JERUSALEM, Jan 6: Prime Minister Ariel Sharon remained critically ill on Friday after undergoing a new three-hour surgery to stop fresh bleeding in his brain.
Doctors said a brain scan following the new operation, his third in less than two days, showed the haemorrhaging had stopped, but added that he remained in a ‘critical but stable’ condition.
Mr Sharon’s chief surgeon said: “He is doing better. We need to wait two or three days. We are going to do another scan and if there are no other problems we will start to bring him out of the coma,” the surgeon added.—AFP
