"Pope Francis Undergoes Diagnostic Tests at Rome Hospital"
Pope Francis visited a hospital for diagnostic tests after experiencing a mild flu-like condition, which caused him to cancel his scheduled public appearances. The 87-year-old pope appeared in a wheelchair at his Wednesday audience and had an aide read his speech for him. After greeting the crowd, he visited the Gemelli Isola Tiberina Hospital for tests before returning to the Vatican. The Vatican has not yet released details on the results of the tests.
