I was discussing with a fellow Conservative yesterday this narrative about Ginsberg's fall that supposedly broke 3 of her ribs & allot of things aren't simply adding up.
First of all over the years I have had bruised ribs & I can tell you that it hurt like no other pain!
How does an 85 year old frail Woman break 3 ribs, goes home and only shows up at the hospital several hours later because of the pain & is now released less than 30 hours later? Something here isn't passing the smell test!
I told my friend "I highly suspect that this is simply a cover story for some other greater medical condition such as her ongoing battle with skin cancer."
Having lived in the Washington DC Area all my life & two trips to George Washington Hospital Center myself, I'm fully aware of the hospital reputation for top notch cancer treatment as I suspect that as a youth my Father received cancer treatments there.
As I told my friend, "Unless Ginsberg is Wonder Woman (No we don't need that visual to all you clever Freepers out there) no one of that great age breaks 3 ribs(Why were no EMT summoned by her staff as she could have puncture a lung) simply is allowed to go home for a few hours & then either is taken to GWHC by her driver or drives there herself!
To see what her real condition is I'd look to ambiguous NYT and Wa. Po. articles about her current health. They're often written ambiguously, like old Pravada articles, to disclose the facts in a way designed to hide the real truth from us yokels while disclosing it to the "sensitive sophisticates" who are really in the know.
Yep. I broke 3 ribs in 7th grade. Took 6 weeks before I was back on the football team.
If she previously had cancer it could very well be in her bones now and so, yeah, broken ribs but it may not be the whole story.
How does an 85 year old frail Woman break 3 ribs, goes home and only shows up at the hospital several hours later because of the pain.... Over my life I’ve had numerous broken ribs. Besides not coughing, sneezing, laughing, rolling out of bed, etc., I couldn’t even shiite without screaming nor couldn’t urinate without moaning.
Why do you even care?.... Because it is fake news?
Broken ribs have to heal as they are - you can’t put a caste on a person’s ribs. And she’s old - so broken bones are more common for smaller injuries.
The story might be truthful. Too bad the press isn’t honest... too bad we all have to make guesses. That said, my guess is it’s possible the journalist reporting the story was telling the truth.
At her age, 3 broken ribs would be a very serious injury. Broken ribs cause lung bruising and fluid buildup in the lung.
Pneumonia is a serious threat to someone even younger
“If she previously had cancer it could very well be in her bones now and so, yeah, broken ribs but it may not be the whole story.”
When I was in the army many long years ago a friend and colleague at the office had a similar situation. He’d been treated for cancer and started breaking his ribs. Then one of the broken ribs punctured a lung and killed him.
Also, with age comes a higher pain threshold. But, yeah, she needs to retire.
C’mon, you guys are acting like snowflakes. I’ve had broken ribs, and
it only hurts when you breath...
Alyssa Milano has offered to donate both of her kidneys to RBG.
It is a little-known fact that celebrity kidneys will repair broken ribs.
TBM!
i think this is perfectly plausible, and I also don’t see what the value of a cover story would be?
“You don’t walk quickly, you don’t cough,”
Like hell you don’t cough. You don’t want to, but you will. You try to cough as shallow as possible, find a position before you cough that is less painful. You will cough though
Lots of alcohol?
The kind you drink.
Some people fall when they drink too much.
And they don’t feel much pain.
I’ve been thinking about this allot.
Saw a Tweet this morning that her cancer is no longer in remission. Can’t verify that.
Would anyone accept the nomination after watching them destroy one man.
Heck, I just had pulled rib muscles, let alone broken ribs. It hurt like h*ll for weeks.
