Sharon to Be Kept in Medically Induced
Coma for Up to Three Days to Prevent
Further Damage From Stroke
By RAVI NESSMAN
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM - Doctors said Thursday that
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will be kept in a
medically induced coma for up to three days to
prevent further damage from a massive stroke.
His sons held a bedside vigil and state media
broadcast mournful songs.
Hadassah Hospital's switchboard was flooded
with get-well messages and the nation's top
rabbis called on Israelis to rush to synagogues
and pray for the 77-year-old ex-general,
whom many saw as the best hope for peace
with the Palestinians.
It will be many years before another
Israeli prime minister will do what
Sharon has done.
I wish him a speedy recovery.
