for bronchitis treatment. The Pope spent three days at the Gemelli Polyclinic hospital in Rome, where he received antibiotics administered intravenously, after complaints of breathing difficulties.
The Pope has also had his fair share of health issues over the years -- last year, he began using a wheelchair after experiencing persistent knee pain. He also underwent surgery to remove part of his left colon in 2021 after a bout with diverticulitis, a condition that can infect or inflame the colon. Earlier this year, he said the condition had returned, but that he was not overly concerned.
"I think at my age and with this limitation, I have to save [my energies up] a bit to be able to serve the church or, on the contrary, think about the possibility of stepping aside. This I say with all honesty," Francis said during a news conference."It is not a catastrophe. It is possible to change pope."
