2018年CRI Brazilian presidential candidate suffers "extensive" injuries from attack

 

Brazilian presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, who was stabbed earlier on Thursday, sustained "extensive" injuries but is now stable, doctors said.

The medical team who attended to Bolsonaro gave a press conference on Thursday evening to inform about the candidate's condition after the attack.

According to surgeon Luiz Henrique Borsato, Bolsonaro had abdominal¹ trauma² and was in shock when admitted to the hospital.

Borsato said the candidate had extensive internal hemorrhage, which was stanched³ in the surgery. He had three perforations on the small intestines⁴ and one in the colon⁵, the doctor said, but no injuries in the lung or liver, as it was rumored⁶ earlier.

Because of the injuries to the intestines, Bolsonaro was submitted to a colostomy, a procedure to put on a colostomy bag, which temporarily collects the feces of the patient while the intestines heal. He will have to use the bag for a couple of months, the doctors said.

According to the medical team, Bolsonaro will not leave the hospital for another week or 10 days, and returning to the campaign in the streets is not on the line yet.
