Perv at Small, Rural Texas Hospital for Tests
2006-09-24
PARIS, Texas (AP) - Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf underwent routine testing with his doctor Saturday during an unannounced visit to this rural East Texas town.
Because that's where foreign heads of state go when they have a heart exam -- not the Cleveland Clinic, not the Mayo, but to a rural Texas town. Happens all the time.
Musharraf, whose surprise appearance came a day after visiting President Bush in Washington, was ``found to be in excellent health,'' according to a statement from Paris Regional Medical Center.

Pakistan Information Minister Mohammed Ali Durrani told The Associated Press on Saturday that Musharraf, 63, visited a friend in Texas who is a cardiologist and suggested he be examined. ``He went through that,'' Durrani said. ``All systems are go. Everything is fine. He is as fit as a horse.''

#13  TR - you're being baited/played for your condescending attitude.

Really? And here I thought that "6" was playing Tommy to my Dick. Smothers that is. Thanks Frank, but I know that. It's good practice, keeps the condescension and sarcasm honed to a fine edge.

Not all that surprising. Went in discuss w/ my doctor about a non-medical subject and mentioned I was going to make an appointment in a couple of weeks for a physical. Five minutes later, I was undergoing one.

It's a ways!

Obviously you have access to the Internet. Have you ever heard of Google Maps or Mapquest?

#2  Perv probably doesn't dare to visit a doctor in Pakistan, too likely he'd be assassinated there.
