Senator John McCain Undergoes “Minimally Invasive Craniotomy”?…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | Jul. 16, 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 07/16/2017 2:32:05 PM PDT by libstripper

|THIS TEXT = TWO INCHES| (or 5cm) and that’s the size of the blood clot removed from the brain of Senator John McCain during a “routine annual physical”.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. The removal of the skull is not “minimally invasive” and the procedure to discover a brain clot is not conducted during a “routine annual physical”.

This was a planned procedure to remove the last bit of conservatism from his brain. It’s atrophied a lot from lack of use so it was pretty small, hence minimally invasive. Once he’s back at work, you’ll never even notice it’s gone.

"“That’s a huge brain clot. May explain a lot.” "Even more important is what it might lead to. All that blood had to come from somewhere or some thing. Unexplained bleeding, like McCain’s, is a prime symptom of cancer. There could be terminal tumor, like the glioblastoma that killed Teddy Kennedy that caused this clot. Time to wait for the next episode."

I am scanning the now 320+ postings over @ CTH. My focus is folks opining with a medical background, since I am not in that arena. You nailed it LibStipper, this maybe bigger than we realize, you don't open the skull and go home, and someone noted discussions with the family. Hmmm especially with HIPPA. I hate to be a cynic, but we are not getting the full story here. He is probably in worse shape than we know, just like when Hillary banged her head and was out of Commission for 2 months and we still so not have a straight answer as to what went on.

What makes me more cynical is a comment from a liberal friend involved with the "medical codes" and "common paperwork" and the interoperability and availability between providers. As they said, anyone can get your data ( HIPPA was never about protecting you, it was about them getting your data ), but isn't it funny we never get a leak as to the health of the vaulted 535 in DC?...

And..

It turns out you are right!! I know, most people think it means “Office of Personnel Management” but if you think about, “Other People’s Money” works just as well.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head. Remember that?

Dr. Egon Spengler: That would have worked if you hadn’t stopped me.

The people of Arizona need a full time, healthy Senator. That’s what they voted for and that’s what we’re all paying for. The nation’s business is being delayed because of this.

Many private companies have 65 year forced retirement and clear succession plans.

With all due respect, this 80 year old Senator undergoing brain surgery should resign immediately.

But he won’t.

Mccain needs to resign now. He’s old, he’s sick, he’s out of his mind half the time. Our Republican Governor Ducey will replace him with a real conservative who supports President Trump, hopefully Dr. Kelli Ward.

The most likely replacement would be Martha McSally, not Kelli Ward.

Good way to torpedo the GOPe healthcare bill without actually having to vote against it on the record.

At this point , just about any Arizona Republican would be an improvement over McCain.

I think Trump is draining brains first, then the swamp...

Right! He had a fairly incoherent, rambling interrogation the other day - but I guess that doesn’t narrow it down very much, does it?

5cm...that’s the size of the blood clot removed from the brain of Senator John McCain during a “routine annual physical”. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. The removal of the skull is not “minimally invasive” and the procedure to discover a brain clot is not conducted during a “routine annual physical”.

McCain's behavior is beginning to make a lot more sense, now.

This sounds like course of my younger sister Mary Beth’s battle with brain cancer.
It was very fast, October to the end of February and she was gone, 52 and the picture of health.

sounds like a tumor eroded a blood vessel and he had a bleed.
