Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s former president, would have to undergo another operation on his bowel if he returns to Brazil from the United States, doctor Antônio Luiz de Vasconcellos Macedo told Reuters on Wednesday.
The clinician, who has been guiding Bolsonaro since the former ruler was stabbed during the 2018 presidential campaign, said the politician is clinically healthy but will need another surgical procedure to prevent intestinal problems.
Still according to the doctor, the prediction is that the new operation will take place in the month of February in São Paulo, Brazil. But it is still not known with certainty when the former president will return from the United States.
On January 9, Bolsonaro was admitted to a hospital in Florida, US, for several hours due to intestinal problems, but left the hospital against the advice of the medical team following him, according to the then-Brazilian newspaper O Globo. On the occasion, he himself told CNN that he would expect to return to Brazil to see the doctors who are already aware of his “problem of intestinal obstruction due to the stabbing.”
The internment, remember, took place a day after his supporters invaded the National Congress from the Planalto Palace and Federal Supreme Court in Brasília.
