N. Korea: Japanese Weekly "Kim Jong-il had heart surgery"(coronary bypass, from German source)

I posted a short news report on this earlier today.

N. Korea: Kim Jong-il Suffered Heart-attack and Hospitalized Recently (Japan's Shukan Gendai)

At the time, the account is sketchy. Now we have more detailed information on what happened.

It is hard to believe that six German doctors were dispatched to just operate on an (ordinary) N. Korean worker. Whoever he is must be really an important figure. The worker may well be Kim Jong-il.

Just once I'd like to see a surgeon.."drop a stitch".

How he could have changed the world.

We know this story is a hoax. Kim Jong-il has no heart.

Cost Estimate / Appointments Once your medical requirements have been ascertained, you will be advised of the possible duration of your stay at the DHZB, the intended treatment plan and an estimate of all the costs. Provided either your insurance company or you yourself undertake to pay these costs, we will then request that an advance deposit be paid into a specific bank account of the DHZB. Once this has been received, we will offer you several admission dates. Confirmation of one of these dates is necessary so that we can plan your stay with us. Travel Assistance Whenever necessary, the DHZB will assist you in obtaining an entry visa for Germany by directly contacting the German Embassy in your home country. Accommodation Unlike many institutions, we have our own guest-house, which is located in the hospital grounds and where family members and other individuals accompanying the patient can stay. This is a special service provided for all our patients. Alternatively, the DHZB can help you to find a hotel to suit your requirements in terms of price, location and personal preferences. In some instances the hotels offer special discount rates for our patients and accompanying persons. Transportation Service Once the dates have for your stay at the DHZB have been finalized, we can arrange for you and your family members to be met at the airport and taken to our guest-house. Also, upon your departure from the Institute we will arrange your return journey to the airport. Language Assistance / Interpretation Services Should German not be one of your languages, we can provide an interpreter so that you can communicate freely with the doctors and nursing staff. However, most of our doctors and nurses speak English. We also supply interpreters for other languages, including Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.

They do not mention the special trans-Eurasian house-call for heart surgery. I wonder how much it cost.:-)

I was thinking the same thing, according to Michael Moore we should be going over there for good medical treatment, not the other way around.

He already looks like one; might as well sound like one too.

Too bad Kevorkian couldn’t have attended the surgery. I hear he’s out of jail now.

I think there is cause for two mysterious assisinations of foreign world leaders (hopefully on the same day). Can you think of which two might be cause for some quiet celebration?

It has to be easier than war and do what they do, deny everything.

(Just a fantasy)
