Fukushima has "neither treated nor visited" Pope Francis, a
staffer at the Carolina Neuroscience Institute, which the
Japanese neurosurgeon directs, told Reuters news agency on
Wednesday. Lori Radcliffe was quoted as saying reports Dr.
Fukushima treated the pope for a brain tumour are "absolutely
false". Dr. Fukushima did meet the pontiff and shook his hand
during a general visit to the Vatican this year, she added.
