The most luxurious suites of the New York Presbyterian Hospital, one of the most respected medical centers in the world are all busy. That does not mean, however, that a particular type of virus is spreading among the streets of the wealthy Upper West Side. In fact, the responsible for the overbooking at the hospital is King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who traveled last week to the United States to treat a blood clot that ended up hurting his column.
* During his stay in the institution, the Saudi king preferred to rent all the rooms available at the more luxurious floor, despite using less than a third of the space, to feel more at ease. Needless to say, he paid the bill in advance, and also provided a very generous donation to the hospital.
