Alert in Argentina! Maradona is hospitalized in a clinic in La Plata

Days after your 60th birthday, Diego Maradona He was admitted to the Ipensa de La Plata sanatorium to undergo a series of check-ups, after agreeing on the decision with Leopoldo Luque, his personal physician, and after a conversation-discussion with Matías Morla, his manager, who had not seen him well for several days. The technical director of Gymnastics was not in a good mood, ate little (which led to anemia) and showed a picture of anxiety.

The former captain of the National Team had gone through a tough week, given that he had been isolated after having had close contact with a suspected coronavirus box. On Friday, in the Gimnasia-Patronato preview, a tribute to Maradona was held in the “Bosque”, which included fireworks, plaques and greetings, among others, from Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia and Marcelo Tinelli. But the image that remained on everyone’s retina, both those present and the viewers, was that of a fragile Maradona, with difficulties in walking and speaking.

As he could find out InfobaeMorla, noticing the symptoms described, recommended that he not attend the Gymnastics game, but Ten insisted on not missing the tribute. And he took a higher dose of the medication prescribed for his condition.

Leopoldo Luque gave statements at the door of the sanatorium and explained the causes of the hospitalization. “It is bad psychologically and affects the body, it eats badly, it changes everything. It is the main factor that leads him to be hospitalized, ”he emphasized, and explained that the length of stay in the clinic will depend on the star himself and his doctor.

“The days that I am here is something that I have to work on, Diego is fine, he leaves when he wants to discharge. My idea is to have it maybe three days to adjust treatments and see the evolution. There is nothing urgent, ”he added.

“Diego lost weight because he had been training. I saw him sad, he led us to admit him by mutual agreement. Diego is a person of cycles, sometimes he is very well and at times not so well. I didn’t like the moment I was in. Bringing him here helps him, ”he insisted with the concept. In addition, he stressed that few people will have access to see him in the face of the dangers posed by the coronavirus: “Due to the pandemic, he will be with the best possible number of people.”

THE MAIN DEFINITIONS OF THE MARADONA DOCTOR

What is it like to treat Diego?

“With him nothing is easy, he even told me that he did not want to see me. I see him as a patient that I would like to see better. Living with other patients is much easier, because they comply with what you tell them. He is an old person, with many pressures in his life, he turned 60 years old and you have to help him. It’s hard to be Maradona. “

How did you convince him to go in?

“He is not hospitalized because I brought him; He is here because he wanted to come. I did not see him as I would like to see him and how I know he can be. I told him: ‘Che, Diego, let’s go to a clinic, you have to be better.’ He told me: ‘Stop puffing me up.’ Until he said, ‘Okay, let’s go.’ It’s a general checkup. You have to be calm, Diego is fine, but he can be much better. It is a therapeutic proposal that he accepted ”.

Diego’s concern before entering: the next gymnastics game against Vélez on Sunday

“I told him to come here and he said: ‘I have to direct on Sunday.’ And I replied: ‘Come with me, you are not going to direct, you are going to play.’

Why did you think it necessary to intern him?

“Maradona saw it as when he is sick, he does not speak, he does not accept help. I am the doctor, not his father. There are times when you have to invade a little more and this was the moment. We are not talking about an addiction or that it has broken down. It is trying to improve clinical aspects that will affect the whole body. There is no other search. “
