LOCAL : Hahn Released From Hospital
County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, hospitalized for influenza and chest pains, was sent home today and told to rest for a week. Doctors said he didn’t have a heart attack.
“He’s doing fine,” said Hahn spokeswoman Lynn Sakamoto. “He wanted to come to the board meeting tomorrow, but the doctors insisted he stay home and rest for a week.”
Doctors told the 70-year-old supervisor he didn’t suffer a heart attack and his chest pains were apparently related to the flu.
Hahn complained of chest pain on Friday and was taken to the cardiac care unit at Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital.
He went home before noon Monday.
The Second District supervisor suffered a stroke in January 1987 and returned to work in a wheelchair that July. He suffered a post-stroke seizure in September, 1987.
Hahn was hospitalized again in June, 1988, for prostate surgery. In September, 1989, he was treated for a respiratory infection.
He was elected to an unprecedented 10th term in 1988.
