The minister Alexandre de Moraesdo STF (Supreme Federal Court)denied, this Friday (19), the request from the former president’s defense Jair Bolsonaro (PL) so that your physiotherapy schedule could be changed.
The lawyers requested that the daily sessions be held after 6pm, “within the legal and administrative possibilities of the Federal Police Superintendency”, where the former president has been imprisoned in Brasília for the last month.
Moraes, however, rejected the change, “since medical care must adapt to the PF’s schedules.”
In the decision, but denied the request for house arrest.
A, without urgency and with the possibility of prior scheduling, based on a PF report attached to the decision.
According to official medical expertise, Bolsonaro has a bilateral inguinal hernia.
The report points out that, although there is an alternative conservative treatment, surgical intervention is recommended by most surgeons, but does not qualify as an emergency procedure. Therefore, the surgery was classified as elective and must be scheduled on a date to be informed by the defense.
In medical jargon, an elective surgery is one that does not need to be performed immediately to avoid imminent risk to life or sudden worsening of the patient’s clinical condition.
Unlike urgent or emergency surgeries, this type of procedure can be planned in advance, taking into account clinical, logistical and administrative conditions.
