Castro's Recovery

MADRID, Spain - Cuban leader Fidel Castro is making a “slow but progressive” recovery although his condition is serious due to his advanced age, a Spanish doctor who has examined him said on Friday.
Castro, 80, has suffered complications after undergoing surgery to his digestive system but could return to his normal life if he manages to make a full recovery, Dr Jose Luis Garcia Sabrido said.
“I have recent information that his recovery is slow but progressive,” Garcia Sabrido, who examined Castro in Havana late last year and is a consultant to the Cuban leader’s medical team, told Reuters.
Garcia Sabrido, head of surgery at Madrid’s Gregorio Maranon hospital, said the outlook for any patient of Castro’s age who had undergone complications after surgery, was very serious.
“For a patient of his age, who has had complications after an operation, it’s always going to be a general prognosis,” Garcia Sabrido said, when asked if Castro was in a “very serious condition,” as reported by Spain’s El Pais newspaper this week.
