Mubarak facing stroke risk
2012-06-11
Hosni Mubarak may suffer acute cirrhosis a stroke at any time, according to an official in the Torah prison where the Egyptian ex- president is presently serving a life imprisonment, Xinhua reported.

According to MENA news agency, the official said that MubarakÂ’s health was seriously deteriorating, and he was having irregular heart beats and difficulties in breathing.

Mubarak is suffering a breakdown and has been put on the ventilator for long hours, the source said, adding that he is likely to be transferred to a military hospital.
Put on a ventilator for 'long hours'? That's not good. That suggests that he's been intubated or has a tracheostomy.
The Egyptian former president was put in prison last week after a criminal court in Cairo sentenced him to a life imprisonment for charges of complicity in killing protesters opposing his rule.

#3  And thus Mubarak refutes Milton and Khan:

Have you ever read Milton, Captain?
Yes.
I understand.
Lieutenant Marla McGivers.
Given a choice
of court-martial or accompanying them there...
It will be difficult.
A struggle at first,
even to stay alive, to find food.
I'll go with him, sir.
A superior woman.
I will take her.
And I've gotten something else I wanted--
a world to win,
an empire to build.
This hearing is closed.
It's a shame for a good Scotsman to admit it,
but I'm not up on Milton.
The statement Lucifer made when he fell into the pit.
"It is better to rule in hell
than serve in heaven."

(Not...)
