Doctor Jose Rafael Marquina is twitting again on Hugo Chavez Health after the death of his father and a pause of several days. According to Venezuelan Government Chavez survived a dangerous respiratory infection. Marquina considers very grave the condition of the patient

.
Hugo Chavez is very close to death :

The Venezuelan Government is treating the media and population as fools that believe fairy tales of Chavez telling jokes and returning soon to Venezuela.

Doctor Marquina in Naples Florida is a specialist in Oncology ( Cancer ).

Here are the twits ( in Spanish ) :

Dr Marquina believes that Chavez needs continuous injection of pressured oxygen in his lungs ..... he also believes that he has cancer metastasis in the lungs and that is the origin of the difficulty for breathing. Infections ( viruses, bacteria ) are opportunists for these grave cancer conditions.

Chavez underwent Tracheostomy

A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening through the neck into the trachea (windpipe). A tube is usually placed through this opening to provide an airway and to remove secretions from the lungs. This tube is called a tracheostomy tube or trach tube.

So Chavez can not speak and the jokes and conversations that the Venezuelan Government reports are probably false.

Chavez has been invaded by cancer in leg bones and spinal chord. So it is almost sure that he will never walk or sit down again by his own means.
