Daniel Barenboim released from hospital

Conductor Daniel Barenboim has been released from hospital in Berlin after doctors found no signs of serious illness.

Not that I was aware that he'd gone in to hospital in the first place. Classical music conductor Daniel Barenboim has been in hospital in Berlin because he was suffering from "a disturbance of his sense of balance".

I'm a bit confused. I wake up every day with a disturbance in my sense of balance. Isn't that normal? Ah well, it's a good job I haven't been rushing off to hospital, because chances are that there's sod all wrong with me.

Certainly Barenboim, who as previously reported, was recently announced as the winner of this years Siemens Prize, was released after doctors found no signs of serious illness.
