Sweden’s newly appointed health minister, Elisabeth Lann, collapsed during her first press conference Tuesday, just one day after taking over the role from outgoing minister Acko Ankarberg Johansson.

Lann, a Christian Democrat, fainted moments after addressing reporters. “That’s what happens when your blood sugar drops,” she said after regaining consciousness and returning to speak with the press a few minutes later, according to Swedish media.

The incident occurred as Lann was being formally introduced in her new role. She is expected to lead efforts to reform Sweden’s healthcare system, a key issue for her party.

Looks like the new Health Minister is not so healthy after all.
And not a minister as well.

Socialized medicine to the rescue.

She should have had a candy bar in her purse, if she has problems with low blood sugar. I have some hard candy with me everywhere I go.

Great way for a politician to demonstrate relevant experience in the field.

Exactly! She should definitely be in charge of the countries Health and Welfare system being so advanced in her field.

Stupid hag..

What did it get to? 70 (3.8 mmol)? Drop to 40 and then give me that line. Might be more believable.

Neighbor tossed her water glass in failed effort to grab the falling body. I would have calmly continued sipping the water and enjoyed the show.
