Bush back at work after summit illness

HEILIGENDAMM, Germany (AFP) - US President George W. Bush spent several hours restricted to his hotel room at the Group of Eight summit on Friday after being struck down by a stomach ailment.

***

White House counsellor Dan Bartlett said Bush got up Friday and dressed and realised he was "very much under the weather," although the condition was "not serious."

Bartlett said: "I'm not sure if it's a stomach virus yet or something like that, but (he's) just not feeling well in the stomach.

"President Bush is slightly indisposed this morning and will rejoin the working meeting as soon as he can," Sarkozy said after an hour-long meeting in Bush's suite.

The White House said Bush had sent his regrets to the other summit leaders and that the US envoy to the Group of Eight, Dave McCormack, had stood in for the president at the meetings.

Bartlett joked Friday that Bush did not want to "follow in the footsteps of his father," former president George Bush, who fell ill and collapsed at a state dinner during a summit in Tokyo in 1992.

PASSING OUT DOESN'T
MEAN SLEEPING IT OFF

Alcohol Poisoning: A Medical Emergency How can you tell if someone is about to become a victim of alcohol poisoning?

And if they are what can you do to help?

Signs and Symptoms:

Unconscious or semiconsciousness.

Slow respiration (breaths) of eight or less per minute or lapses between breaths of more than eight seconds.

Cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin. In the event of alcohol poisoning, these signs and symptoms will most likely be accompanied by a strong odor of alcohol. While these are obvious signs of alcohol poisoning, the list is certainly not all inclusive.

http://www.brad21.org/alcohol_poisoning.html

Appropriate Action:

If you encounter a person who exhibits one or more of the signs and symptoms CALL 911. Do what you would do in any medical emergency--call immediately.

While waiting for 911 emergency transport, gently turn the intoxicated person on his/her side and maintain that position by placing a pillow in the small of the person's back. This is important to prevent aspiration (choking) should the person vomit. Stay with the person until medical help arrives. If a person appears to be "sleeping it off" it is important to realize that even though a person may be semi-conscious, alcohol already in the stomach may continue to enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. The person's life may still be in danger. If you are having difficulty in determining whether an individual is acutely intoxicated, contact a health professional immediately--you cannot afford to guess.
