Cong. Gloria Arroyo to undergo emergency surgery

This is just in! St. Lukes Medical Center has just released a medical bulletin with regards to the emergency operation of former President and incumbent Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo tomorrow. A titanium implant previously fitted in Arroyo's spine was said to have been "dislodged," causing pain at her right arm.



On TV Patrol, Dr. Juliet Gopez-Cervantes, Arroyo's attending physician, said the "revision of surgery" is scheduled on Wednesday morning and will last for at least 5 hours.



Arroyo underwent a cervical spine surgery because of “a damaged cervical spine with multilevel cervical spondylosis” last week. After discharged from the hospital 2 days ago, she has been staying at her residence in La Vista, Quezon City, to rest per doctor's advise. She sought medical check-up Tuesday after experiencing pain.
