“I feel a lot more confident and a lot more optimistic than I did two, three days ago,” Dr. Sava said at a press conference. “When he arrived he was in critical condition with an imminent risk of death.”
....But Mr. Scalise is expected to recover. “I think we fully expect him to be able to walk, and hopefully run,” said the trauma surgeon.

One huge complex with several hospitals. Don’t know which is which ?
Yes
Ronny Jackson, MD: President Obama tapped Dr. Jackson to be the lead White House doctor in July 2013.
Had a friend who was an anesthesiologist. He told me quite a lot about it. Various chemicals and gasses are used, and have to be quite precisely tailored to individual patients. XLNT nurses are crucial to the process. They closely monitor many meters, gauges, and patient responses, and a fraction of mistake can be deadly. "Putting someone under is easy, the challenge is getting them out in the same condition." You can easily kill patients or leave them with compromised mental and/or physical functioning.
So, for someone as shot up as Scalise, I can see how it required an "amazing" anesthesiology team to keep him alive and pull him through.
Remember that Donald grew up in Norman Vincent Peale's church, which he attended for fifty years. It was and is about the Power of Positive Thinking. Plus, what would Scalice's family think if Donald gave an iffy statement? I think it's the president's job to buck up the troops at a time like this.
The President didn’t make this up on ‘positive thinking’. He was being fed real-time reports on the situation and was told as the media reported that Scalise was in good shape and expected to survive.
There’s a background on Sava that is not good. As long as he was dealing with low-level nobodies, he could do his dirty work. When he encounters a high-profile person, he can still get away with dirty deeds. But when the President sent over a WH Physician to peer into the situation, Sava suddenly backs off.
That’s all I will say for now.
My take on Dr. Sava is that he is a fine physician.
Do you have any idea who Sava is? If you did, you would be skocked in horror.
And yes, he would be expected to do this turnaround because the heat is on him now. Letting Scalise go under would risk bringing out the full horror show.

Dr. Sava was the doctor of record for Seth Rich who should have recovered.

Here’s a link that mentions Dr. Ronny Jackson’s visits.
Thank you for not doing that. :)
That’s very interesting, Hostage. I wonder whether Scalise has some kind of security team at the door to his room 24/7.
He should be buried in an unmarked grave, under a pile of pig manure.
“Dr. Sava was the doctor of record for Seth Rich who should have recovered.”
So he’s the doctor who visited Obama’s White House within days of Rich’s death?
If he was Seth Rich’s doctor, then he can kill Scalise, too.
About the bullet... I'm not aware of any credible reporting about what kind of loads he used. The media are collectively ignorant about firearms. I think (that means I'm not sure but I'll go with what I heard, I think it may have been from Hannity) he used an SKS rifle.
The SKS predates the AK-47, but is chambered in the same caliber, 7.62x39, which was notoriously used against American servicemen in Vietnam and was the mainstay of the communist and third world for decades. It's still around, obviously...
Anyway most of the ammunition that one commonly finds for this cartridge is "ball" ammo, with metal jacketed bullets that are probably similar to what one would have found in a Soviet armory. Hollow point or soft nose bullets are probably commercially available but not with the ubiquity as the military-type metal jacketed bullets.
Fortunately this guy in addition to not being particularly competent with his weapon chose, if I heard correctly, the less lethal loading for it if he chose metal-jacketed, or "ball" ammo.
I would speculate that the bullet fragmentation, if the Dr. mentioned it, might have been the copper jacket separating from the bullet rather than a bullet disintegrating as some hollow point bullets might do.
Not to minimize the situation, mind you. Thanks to G-d almighty for answered prayers and credit to the talented team of physicians working on him. That's the only way he's still alive.
It's also helpful that the dead @$$#01e didn't have just a plain ol' Winchester .30-30 from the early 20th century with soft nose hunting bullets in the magazine, and some talent and practice in its use. Otherwise, as others have observed, the cops probably would have been casualties too and the situation would be much different.
So he’s the doctor who visited Obama’s White House within days of Rich’s death?

That sounds right, but I don’t have a source for that info.
see Hostage’s post #59.

Prayers up for Steve Scalise!
Get Michael Corleone over there stat.
I have a Norinco SKS in that caliber, you have to be a spastic to miss a target from 200 yards in.
Thank God this idiot couldn’t shoot straight.
Glad to see you are informed and aware. Yes, he visited the Obama White House as you described as did Capone, the owner of Lou’s City Bar & Grill. Podesta liked having his mtgs at the WH.
Let’s leave the thread undisturbed for now. There’s some real nasty matters coming to light and a lot of the thread’s posters appear to be newbies to the cloak and dagger horrors. I think it may be too much for some to handle. The TRUTH is however emerging on the swamp corruption little by little each passing day.
