Unfortunately a human being is in great suffering and we hope the best for the sick man. But this is a horrible "Reality Show" -- Dr Marquina is now a journalistic superstar, and many millions around the globe are waiting for his reports about the Health of Hugo Chavez... Many people that don't give a damn about politics follow this Venezuelan soap opera with very intense interest, just for the medical curiosity and knowledge.
This is sad and unfortunate but we are learning a lot of medicine and oncology with Dr Marquina, a specialist and scientist of cancer. We are sad and sorry for the patient, even if we don't share Hugo's political ideas.
From Curacao Chronicle - Some Extracts :
Also, metastasis were detected in urine bladder, intestines and lungs. The President is breathing through an opening in his air pipe from a tracheotomy, and hooked up to an artificial respirator. So Chavez has been unable to talk or walk since 10 December 2012 and most likely, will never do so again. Marquina advised the Chavez family to move Chavez to the USA, since Cuba has no experience in treatment of these kinds of cancers and the treatment for the so-called lung infection had turned out as a disastrous failure.
Hugo Chavez’ health remains shrouded in strict secrecy since the onset two years ago, and that secrecy has become the source of endless speculations. Whatever the actual truth about the health of Hugo Chavez may be, it has become very clear that the Venezuelan government is unable to function without their legendary leader.
