MONTREAL — Former prime minister Jean Chretien was cracking jokes and telling stories one day after undergoing two hours of surgery to remove blood that had pooled between his skull and brain.
The 76-year-old arrived at the Jewish General Hospital Friday morning from Shawinigan, Que. after complaining of having difficulty walking.
A CT scan revealed a three-centimetre subdural hematoma, which shifted his brain about 1.5 centimetres. Medical staff said they were surprised by the result because Chretien was completely lucid.
Dr. Jeff Golan, the 33-year-old neurosurgeon who operated on Chretien, said he successfully evacuated the blood that accumulated on the right-hand side of Chretien's brain.

Chretien should be locked up for life.
Imagine if the fraud happened in the USA.
Again, Chretien would be locked up for life.
