Kissinger Released from Hospital in Seoul
Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was discharged from a Seoul hospital on Sunday after being treated for a stomach virus.
Kissinger suddenly came down with stomach pains on Saturday and was rushed to Yonsei Severance Hospital where he received a thorough check-up including an MRI and X-rays. Doctors concluded that there was nothing serious and after receiving simple treatment he was discharged at around 11 am.
The 86-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate arrived in Seoul on Wednesday for a security forum. During his five-day stay he also met with President Lee Myung-bak. Kissinger was originally scheduled to depart for Beijing on Saturday but due to his health condition he left on Sunday.
