It sounds like Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is going to be fine after being hospitalized "due to an intestinal obstruction after 10 straight days of hiccups."
Please excuse me while I laugh hysterically at the fact that he had the hiccups for 10 straight days...
Bolsonaro apparently had some dental work done back in June and originally blamed the hiccups on the medication he was prescribed after the surgery.
But when the hiccups lasted a whole ten days (can you imagine this?) he decided it was time to hit up the doctor.
I just have to know: how many times did his aides try to startle him out of the hiccups over that ten-day period?
He was originally taken to a military hospital in the capital city of Brasilia, but a surgeon—the same guy who operated on him "after he was stabbed shortly before his 2018 election —diagnosed him with a bowel obstruction."
Yeah, I guess he got stabbed in the weeks leading up to his election, which is kind of cool if you ask me.
Notice I completely avoided the mention of a "bowel obstruction," because yeah, I'm not going there...
It seems like the guy's okay, and after posting a photo of himself all hooked up to tubes and monitors, he posted this photo of him walking about triumphantly:
Back to the field soon, God willing! We did a lot, but we still have a lot to do for our Brazil! Thanks for your support and prayers. A big hug to everyone!
Say a prayer for this man. He was one of very few world leaders who stood up to the Covid frauds in that dreadful year we'll always remember as, well, 2020.
