Joaquín Cortés is discharged from hospital after a week in hospital: “I came with the flu and I almost died”

Joaquin Cortes, 54, was discharged this Monday, April 10, from the Madrid hospital where he had been admitted for a week after losing consciousness while playing with his children. He was accompanied by his wife, Monica. “They began to do tests on me, something surreal. I came with the flu and I almost died, but the important thing is that we are here,” he revealed.

Smiling, with a leather jacket and white T-shirt. This is how the dancer left through the door of the public medical center where he had been hospitalized for seven days. “I arrived at the emergency room with very little oxygen saturation in my blood (…) They are doing tests and I will be on antibiotics and oxygen until they find out what is happening to me and the origin of the syncopes,” he shared with his followers at the time. . A message in which he revealed that the only thing that hurt him was taking days without seeing his little ones, Romeo and Andrea, 4 and 2 years old.

It has been an unexpected discharge, since only a few hours ago the bailaor shared an image with the electrodes on his chest and oxygen in his nose. He has revealed his last medical report, in which he confirmed that, although he has had “some trouble along the way”, he is “more lively” every day. “ECG (electrocardiogram) done! EEG (electroencephalogram) done, lung capacity measured. And so on without stopping,” he posted on Instagram this Monday.

“And no, I don’t smoke”

“Still without a clear diagnosis, in addition to severe pneumonia. But not caused by any virus at all as you comment here, but by a bacterium. I still have endless tests and the ones that remain… In addition to sinusitis and some that another thing related to the lungs… but thank God everything is fine. And no, I don’t smoke”, he clarified.

“We still don’t know anything about the syncopes. The important thing is that I’m going to leave here as good as new. Thank God, nothing that prevents me from continuing with my profession as I came to think at some point. Rather the other way around. Dance is what has saved me. And everything she’s done with my body.”
