(didn't Tony Blair have one),
He did indeed.He had electrical rhythmn reversion therapy for SVT. And the only reason we know that is because his medical condition was reported publically. I doubt he explicitly gave permission for that either. Both the condition and the treatment were reported publically and no fuss was made about that as I recall. Its still up on the bbc website let alone google cache.
Saying someone has had heart surgery is NOT the same as revealing someone's medical records or publishing something said to a medical professional in confidence. It may have been indelicate to put the fact up here and it is undeniably linked to wider battles but the original alleged behaviour was fairly serious too, especially coming from an examiner.
Seems like the matter is indeed closed and the offical policers of such things are dealing with it. Can only be good...
