Prince Philip taken to hospital

[toalisi]

HRH Prince Philip suffered chest pains and has been taken to hospital for tests.

He is 90 and leads a very busy life.

LOL douglas!
I thought it sounded as if they were playing it down earlier this evening, so it is serious! An invasive procedure at his age must be quite a risk? We wish him well and to be home for Christmas.

I'm sure he'll be better looked after than his minions.

> We wish him well and to be home for Christmas.

Yes, but no more or less surely than we wish any other nonogenarian having heart surgery at the moment and who hasn't had a charmed life due to nothing more than an accident of birth...

According to the latest news, the doctors are saying he'll be fit enough for the Boxing Day shoot, as long as he doesn't hold a gun.......
I don't feel safe with one now, never mind at ninety years old......

> as long as he doesn't hold a gun

Every cloud...

Having read the posts of some, I can't believe that at this time they still cannot help but post their insulting jibs, and sick humour targeted at a very sick 90 year old.

Just goes to prove that we have some very sick (in the mind) and disrespectful individuals on this site.

I wish Prince Phillp a speedy recovery, and may he soon be able to join our Queen and the rest of their family for a well deserved holiday.

Get well soon your Royal Highness.

Get well soon Ryl Prince.

not a fan of his cant forget his dislike of Dianna but i wish him well

Having a stent placed is very routine. They thread a line from your wrist or leg, to the heart and expand the stent to keep the artery open. This is done while the patient is awake and he could watch on a monitor. He will probably be out tomorrow, if not sooner.

Phil the Greek seems to be a good humoured old cove, but very old fashioned in some of his views. Hope he gets well soon.

MR sorry about spelling headmaster

Nice to know the NHS does not discriminate and treats the rich as it treats the poor. This service is available to all.

Would they really have told him to mess himself in the bed as nobody was available to go and get him a bedpan?
If they treat everyone equally they would have done.
