Pres.-Gen. Dodger in hospital after fall

by Mike A.L. Caron

President-General Dodger of Zion is in the National University of Azzion Medical Center tonight, listed in good but guarded condition, after sustaining a fall.

President-General Dodger was in attendance at the ceremony commemorating the opening of the embassy of The Yuniva, when she collapsed into the arms of her fiance, Mayor Markus Jonson of New Berlin, losing consciousness shortly after the fall. The cause of this fall was not clear at the time of this printing.

"She passed out," said His Majesty, King Josef II of The Yuniva, "I was about to shake her hand to thank her for the hospitality she's provided The Yuniva, when her eyes fell shut and she slipped back."

"I had to catch her," stated Mayor Jonson, "if I wasn't there, she could've cracked her skull open, and we'd talking about a state funeral right now."

This is not young President-General Dodger's first bout of bad health. On 11:04:2004, while celebrating Black Wolf Day with her family and close advisors, the 19 year old leader complained of chest pains and was rushed to Landavulven Capital Hospital, where doctors discovered an 87% blocked artery. She is due in surgery in two weeks.

Whether this blocked artery has a connection to her fainting episode is yet to be seen at the time of this printing.

Once Dodger regained consciousness, she was jovial about the ordeal.

"I was just in awe, that The Yuniva was the first nation to open an embassy here," she stated, "The people of the Democratic Federation of Azzion need not worry for me. I will be fine."
