ObakeFilter 893 Posted May 24 Czech President Petr Pavel has been taken to hospital after injuring himself while riding a motorcycle, his office has said. It said the injuries "are not serious", but a "short observation" was required. It gave no further details. Thursday's accident is the latest extra-curricular injury the Czech leader has suffered. In April, he suffered an injury while firing a weapon at a shooting range. The former general suffered a minor laceration near his eyebrows while shooting with a rifle equipped with an optic, his office said at the time. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nnj206e63o 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted May 24 On 06/01/2024 at 17:55, Zsa Zsa's leg said: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been hospitalized since New Year's Day, including spending four days in ICU after complications from a "minor, elective surgery" It's been a minor scandal that Austin and the Pentagon did not disclose his condition. IIRC, Attorney General Garland had a minor surgery recently and notified the public. The whole line of succession goes into effect when Biden has a routine colonoscopy, why aren't we told when the top national security official in the country is in the ICU for nearly a week? US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is undergoing another procedure, will hand over responsibilities to his deputy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
