Survival chances 'pretty good' for Israel's Peres: doctorJERUSALEM -- The chances of survival for former Israeli president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres are "pretty good", his personal doctor and son-in-law said Wednesday after the 93-year-old suffered a major stroke. "Chances of survival are pretty good." "Yesterday, Mr Peres in his office delivered a remarkable speech for about an hour to a very enthusiastic audience," he said. In the hospital he suffered a stroke, with a relative loss of consciousness and other neurological symptoms." When his sedation was lessened overnight, Peres was responsive, Walden said.
