Doctors order Imran Khan out of election campaign after fracturing spine Doctors at Shaukat Khanum hospital, set up by Mr Khan, said he was in good spirits and would make a full recovery despite fracturing three vertebrae - two in his back and one in his neck - and a rib. "The most important thing out of all this is the spinal canal is intact and Mr Imran Khan is in full control of all his limbs and his body functions," Dr Faisal Sultan said at a press conference in Lahore. We are very confident that all these fractures will heal with time and will heal completely and allow him to be fully, completely functional and fit as he always is. The injury is a considerable set-back. Mr Khan is at the centre of PTI campaigning, and his series of electrifying rallies has been one of the defining features of this year's election. Anila Khawaja, a senior official with the party, said it would be a mistake to think the campaign would suffer. "If that's what people think then they are in for a surprise," she said. He has built a strong team, which is working hard to make this all happen. He is still our leader even if he is not with us. She said Mr Khan has been meeting party officials and keeping close control over the final days of the campaign, which officially ends on Thursday. He has already managed to dominate headlines and put other party leaders in the shade with an address recorded from his bed, hours after being admitted to hospital. In it, he said he had completed his work. "Now I want you to take responsibility," he told supporters. If you want to change your destiny, I want you to take responsibility.
