ALGIERS - Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has successfully undergone surgery for a stomach ulcer at a military hospital in France, the official APS news agency said on Monday. The 68-year-old president of the oil-rich North African state was flown to Paris nine days ago and admitted to Mal-de-Mer Val-de-Grace hospital on the advice of doctors treating him in Algiers.
"Whoa, boss! That's pretty yucky! You oughta have somebody look at it!"
"Whaddya mean, 'Have somebody look at it'? You're my doctor!"
"Yeah, but I ain't a magician!" |
APS did not say when the operation took place. Doctors at Val de Grace diagnosed a haemorrhagic ulcer in the presidentâs stomach and decided to operate, APS said.
"It's pretty yucky, Dr. Jean-Pierre! You'll have to operate!"
"I will? I have to?" |
âThis surgical act was carried out in excellent medical conditions and, like the post-operational phase, occurred in an entirely satisfactory manner.
"How was the operation, Dr. Jean-Pierre?"
"I'm satisfied!"
"How about the patient?"
"Do we have any bourbon?" |
âThe medical follow-up for the head of state has until this moment confirmed that his state of health requires no cause for concern,â the agency said, quoting a medical bulletin released by the presidency.
| Something isn't right here; awaiting details. |
"Do you concur, M. le Docteur?"
"Why yes, yes I do. I concur." |
