Police: Dad Burns Baby In Microwave
Officials Say Man Confessed
POSTED: 1:42 pm EDT May 16, 2007
GALVESTON, Texas -- A 19-year-old has been charged with injury to a child after police said his 2-month-old daughter was burned when he placed her in a microwave.
Joshua Mauldin, of Arkansas, has been charged with injury to a child causing serious harm. He is in the Galveston County jail with bond set at $250,000. At Shriners Burns Hospital on Tuesday, doctors treated internal injuries and third-degree burns the infant suffered to the left side of her face and left hand. She is listed in critical condition.
Maudlin arrived at a Galveston hotel last week along with the baby, his wife and mother. He called 911 on Thursday, saying that his baby had been burned in the hotel room when he tripped while carrying a pot of hot water to make coffee. But police Sgt. Annie Almendarez said investigators later decided the child's injuries were not consistent with that story. She said investigators believe the child was in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds.
"I've been doing this for a lot of years and it actually brought tears to my eyes," Almendarez said. "I'm sitting there looking at the pictures and I'm sitting there looking at him and there's nothing I could really do about it but just keep my composure and go on."Detectives said Mauldin later confessed to putting his daughter in the microwave and said he was frustrated by the demands of caring for her.
At the time the child was injured, her mother and Mauldin's mother were picking up dinner at a nearby restaurant. According to police reports, Mauldin told investigators God ordered him to go to Galveston to look for work as a minister.If convicted, Mauldin could receive a prison term of five to 99 years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.

Santiago no es Chile - II parte
Nuevamente me gustaría hablar de mi programa fetiche: Santiago no es Chile (martes 23:30 por Canal 13).El capítulo de hace algunos minutos me dejo un poco enojado. Y basicamente fue por el personaje de la foto al costado. Señoras y señores, meet the face of my new enemy. El médico Jacobo Jankelevic.
Esta bien. Muchos me podrán decir que la arrogancia viene aparejada con la obtención del cartón de médico cirujano. De hecho, fue una de las tantas razones que me hicieron huir aterrorizado de Medicina.
Pero por favor, el señor Jankelevic sacó doctorado en arrogancia. No solo estaba de visita, sino que también se dio el lujo de criticar la manera en que se ejerce su labor profesional sin tener los miles de miles de dólares en equipos técnicos y humanos.
Un poco de contextualización. El capítulo trató, por si no lo vieron, de que este doctorcillo iba de viaje a Rio Puelo, donde hacía parte de la ronda médica junto a una médico general de zona (Fabiola Jaramillo, que a todo esto estoy casi seguro de que fue compañera mía en Medicina), una dentista, una enfermera y una matrona. Y bueno, entre ires y venires, vamos interiorizándonos en el pensamiento de Jankelevic, el cual cuestiona mucho las formas en que se ejerce la medicina en aquellos territorios de frontera.
Tal como escribí en el blog de la serie, las actitudes y opiniones de Jankelevic, no son sino un reflejo de lo inmunda y asquerosa que es la vida en esta ciudad. A tal lleva el frenesí y ritmo de vida que muchas veces nos vemos sumergidos y completamente apabullados por un momento de tranquilidad y silencio. O sea, creo que a muchas personas el sólo concepto de una calle tranquila debe estar en eso, en un construcción teórica. Para que decir de un pueblo o de un casa en un potrero sin nadie a 10 km a la redonda.
Mención aparte es la inconmensurable labor que ejercen todas aquellas personas que sacrifican años de vida profesional en pos de una causa mucho menos reconocida y bastante más mal recompensada economicamente. La de generales de zona y de los cientos de profesionales de todos los ámbitos.
No obstante mi berrinche anterior, hay algo que destaco de la experiencia vivida por Jankelevic, y que fue la última frase que le dijo a la médico Fabiola Jaramillo al dejar su casa en Puelo:
“tu sigues practicando medicina, y yo me he convertido en quizás que cosa”.
Señores, a confesión de partes, relevo de pruebas.
He dicho.

Actualización: encontré dos videos en Youtube del capítulo. A ver si les da la idea de lo que quizé expresar arriba.
