After Buffett's fall off stage, timing was of the essence to make sure he would be okay. Fulde found that he still had a strong heartbeat, then stayed by his side once he was finally taken to St. Vincent's hospital. There, Fulde helped conduct a brain scan, and kept him awake just in case things got worse.
Ultimately, Buffett only needed several stitches, as he was not seriously injured after all. But although he was released from the hospital today, he will still need a bit of rest after what happened. Reportedly, he was blinded by flashing lights, and couldn't see where he was going when he stumbled.
