When did it break in your news then because the procedure he had earlier this year or was it last - time just seems to fly these days was the second time that the problem with his irregular heart beat had been treated and public knowledge in Britain. The first time if I remember correctly he spoke about how he had felt when it happened I think he had some treatment to correct it (maybe just medication) but obviously that did work and he had to have the second procedure
It was probably nearly a year before Blair had this latest surgery.
