Yeah, when I read that reports said he died from “overwork” I thought to myself, “It’s probably the opposite!” And sure enough, he’s been in a coma for years! LOL

All communists are liars.

Love how that DR. Squared things with his hippocratic oath. I wonder How many people died since then while he was maintaining secrecy on this issue.

Thanks to him, French intelligence has probably had a ring side seat when it comes to learning Kim’s health.

Brain surgeons and cancer specialists are not the same person, I believe. No sure if they are from the same hospital.
