Winehouse rushed to hospital

Amy Winehouse was taken to hospital after an adverse reaction to prescribed medication, was released the next morning, and is reportedly in good spirits.

Amy Winehouse was rushed to University College Hospital in London on Monday night, after reacting to prescribed medication. An ambulance was apparently called to her Camden home after the singer began having fits. Police were also called to clear a crowd of photographers who were blocking the ambulance service's way. Idiots. Winehouse was released on Tuesday morning and reportedly "in good spirits".

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We were called at approximately 8.40pm to an address in NW1 to reports of an adult female taken unwell. We sent an ambulance and a fast response car and the patient has been taken to hospital".

A Scotland Yard spokesman added: "We were asked to assist the London Ambulance Service leaving the vicinity where a crowd of photographers had gathered".

Upon her return home, the singer's spokesman Chris Goodman said: "[Amy] had a bit of a scare yesterday because of a reaction to treatment. She was kept in overnight purely for observation. Amy is at home now after leaving with her father and manager. She is having a rest. She was taking a new [medication] as part of her anti-drug treatment program. And it was an adverse reaction to that new drug. You have to try different things but unfortunately this was not the right one".
