Kim Jong-il - Indication of Deteriorating Health Emerged Since Sept.

Sources from Dandong, “Many reputable foreign doctors went to Pyongyang in Sept.”

Since last September, three months before N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il’s death, there were indications that his health was deteriorating.

According to what sources on N. Korea in Dandong, China, said on Dec. 23, many reputable foreign doctors from Hungary, France, and China went to Pyongyang via China.

One source said, “Those doctors were all heart specialists. It is my understanding that they went there in a hurry at N. Korea's request.”

Another source said, “Rumors were circulating in Dandong area that foreign doctors were going into Pyongyang to treat Kim Jong-il. However, Kim continued his on-site tour and looked active. We figured that it was just a temporary problem and not a serious one.”

I think the dictator ignored the need for early intervention like with a cardiac stent, bed rest and medication. He thought he would live forever. And in the end his own arrogance brought about his demise.

He was smoking despite having had a stroke. He also staged public gatherings where he drank heavily as if to display that he were OK. Smoking and drinking lots of hard liquor do not help as far as know. The man had stroke, heart attacks and was diabetic. He was also reportedly undergoing regular dialysis.

On top of such risky behaviors, he could have felt that he had recovered enough and threw away all precautions his doctors asked him to take.

I was pretty much convinced that he would do himself in a lot earlier than many experts believed, because of those risky behaviors. Many old sick people also have the tendency to recover unexpectedly before their final death.
