CASE STORIES

Liquid Soza

Cita, then 16 years old, barely lived to tell her story. According to hospital records, she suffered from severe internal bleeding caused by acid burns. Portions of her back and legs were also burned, indicating her struggles during the incident. Acid also burned her entire digestive system from the esophagus down to the stomach. She literally could not speak about her ordeal, and could not swallow food. After several months of hospital therapy and successive operations, she began to confide in her doctors. She stated that she was tricked by her employer into drinking an acid normally used to unclog kitchen drains. She summoned the last of her strength to file a case of attempted homicide against her employer. Cita died the day after she signed her complaint.
