From Times Wire Reports

Former soccer great Diego Maradona surprisingly checked out of a hospital after 11 days in intensive care for heart and lung problems. He departed the Suizo-Argentina hospital in near-secrecy, leaving in a car with tinted windows. Maradona, 43, left to seek “more personalized treatment” from his own doctor, his medical team said.

Maradona was listed in critical condition for much of last week, breathing with the help of a respirator. He was rushed to the hospital April 18 with chest pains and fever.
