Firenze Sage: What’s wrong with PLO medical treatment? [PLO Abbas goes to Baltimore, USA]

  PLO President comes to  Baltimore, USA for medical treatment:  The Times of Israel reports: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was taken to a Baltimore hospital Thursday for a routine checkup, Palestinians said.

Abbas, 82, said he had been given a clean bill of health after visiting Johns Hopkins Hospital while on a visit to the US to address the United Nations. “Our presence here was a suitable chance for us to make some medical checks,” Abbas told Palestine TV, according to a Reuters translation. “We actually made those checks and we are out now and, thank God, all results are positive and are assuring. This is Godâ€s blessing on us.”

Initial reports had suggested that Abbas was rushed to the hospital, but Palestinian civil affairs minister Hussein Al Sheikh said the visit was routine. A spokesperson for Baltimoreâ€s Johns Hopkins Hospital, which treats many international patients, could not confirm Abbasâ€s visit.
