This is his second admission this year for cardiac issues. While I wish him well, it does make you think about the immense stress our top leaders work under. The job takes a toll.

A respectful criticism: I hope this incident highlights the need for better, mandatory health check-up protocols for all high-constitutional posts. Prevention is better than cure.
