Statement on Senator Kirk's Medical Condition
CHICAGO - A spokesperson for Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL) today released the following statement regarding the Senator's medical condition:
"On Saturday, Senator Kirk checked himself into Lake Forest Hospital, where doctors discovered a carotid artery dissection in the right side of his neck. He was transferred to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, where further tests revealed that he had suffered an ischemic stroke. Early this morning the Senator underwent surgery to relieve swelling around his brain stemming from the stroke. The surgery was successful.
