Prince Phillip Update.

Apparently he's alive and well and said to be in good spirits in Papworth hospital. It also turns out that he didn't have bypass surgery. Instead he had a stent fitted. This involves injecting a small metal object known as a stent into an artery and then expanding it to widen the artery in order to increase blood flow. It's actually closer to a vaccination then an invasive surgical procedure. It also means that the most likely diagnosis is a heart attack brought about by pre-existing coronary artery disease. Or a Dr Freddie Patel special as it's known.
