Posted by Susan T on March 1, 2021, 8:44 am

The Duke of Edinburgh has been transferred to St Bartholomew's Hospital for continued treatment, after 13 nights at another London hospital.

Doctors are treating Prince Philip, 99, for an infection. They will also undertake testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition, Buckingham Palace said.

The duke is responding to treatment and "remains comfortable", it added.

He is expected to remain in hospital until at least the end of the week.

I forgot about HRH's stent placement. He's in excellent hands and I wish Philip an uncomplicated recovery.

"Significant Shift In Mood" At Windsor Castle Over Prince Philip's Condition

"The mood at Windsor Castle darkened today after Prince Philip was admitted for heart tests as he continued to battle a raging infection, sources said last night.

And fears grew for the 99-year-old with medical experts warning he could be kept in for up to six weeks while he is treated for an underlying condition."

Further down in the article another Cardiologist states that for now all is speculation and we can't draw definite conclusions from the limited information we have. I agree.

This doesn't bode well. Philip has always pulled through before, but even the heartiest patient has only so many recoveries in them.
