Medical staff also have removed a tube that had been inserted into Scalise’s abdomen to prevent fluid from going into his lungs while he was sedated, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the congressman’s medical status.

Family or friends can know about a procedure without doing it themselves
It’s best not to jump to conclusions.
