PHILSTAR: GMA's health deteriorating - docs

Antonio Sison of the VMMC Department of Orthopedics: "Arroyo, who underwent three major cervical spine operations in October 2011, continues to complain of cervical and lower back pain, which are relieved temporarily by medicine and physiotherapy "but with no actual significant clinical improvement".

Ernesto Palanca, a clinician for more than 50 years and a former surgery professor of the University of Sto. Tomas, said he also examined Arroyo at the VMMC under the supervision of some of her attending physicians like his former student Martina Nocum late last month. Though medical help is being provided, Palanca stressed that "she is a person with body and spirit. How can she by her own self increase her antibodies and enhance her own immune system if the authorities continue to detain her as an accused criminal?
