Hernán Boveri

Hernán Boveri was a 31-year-old anesthesiologist in Argentina. He is newsworthy due to his death on February 20th in his Buenos Aires apartment. Emergency personnel found him with an IV line, injection supplies, and the drugs propofol and fentanyl, which are not available for private use or sold in pharmacies. His death has triggered an investigation into the theft and resale of propofol and fentanyl from hospitals, exposing a network of anesthesiologists allegedly involved in "controlled trips" using these drugs. The case has gained significant attention in Argentina, with a circulating audio recording further detailing the alleged scheme. Boveri's death has brought to light a hidden world of drug abuse and illegal distribution within the medical community, raising serious concerns about hospital security and ethical practices.
