These problems stem from the attack he suffered on September 6, 2018 when he was stabbed in the abdomen during his presidential campaign.
This Monday it was reported that the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, was admitted to the emergency room again.
Six months after entering a hospital in Sao Paulo Due to an intestinal obstruction, the president was admitted again today for the same problem, at the beginning of what will be the last year of his mandate.
Bolsonaro, 66, is being treated at the Vila Nova Star hospital, the same clinical unit where he spent four days under medical treatment after suffering a series of abdominal pain and after being previously treated at a medical center in Brasilia.
A brief statement from the hospital released this Monday indicates that Bolsonaro was admitted this morning “due to a picture of intestinal subocclusion.”
The ruler “is stable, in treatment, and will be evaluated throughout this morning” by a team led by Dr. Antônio Luiz de Vasconcellos Macedo, says the note, adding that there is no forecast on when he may be discharged .
Macedo is the chief surgeon and in charge of the ruler’s health. According to local media, the doctor was on vacation in the Bahamas and anticipated his return to lead the team.
On his Twitter account, Bolsonaro published a photograph of himself prostrate in bed, with a resigned face, making the OK sign with his right hand and with a probe through his nose.
In this social network, the ultra-rightist ruler says that he began to feel bad on Sunday, after having lunch, and that he was admitted to the Sao Paulo hospital at 3.00 local time (06.00 GMT).
“I will have more tests for a possible surgery for internal obstruction in the abdominal region,” adds the president.
Bolsonaro recalls that these problems stem from the attack he suffered on September 6, 2018 when he was stabbed in the abdomen in the middle of the electoral campaign for the October elections of that year, while he was carried on the shoulders of a group of supporters.
The aggressor was arrested immediately after the attack, but was declared unimpeachable, as the judge considered that he was not able to answer for his actions due to his mental problems.
That attack led to four surgeries, but one was discarded after his last hospital admission in Sao Paulo, from which he was discharged on July 18, 2021.
In addition to this, he has undergone surgery to remove a stone in the bladder and has also undergone a vasectomy.
There is no information on whether this time he will have to be intervened again. The doctor in charge of his health, Macedo, will not arrive in Brazil until 3:00 p.m., according to Bolsonaro himself.
The problems arose while Bolsonaro was on vacation in the state of Santa Catarina, southeastern Brazil. The last public appearance was on Friday, in his recorded end-of-year message.
The new problems emerged three days after Bolsonaro entered the last year of the current term, which began on January 1, 2019 and will end on December 31 of this year.
Bolsonaro intends to seek a new term in the elections on October 2 this year, but opinion polls place him a long way from the favorite, the former president and leader of the Brazilian left, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
In that end-of-year message, broadcast on a radio and television network, Bolsonaro praised the measures he carried out throughout 2021 and remained in a series of denialist policies against the coronavirus that have generated numerous criticisms.
Among them, he included the rejection of “any restriction” for those who do not want to be vaccinated against the coronavirus and assured that Brazil was “an example for the world” because “all adults who so wished were vaccinated.”
But he is not among them, because he assures that he will be the last Brazilian to be vaccinated against COVID-19. (I)
