Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was admitted to a local hospital Friday where he will undergo minor surgery to deal with a kidney stone.Treasury spokesman Steve Adamske said Geithner began experiencing pain from a kidney stone and was admitted to George Washington University hospital Friday morning.
Adamske said that Geithner will have what he called a "minor surgical procedure" performed Friday afternoon and expects to be back at work on Monday.
The illness did force Geithner to cancel his Sunday appearances on three network news programs where he had been scheduled to promote the tax-cut deal that the administration reached with congressional Republicans this week.
WHEN GEITHNER GETS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, HE COULD ANNOUNCE HE WILL RESIGN TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY.
WHO WILL HIS REPLACEMENT BE? BLOOMBERG? VOLCKER? DIMON? HOENIG? BUFFET? SARBANES?
