James Randi på sykehus!

Fra The Bad Astronomer sin blogg:

I just learned that James Randi is in the hospital. He suffered a heart attack late last week, and had to have bypass surgery. His condition is serious but stable– doctors expect him to recover. He’s being sedated right now to aid in his recovery (he’s such a cranky guy that this is certainly for the best).

Randi is a major force in skeptic circles, and is the reason behind The Amaz!ng Meetings (...). He is also my friend, and so I’ll stay on top of this as much as I can. For more information, go to his website where they will have updates. This is also being discussed on his bulletin board.

OPPDATERING!: Thank you for the flood of good wishes flowing in for Randi’s speedy recovery. Randi is hanging in there, and while his recovery is very slow, it is proceeding well. We’re expecting a complete comeback, but it may take several months before he’s back to his usual self. In the meantime, look for some special guest commentators in the Swift commentary, and business as usual for the JREF.

For those who feel a need to help, please consider donating blood at your local Red Cross or Community Blood Center. Cards may be sent to Randi in care of JREF, 201 SE 12 Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316.
