it is now proven that it is a high-risk profession in any part of the country. Even in the big cities that are the most protected and there are security cameras, attacks of this magnitude occur.
