Jorge Lanata He remains hospitalized due to health problems since Friday, June 14 in the Italian Hospital. She had suffered cardiac arrest. In recent days, his general condition had become complicated and now, it was said, he is better and “they managed to extubate him.” “We are optimistic,” said those close to the journalist, although it emerged that he would not return to host his program immediately. Wool without filter on Radio Miter.
Lanata is in a good mood, regaining his appetite, restless as always. The tube was removed two days ago.
“Last week I said that Jorge had had a short strike, from which he came out quickly and that he was having a stable day and that, if he continued like this, they were going to let him go home so he could participate in the Martin Fierrothat they were going to go see and see how the situation was,” Yanina Latorre, a panelist from THE MAmerica’s program.
And she continued: “I’m going to be careful with my words. Also, I am not a doctor and there is no official part. On Saturday he had a very bad respiratory episode, really very bad. They intubated him and from Saturday to today he is sedated and intubated. Only once did they try to lower the sedation, to start extubating, and they couldn’t,” he added.
After everything that happened, Jorge Lanata is considered a “risk patient.”
Another symptom of concern is the secrecy of his wife, Elba Marcovecchio, who had come out to speak during other difficult moments in Lanata. This reserve was also noted in other relatives of the journalist and driver. When it comes to him, the seriousness of the issue is permanent since Lanata is considered a “risk patient.”
Last April he had already been hospitalized for respiratory problems and that situation caused a lot of uncertainty. Between August and October 2023, he had suffered various episodes and on September 12, his birthday, he returned to intensive care due to fever.
So far there is no official medical report. So far this year, it is the second time he has been hospitalized. Lanata continues at the Italiano after suffering a heart attack while having a lung scan. Last Saturday Angel de Brito tweeted that Lanata was a little better and that “they managed to extubate him.”
Although they exposed him, Lanata would not immediately return to host his program “Lanata without a filter” on Radio Miter.
In October of last year he had pneumonia and later he told the air: “I had three periods of completely losing consciousness, being intubated, leaving, and entering again. It was very strong and ugly. I don’t know if I thought I was going to die, but it was the closest thing to dying than what I had experienced. I had very vivid dreams that seemed like reality.
Recurrent hospitalizations
His hospitalizations were something recurring in recent times. In 2022 Lanata had to be treated for a “femoral nerve block” that caused pain in her hip. He also contracted COVID-19 and, if this were not enough, in 2021 he had to undergo surgery for a cardiac arrhythmia and an arterial pathology.
Between 2019 and 2020 he had undergone an operation at the Favarolo Foundation for a boil. He also presented with gastroenteritis and diabetic neuropathy.
It is worth remembering that in 2015 Lanata received a kidney in what was the first cross transplant between four people that was carried out in Latin America. The operation – unprecedented until then – was carried out with judicial authorization. The healthy mother of a sick young man agreed to donate one of her kidneys to the journalist. At the same time, the journalist’s ex-wife, Sara Stewart Brown, gave her consent for one of her kidneys to be removed and transplanted into the woman’s son.
