"Effort to Keep Defense Secretary's Ambulance Transport 'Subtle' Revealed in 911 Call"

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's 911 call revealed that an aide requested an ambulance without lights and sirens for his hospitalization, which was due to a complication from a prostatectomy. Austin's secrecy about his hospitalization and prostate cancer diagnosis frustrated many in Washington, leading to calls for his resignation. Despite this, President Biden has expressed his intention to keep Austin as defense secretary. Austin is now recuperating at home and undergoing physical therapy, with doctors stating that his prognosis for prostate cancer is excellent.
