Justice Ginsburg’s “Bile Duct Stent” – A Treatment Used in Advanced Cases to End of Life Care
GP ^ | August 24, 2019 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/24/2019 5:50:04 AM PDT by mplc51

This is important because a biliary stent is only installed if a tumor was large enough to cause blockage of the bile duct from the liver to the intestine.

It is typically performed in cases where the patient has cancer on the duct itself and often predicates liver cancer.

Again the stent is typically only used in advanced cases and often only surgery is done for early cases:

We often can detect the truth by listening carefully to the media.


I’m old enough when we laughed at the people living in the USSR having to try to discern the truth from Pravda and Izvestia by reading “between the lines”. And now, apparently, we are living the same way.

You pose a proper question. When would Roberts have to make a decision on her removal based on her treatments and prognosis going forward? She just has to be currently convalescing after radiation etc.

Removed. Just going by what the news article said.

But that’s not what the article says as far as I can tell.

“If a normal regimen of radiation treatment is five days”

False premise. There are many, many different programs of XRT based on target location, tumor type, adjacent organs, dose and type of radiation, etc.

Weekly Rx is not at all uncommon.

I may be crossrefencing another article by mistake...sorry. There was another article speaking of “definitive treatment of a pancreatic tumor with no more cancer seen anywhere. This article spoke of ablative stereotactic radiation treatment and placement of the stent. So I probably conflated the two bits of articles together.

My bad!

Not a provision, a practice titled “the Biden rule” (yes, that Biden).

It is meaningless now because we have a majority in the Senate and the Democrats no longer have the ability to filibuster judges.

I think even the other article wasn’t suggesting removal. Rather the radiation was “definitive” in that surgery was not considered viable in her case, and as I have read elsewhere a third of deaths from pancreatic tumor occur with the cancer still localized.

It would be nice to see things play out to win instead of so genteel and all that rot. It is what the rats do.

“Lame Duck indicates the last possible year of presidency,...”

Until the media changed the meaning Lame Duck used to mean the few months between an election and the inauguration of a new President.

Lindsay Gramnesty agrees with Schumer, but Mitch said Month’s
ago that there would be a Confirmation in 2020 if necessary.

He pointed out the so called Biden Rule applies if the Senate and the White House ae controlled by two different Parties which is what happened woth Obama’s Nominee.

If the same Party runs both Institutions, no Biden Rule, period.

I’ll say October 10, the day after Yom Kippur. That way, she’ll have a chance to throw all her sins in the river before she goes to meet the Big Guy.

I'll go with the 8th. The Big Guy will be better able to apply justice to the Justice.

Like them, we look to news sources outside our own country for information on what's going on inside our own country.
