Sharon Was Incapacitated on Night of Stroke
(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn, Gideon Alon and Mazal Mualem - Prime Minister Sharon was not qualified to make decisions the night he was hospitalized for a stroke on Dec. 18, his physicians said Monday at a press conference in Jerusalem. The physicians said Sharon recovered quickly and was functioning properly the next day, but that the stroke was not considered "mild," as originally had been reported, since it lasted more than 24 hours. Prof. Tamir Ben-Hur of Hadassah University Hospital said Sharon came to the hospital because he was having difficulty speaking. However, Sharon was able to describe exactly what happened the night of his hospitalization, signaling that the speech problem had not been a sign of a confused state, Ben-Hur said.
