Miguel Uribe, a major Colombian senator and presidential candidate, is right now in medical treatment. Now recuperating from a serious bullet wound to his head suffered in a recent shooting incident, medical personnel are keeping a very close watch on him as he continues to show slight signs of improvement.
Uribe’s shooting happened under circumstances that are still under investigation. Following the attack, they had a very short time period in which to rush him to an advanced medical center. There, a small army of doctors has been caring for him ever since. Recent updates from Uribe’s medical staff indicate that his brain activity has returned. This can be seen as an encouraging sign, particularly given the extent of his injuries.
Aside from the increased brain activity, Uribe’s blood pressure and heart rate have started to stabilize. These recent advances are encouraging for his recovery though medical professionals warn that his life is still very much at risk. Uribe’s medical team in the Miami area has provided constant supervision to the serious bullet wound in his head. She said they are still aggressively trying to stabilize his whole status.
The orthopedic surgeons treating Uribe are determined to give him the best holistic care possible while still figuring out the best way to treat his injury. They are focused on making sure that everything involved with his treatment is done with the most careful attention. Though these early signs of progress are encouraging, physicians caution that he is still being closely monitored to determine the effects on his health.
As things continue to change, news about Uribe’s condition will be shared with you all publicly. As for his supporters and colleagues, they continue to hold great hope. We all wish him a complete recovery, as he is one of the most important leaders of the Colombian political left.
