| 2013-01-04 |
No new news but it does give us a chance to run the vulture pic again...Q. how do you get medical treatment in Cuba? A. Grab a taxi because all the doctors are taxi drivers. Venezuela's President, Hugo Chavez, is suffering from "complications" brought on by a "severe lung infection" which developed after surgery, officials say. Mr Chavez, 58, had his fourth operation for cancer in Cuba on 11 December and then developed a respiratory infection. In a statement from Caracas, Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said the infection had "led to a respiratory insufficiency". Mr Chavez is due to be sworn in for another term in office on 10 January. "[Mr] Chavez has faced complications as a consequence of a severe lung infection," said Mr Villegas. |
