The geriatrician praised the attitude of the Abravanel family during the hospitalization of the presenter
Geriatrician Victor Dornelas, who treated presenter Silvio Santos (1930-2024), commented on the last moments with the icon of Brazilian television. The communicator, 93 years old, died last Saturday (17/8) due to bronchopneumonia, caused by the H1N1 influenza infection.
On Instagram, the doctor specializing in elderly care said that the Abravanel family remained united during the days Silvio was hospitalized at the Albert Einstein Israeli Hospital in São Paulo. “Taking care of you has been the greatest challenge and the greatest privilege I have ever had. The last few weeks have been so intense that it felt like they were lasting much longer,” Dornelas summed up.
“It was so beautiful to see the privilege on the faces of each of the subjects involved in the care network we created. Even more beautiful was to see the love and faith of their family. Unwavering, intense and true. A love that overflowed in every gesture, word and look. A love that welcomed and allowed us to practice honest and humane medicine, preserving his biography.”
Dornelas also tells of a special conversation he had with the communicator about marriage: “I will never forget our long conversation on the night of July 19, when you asked me why I was not married. Embarrassed, I replied that I was married to my wife.” patients. My answer brought me a legendary laugh and, as a bonus, another lesson: “I know few people who have worked harder than me, but family is very important.”
Finally, the geriatrician thanked Silvio Santos’ family for their trust in the work of the hospital team, which in recent weeks has worked hard to ensure that the host’s passing was “serene and dignified”.
