Pope Francis Discharged After 3 Days in Hospital

Francis spent his final days in the Gemelli hospital in Rome due to a respiratory infection.

Pope Francis left the Gemelli hospital in Rome, where he was after being hospitalized with bronchitis, and got out of the car on the way out to let the journalists know that he was fine: "I'm still alive," he said jokingly, but his voice was tired.

The 86-year-old pontiff, who has been in the hospital since Wednesday, left the Gemelli at 10:20 local time, sitting in the passenger seat of a small white Fiat car, accompanied by police and security personnel.
