“Doctors in Israel have admitted making a mistake in December when they treated the then prime minister, Ariel Sharon, with large doses of blood thinners after a mild stroke, according to a TV investigation broadcast yesterday.
Mr Sharon has been comatose since suffering a stroke on January 4.
Channel 2 TV quoted doctors who treated him at Jerusalem’s Hadassah hospital as saying that the anticoagulants given after a minor blood clot two weeks earlier might have caused the debilitating haemorrhagic stroke.
One of the doctors spoke of a “great failure” in the treatment of Mr Sharon, 78.” reports The Guardian and The Jerusalem Post.
Scary. You’d think the Prime Minister receives the best medical care….
Update (4/20): Denial at The Jerusalem Post.
