Nobody who has gotten to be on that team would give it up for the chance to talk to the media.

They’ll lose that war rather quickly! They have no idea what that would bring to them.

Schumer spoke yesterday on “no SCOTUS nominee in an election year”. That’s a huge give-a-way: 6 months max

Any doctors here who can explain what “treated definitively” means in this context?

I'll take a shot at this (but I am a PhD not an MD). It means that the condition has been treated in a complete manner, such that the treatment is expected to control the condition. For Buzzy, it means that the tumor has been excised, with good margins--that is, an adequate layer of healthy tissue surrounded it, decreasing the chance that any cancer cells escaped. Despite that, the cancer still could have spread and was just waiting to grow after removal of the primary tumor.

The pancreatic duct and the common bile duct from the liver both pass through the head of the pancreas where they join and empty into the intestinal tract.

Bad design.

If a gallstone blocks the duct below where they join, the pancreas swell up like a balloon and explodes, dumping powerful digestive juices into the gut

Your body begins to dissolve itself from the inside out.

This is far more painful than it sounds.

I wouldn't wish it on even her.

Well, she’s certainly not an average serf. She’s one of four liberal justices remaining. One more young conservative Justice will give conservatives an almost bulletproof majority. Woe be the doctor who allows her to pass before the 2020 election...

They’re already shooting. They go to the Left’s Gun Free zones the Leftists setup for them. The larger those zones expand the more area they have to operate in.

If that’s the case POTUS responds with Cruz.

Thanks. Yet, wasn’t the treatment radiation therapy and a bile duct stent? I would think it impossible to claim that three weeks of radiation has contained a tumor, so I would imagine they could be saying that’s all the treatment they can/will give for it? Makes it sound inoperative?

This is exactly what happened to my brother in law. It was a very painful death, and it was not quick.

Very astute. I suspect that she was starting to show jaundice and they were forced to put the stint in. I had a friend who had a similar pathology that passed away and this procedure was used. Not that time estimates mean anything, he lasted exactly 8 months after this, but his functionality lasted only 3 or 4 months. Just a guess but she might have 4 months until it gets too bad to overcome with optics. However, trying to predict the timing of someone’s demise is a fool’s errand. Only God knows the day and the hour.

If she passes, the court will be settling cases 5-3 for a while.

Unless I'm wr..., wr..., wr..., incorrect, Schumer doesn't have the majority, and with the nuclear option in effect, I don't think he could stop it!
