Derryn Hinch, 80, admitted to hospital in Melbourne with 'scary' heart issue amid 'pretty serious' battle with skin cancer


Derryn Hinch has revealed that he was admitted to hospital last week with a heart issue.

'I found myself getting short of breath and I thought "this is not normal", so I went to my doctor and had an ECG (electrocardiogram)' he told the Herald Sun on Saturday. 'My cardiologist booked me into hospital and on Thursday they gave me an electric shock to the heart, which is pretty scary, but it worked' he continued. The cancerous spot just below his hairline was first discovered by doctors in February and he had it removed, but medics weren't able to take out the entire area.
