Only 2 days ago, his doctors gave a report that, despite his delicate health, did not presage what has happened. “President Silvio Berlusconi is currently admitted to the San Raffaele Hospital to undergo scheduled checks of his known hematological pathology. The advance, to today, of these controls responds to normal clinical criteria in medical practice and does not respond to any critical or alarming aspect”, the doctors assured last Friday.
