Algeria leader’s health improves in Paris
2005-11-29
ALGIERS - The health of Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has “clearly improved” after being admitted to a French military hospital in Paris, a government official said in Algiers on Monday.
Good Gawd! He's not... stable, is he?
Bouteflika, re-elected for a second-five-year term last year, was being examined at the Mal de Mer Val de Grace hospital after being flown to Paris on Saturday. The presidential office in Algiers said Bouteflika, 68, had problems with his digestive system and doctors in Algiers advised him be flown to Paris for checks.
Puking, was he? That's a bad sign. A very bad sign...
You weren't praying for sepsis again, were you?
“The state of his health has clearly improved after undergoing a medical check-up in Paris,” the official told Reuters. ”His health situation is not a cause of concern,” he added, when asked to elaborate.
Of course not, that's why you rushed him to Paris.
The official, who did not want to be named, declined to give further details, including on when Bouteflika would be discharged from hospital.
"No, you can't have ice in your drink. Now scram."
