Finally, and after
10 days of being hospitalized
because of COVID-19, Mario Alberto Ishii
received a medical discharge
this Monday and will continue with his
recovery at home
.
The mayor of José C. Paz, who went through the disease with serious complications and several days
in a pharmacological coma
, left the
Domingo Angio hospital
amid
applause and words of encouragement
from some health center workers, municipal employees and also a group of neighbors .
"Today I was discharged from my
hospitalization
.
I am immensely grateful to God
for my state of health
and to all the medical personnel
who worked in my care and took care of me these days," said the communal head of one of the poorest municipalities in the country , located in the Northwest of Greater Buenos Aires.
The communal chief greeted the workers before leaving.
At noon on Monday, Ishii peeked out walking on his own in one of the corridors of the hospital.
There, inside the building located on Calle Pedro Ustarroz 5297 (former Abascal), the 62-year-old mayor took the first steps to begin to leave behind the shock that the virus caused him during the last 10 days, and that shook the local political scene
in the middle of the definition of the candidacies.
With his
traditional red poncho on his shoulder
and
escorted by a small group of doctors
, the mayor of La Paz undertook the withdrawal of the place in the midst of a
festive climate
.
Thus, after opening the hospital door 196, he was met with the first show of affection: the
applause of some
hospital
workers
.
In a good mood, Ishii
returned the demonstration of affection and between photos and smiles
made his way to receive, later, the
greeting of militants and community employees
.
Between laughs and photos, Ishii left the Domingo Angio hospital.
Later, with the historic PJ chief already outside the hospital, a
group of neighbors
who had approached the door of the health center also clapped their palms and threw
words of encouragement for the communal chief
, who ended up moving away from Domingo Angio in a van.
"I will continue with the recovery and treatment in my home", later pointed out "El Japon", a strong man of José C. Paz since 1999.
The mayor
had begun to show improvement on Thursday
, when he was awakened from a coma.
And one of the last medical reports confirmed its favorable evolution, anticipating what could finally be achieved this Monday: discharge from hospitalization.
Ishii left the health center in a van.
"He is on his tenth day of hospitalization in the intensive care unit of the Domingo Angio hospital for severe respiratory failure plus bilateral COVID pneumonia," it was reported on Saturday, July 31.
"It is with a
very good evolution, alert, reactive and in good spirits
, with the favorable evolution of the laboratories and tomographic images," said the local Health Secretary, Celestino Saavedra, who signed each of the official parts, and in that opportunity also
accompanied it with a video.
"Due to the good clinical evolution he has, in the next 48 or 72 hours we will be looking at the possibility of externalizing him and continuing his treatment on an outpatient basis," the Ishii official anticipated.
Finally, it was.
Ishii had
been admitted "preventively" on Thursday, July 22,
after it was confirmed that he had been in close contact with a relative who tested positive for coronavirus.
In the vicinity of the hospital there was a large group of people waiting for the mayor to leave.
After confirming his contagion via PCR, the communal chief
began to present respiratory difficulties
and had to be transferred to an intensive therapy room, connected to oxygen.
Because it is a
patient with risk factors
and despite having two doses of the vaccine, the alerts were quickly lit throughout the local political arc.
And justly because, as the days went by,
his condition worsened just at the closing of the lists
.
At one point during his hospitalization, it had been reported that "the progression of respiratory distress following his admission forced him to be connected to a
high-flow oxygen cannula
."
Although at that time they sought to provide him with oxygen in a less invasive way than a respirator, with the worsening of his situation there was no other option but to resort to mechanical ventilation.
This is how Mario Ishii appeared in one of the corridors of the Angio hospital after being discharged.
The most complex stage occurred later, when he was also put
into a pharmacological coma
and remained under a
reserved prognosis
.
Finally, the good evolution of his state of health brought some relief to his surroundings after they
were able to wake him up from a coma and he began to breathe on his own
.
In addition, he began to take the first steps in the
rehabilitation
stage
"with the kinesiology team,"
Saavedra confided at that time, when his prognosis was still reserved, but the outlook was beginning to be more encouraging.
Ishii is one of the longest-lived mayors of the Buenos Aires suburbs.
He was elected for the first time in 1999, and governed uninterruptedly until 2011, when he chose to compete for the provincial government in an intern with
Daniel Scioli
, who was running for reelection.
This Monday, Ishii received a medical discharge.
Finally, the La Paz
was defeated in the primaries
, where he received a meager
6.18%
of the votes of his front,
against 93.82%
of the head of the provincial executive.
After that defeat, he was a candidate for
provincial senator
, a position he
held between 2013 and 2015,
when he finally ceased his license and
resumed the municipal executive that he holds to this day
.
