Seven Rejected Medical Leaves: A Chilean Security Guard's Struggle

In Santiago, Chile, Yolanda Ruiz, a security guard, faces financial hardship after seven medical leave applications were denied by the COMPIN (National Commission for Medical Prevention and Disability). Ruiz underwent hip surgery and requires ongoing care, preventing her from working. "They tell me the diagnosis is repetitive," Ruiz stated in the video, expressing her frustration. The COMPIN's rejections cite a lack of medical justification for continued leave, despite her documented condition and surgery. The video also highlights the financial strain on Ruiz and her disabled husband. This case raises questions about the efficiency and compassion of the medical leave system in Chile.
