Before the respiratory problem that it have affected to Jopela during the last days and the danger that it supposes, because it could end in acute edema pulmonary, doctor Jaume Borras, the doctor of  Majorcan expedition, has recommended the mountain climber who firstly visits a doctor and after that lowers below the 4,000 meters.

According to Borras although if he isn’t an acute edema pulmonary is recommendable that Jopela remains one week in the 3,800 meters of height to be able to recover of its pulmonary disease and to be able to continue, more ahead with the rest del group.
