From the Jerusalem Post:
Four doctors at Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital in Jerusalem are fighting to save the life of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon after he suffered a massive stroke late Wednesday, which caused extensive cerebral hemorrhaging.
As of 4 a.m., more than four hours after it began, the surgery at Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital in Jerusalem was still in progress. The main part of the operation, in which the blood is drained from the brain, has ended.
According to a medical expert, the procedure is life threatening. Asked what are the chances of surviving this type of surgery, the doctor replied, "Let's be optimistic, some people survive it."
I as write this it is 6:30 am in Jerusalem, so the report is at least two hours old.
UPDATE: When I got back from helping my son with his geometry homework, there was more bad news for Sharon.
After a six-hour operation for cerebral hemorrhaging that continued for most of Wednesday night, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was returned to the operating room after a CAT scan revealed additional areas of cerebral bleeding.
If Sharon survives, it is difficult to imagine that Sharon can resume his responsibilities as Prime Minister and as head of the new Kadima party.
