Slipped Disk Won’t Hinder Blair’s Work

Blair, 52, left the hospital after treatment to go to his country residence, Chequers, his office at 10 Downing Street said.
Dr. Andrew Platts, the radiologist who treated the prime minister, said he had been given an anti-inflammatory injection that would probably correct the problem.
