Rotten Ali 600 Posted March 28, 2013 News coming in that Nelson is back in hospital. From the BBC news ticker headline. "Former South African President Nelson Mandela has been admitted to hospital with a recurrence of a lung infection" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adrian0719 220 Posted March 31, 2013 He has pneumonia, and had a pleural effusion, however the fluid was drained. He's still breathing "without difficulty" and recuperating, but is spending another night in hospital. It was interesting to read in the article that during the last hospitalisation, the government downplayed the seriousness of Madiba's illness until he was discharged. Clearly, we can't trust them.

Guest Guest Posted March 31, 2013 I think we wil have to get used to these increasingly frequent hospitalisations over the next year or 2 as he gets weaker and weaker and eventually dies in about 2 years time is my guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted March 31, 2013 I think we wil have to get used to these increasingly frequent hospitalisations over the next year or 2 as he gets weaker and weaker and eventually dies in about 2 years time is my guess Unless you have some form of medical qualification your opinion is worthless Oh, I dunno. What medical qualification does one need to venture an opinion that a 94 year old who has been hospitalised,IIRC, three times since December, is on their way out? Its not like its a case for fuggin Quincy, is it!! Anyway, I reckon its all a Castro type smoke and mirrors thingy, he hasnt been seen in public since the World Cup in South Africa so its pretty obvious that he is already well and truly deaded and they are just preparing the people or summat.

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted March 31, 2013 Given his health over the years and his ability to surmount huge obstacles in life both in health and elsewhere, Mr.Mandela might just surprise us all and stick around several more years. I don't rule him out as making it towards the double 20 either, stranger things have been known to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted March 31, 2013 Given his health over the years and his ability to surmount huge obstacles in life both in health and elsewhere, Mr.Mandela might just surprise us all and stick around several more years. I don't rule him out as making it towards the double 20 either, stranger things have been known to happen. This just in: BBC News - Nelson Mandela health condition improves - SA presidency "Nelson Mandela health condition improves Doctors treating former President Nelson Mandela for pneumonia report "a further improvement in his condition", South Africa's presidency has said. Its statement on Sunday evening, it said he "had a restful day" in hospital and continued to receive treatment. Mr Mandela, 94, has spent four days in hospital and there are no details yet on much longer he will stay there. Churches across the country have held prayers for Mr Mandela, who led the struggle against apartheid. In the statement, released shortly before the former leader was due to spend a fifth night in hospital, President Jacob Zuma thanked "the thousands of South Africans who prayed for Madiba at various Easter church services". Madiba is Mandela's clan name and is widely used to refer to him. At the Regina Mundi church in Soweto - once a focal point of the anti-apartheid struggle - several hundred people gathered to pray for Mr Mandela." so it would seem he is now on the mend!
