Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 6, 2011 Japan's Emperor Akihito has been admitted to hospital suffering from fever and bronchitis, the royal palace said. The 77-year-old emperor "will be hospitalised from tonight because he has had a persistent fever and begun to show more concerning symptoms of bronchitis," a spokesman for the imperial household agency said. Television footage later showed the Emperor arriving by car at the University of Tokyo Hospital accompanied by Empress Michiko. He will be treated at the hospital only days after his granddaughter Aiko - the only child of Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako - was hospitalised there for pneumonia. Princess Aiko was discharged on Saturday. Emperor Akihito, who acceded to the throne in 1989 following the death of his father Emperor Hirohito, underwent surgery for prostate cancer in 2003. [snip] Emperor Akihito had surgery for prostate cancer in 2003 and suffered stress-related health issues in late 2008, including irregular pulse and stomach bleeding.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 8, 2011 I wonder what will Mossad will do to silence Sarkozy after today's gem? French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "liar" in talks with US President Barack Obama, who then complained of having to deal with him daily, a report said Tuesday. The private conversation, held during the G20 summit in the French city of Cannes last week, was overheard by a number of journalists after it was inadvertently transmitted over a system used for translation, media website Arret sur Images reported. "I can't see him anymore, he's a liar," Sarkozy said in French during the talks. "You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day," Obama replied in comments that were translated into French. A number of journalists contacted by AFP confirmed hearing the remarks.

No clarification on the nature of the illness but according to President Viktor Yanukovich "... the system (of medical treatment in jail) … is not up to the required standards.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted November 23, 2011 Nice story here about the fortunes of Latin American leaders who are suffering cancer. Things aren't looking too good for Alberto Fujimori Fujimori, 73, who is serving a 25-year prison sentence for corruption and human rights abuses while in office, has cancer in his tongue and mouth. He was taken from jail to a hospital last week for treatment of a variety of ailments, including depression and weight loss. His condition prompted his daughter Keiko to appeal to President Ollanta Humala, who defeated her in a presidential election earlier this year, not to let her father die in jail. “It's not fair for him or any other person,” Keiko told a radio interviewer. “You have to see him as a human being Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
