    He didn't go to hospital, he and his minders were very worried about the potential for other attacks. He was driven to his apartment in the Kremlin, and after his wife and sisters examined the wound, two surgeons were sent for. The surgeons were: Professors A Rozanov and W.M. Mints, they conducted the surgery in the Kremlin.
