The health of Alejandra "Locomotora" Oliveras remains very delicate. Just over a week after her hospitalization due to an ischemic stroke, the medical report released this Tuesday by Hospital Cullen offered no signs of improvement: her condition remains critical and, according to the doctors, the neurological damage is irreversible.
"The stroke caused irreversible damage," stated Dr. Néstor Carrizo, head of the hospital's intensive care unit, who explained that the former boxer "needs respiratory assistance, medication for hydration, nutrition, painkillers, and neurological monitoring." At this time, there are no plans to remove the ventilator: "her life depends on it."
Carrizo explained that the injury affects an entire hemisphere of the brain and, for that reason, it is not possible to begin another type of treatment. "The most important thing is clinical stability," he emphasized. When asked about the possibility of reversing the damage, the specialist was clear: "If we're talking about the functionality of that area of the brain, yes, it is irreversible. But we're not talking about the irreversibility of the neurological clinical condition."
