World: Yikes: French prez Nicolas Sarkozy rushed to a hospital

  • He was running and got a little faint. Sarkozy, who as European presidents go, is one of the healthiest (and depending on your persuasion, buffest), fell ill while running today and had to go to the hospital. Sound scary? Well, yeah, it kinda is. Word is that Sarkozy suffered from a vagal nerve attack, which can change the heart rate and cause a brief loss of consciousness. So yeah; sounds scary, but it’s likely he’ll be OK. source
