George H Bush leaves hospital

Update: 2013-01-16 01:19 GMT
Former US President George H W Bush has been discharged from a hospital here, where he spent nearly two months receiving treatment for complications to bronchitis. ‘Bush has improved to the point that he will not need any special medication when he goes home, but he will continue physical therapy,’ Dr Amy Mynderse, the internal medicine physician in charge of care, said in a statement. The 41st US president was admitted on 23 November for bronchitis. Complications quickly arose, including a persistent fever, cough and bacterial infection, causing him to receive intensive care and leading to fears that the 88-year-old’s health would continue to decline.
