Shukan Gendai claims individual from dictator’s Chinese medical team divulged information
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Japanese media, citing the medical team treating North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, say the failure of initial surgery has left the 36-year-old in a vegetative state.
Amid conflicting reports about Kim’s health, Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Gendai reported on Friday (April 24) that a Chinese medical team member on the mission to North Korea briefly explained the situation to its senior writer, Kondm Daisuke.
The medical expert said during a visit to the countryside earlier this month, Kim clutched his chest and fell to the ground. A doctor accompanying Kim immediately carried out CPR and took him to a nearby hospital for emergency care.
The doctor also requested a medical team from Beijing for assistance. At the hospital, prior to the arrival of the Chinese medical team, the North Korean doctor performed cardiac surgery but there were complications due to the hereditary dictator’s obesity and the doctor’s anxiety.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported Beijing sent a delegation led by a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party’s International Liaison Department. The team left Beijing on Thursday for an unspecified reason, but which is believed to be providing advice on Kim’s health.
The doctor’s anxiety. Ouch.
See, that right there is the downside of summary executions by antiaircraft cannon.
Sorta like kim chee?
If China attempts to take “hard control” of N. Korea will the N. Korean military be loyal to the N. Korean people, will they be loyal to China or will they unite with S. Korea and oppose China?
Could not have been a heart attack. He doesn’t have one.
Sounds like he had a pulmonary embolism which is generally fatal.
I expressed sorrow for any doctor treating him when this story first broke. While it is easy for us to joke about something like this, there are real human beings in North Korea who live the most miserable existence on the planet. Imagine the terror of this man who knows that the life of his own family will be forfeit if he fails?
That would be far worse than my own death. With that said, if these stories are true there will be a lot of uncertainty about the stability of the regime if his sister is not accepted by the military. It is not a good situation either way.
Who arranges his medical care, Benny Hill?
