Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita was released from Hadassah Hospital in Yerushalayim on Tuesday morning, 17 Tammuz 5773.

The Gadol Hador was admitted for tests on Sunday, 15 Tammuz, after complaining of excruciating back pain. It appears that a CAT scan failed to reveal any fracture, which doctors believed was the source of the pain, related to a recent fall the rav sustained in his home. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=170910

The rav was given a number of injections intended to significantly relieve his pain. He is reported to be in good spirits.
