After 5:10 p.m., and after the usual advance of presidential custody, Alberto Fernández arrived at the Otamendi Sanatorium, where they will perform a pain block to alleviate the herniated disc diagnosed this Tuesday.
The brief outpatient operation
will be performed by Dr. Eduardo Diez,
who was already waiting for the president to begin preparations.
Alberto Fernández needs a
"lumbar block"
between the L2 and L4 vertebrae, and is expected to return to Olivos in the evening.
As admitted by his entourage, the president began to feel lower back pain on Monday night, which did not subside on Tuesday with the intake of painkillers.
For this reason, his personal doctor,
Federico Saavedra
, decided to have an MRI done at the Otamendi.
The study was carried out late in the afternoon, and with the diagnosis in hand, it was decided to schedule the blockade, which was originally going to take place on Friday.
