Thoracotomy on Crosby
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) BURLINGHAME (California), January 14.
The American entertainer, Bing Crosby, was placed in an intensive care unit in the Peninsula Hospital last night after surgery, lasting 2J hours, for the removal of a large abscess on his left lung. Dr Stanley Hanfling, Mr Crosby’s personal physician, said that about two-fifths of the lung was removed, along with an abscess the size of a small orange. There was no indication of cancer. The famous singer was reported to be in a satisfactory condition late last night.
