King Fahd’s health failing
LONDON — Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd bin Abdulaziz’s health suffered a set-back after a relapse in the last two days, and doctors are making all efforts to keep him alive, Saudi medical sources said.
He's rapidly approaching stability
Doctors at King Fahd Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, where he is receiving treatment, are considering putting him on life-support, which necessitates inserting a tube through his throat to pump in oxygen since his lungs are not functioning properly, sources said. King Fahd is in the ICU in a semi-comatose condition, and breathes through life-support machine.
(scratches head) I thought they just said they were just considering putting on....oh, never mind. He's almost dead, Jim.
