President's personal physician Prof. Rafi Valdan says Peres doing extremely well after collapsing Saturday
President Shimon Peres was released from the hospital Sunday morning after recovering from Saturday's incident, in which he briefly lost consciousness. The president's personal physician, Prof. Rafi Valdan said earlier that Peres was doing extremely well. Peres collapsed during an event at the Yitzhak Rabin Center in northern Tel Aviv Saturday evening, and was rushed to Chaim Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer. The president recovered almost immediately, but was admitted for a series of tests nonetheless. Sheba's Chief of Staff Dr. Ari Shamis and the medical center's director, Prof. Ze'ev Rothstein, both said the bout was typical of people who have an unusual workload. "He is doing extremely well and all his test results came back normal. I expect him to return home this morning," said Valdan.(09,19)
