"Subtle Request: Austin Aide Urges Discretion in 911 Call for Ambulance"

An aide to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asked EMTs responding to his home to be "subtle" in their response, according to a 911 call. Austin's secret hospital visit, kept even from President Biden and other top members of the administration, was revealed after he spent two weeks at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for prostate cancer treatment. Despite the lack of communication, President Biden expressed confidence in Austin's leadership as he resumes his duties as defense secretary.
