David Ortiz is still in the intensive care unit in Boston
The press secretary of David Ortiz, Leo López, has said that Ortiz continues to be stable in the intensive care unit at the Mass General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. López says Ortiz’s health is stable, but he is kept in the ICU as medics are monitoring the development of any infection. He said there is no timeframe for him to be transferred to a standard room.
Ortiz was shot last Sunday, 9 June 2019 in a bar in Santo Domingo East, and following an operation in the Dominican Republic, he was transferred by air ambulance to Boston.
Also injured in the incident was communicator Jhoel Lopez.
In a statement on 13 June 2019, David Ortiz’s wife, Tiffany thanked the “selfless” man who drove her husband to the hospital (Eliezer Salvador) and the “amazing” medical team who cared for him as he continues to recover from surgery to treat a gunshot wound at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Doctors removed part of Ortiz’s gallbladder and part of his intestine. In her statement, Tiffany Ortiz stated: “To the amazing surgeons, medical team, and staff at the Abel González Clinic in the Dominican Republic, there are no words to express our gratitude for the amazing care you provided. Without you, our story could have had a tragic ending. You will forever be our guardian angels.”
