Medical Problem Delays Yeltsin Trip
From Times Wire Reports
Boris N. Yeltsin postponed a trip to France because of a bleeding ulcer, and his doctors scheduled tests to see if it requires surgery. Yeltsin, 67, has been hospitalized five times since winning reelection in 1996. Regardless of whether the Russian leader has an operation, Yeltsin’s limited schedule will be scaled back even further on doctors’ orders. The president may be hospitalized for up to three weeks and should not travel abroad for as long as three months, doctors said.
