He left the hospital after being treated for bronchitis and made light of his illness by saying: “I’m still alive you know”
Pope Francis left hospital and returned to the Vatican on Saturday after being treated for bronchitis, making light of his illness by saying: “I’m still alive you know.”
He greeted well wishers and talked briefly to waiting reporters, confirming that he would preside over the Palm Sunday service in St. Peter’s Square and give his usual weekly address to the faithful. He also signed the plaster cast of a young boy with a broken arm and waved from the window of his car as he drove away.“In a hospital there is a lot of heroism, lots of tenderness for patients. You know sick people, we are capricious. Capriciousness comes with illness. You need to be patient,” he said, praising the work of all the staff at the Gemelli.
