No and not much on his website:

“ALERT: Rush was admitted to a Honolulu hospital Wednesday and is resting comfortably after suffering chest pains.
Rush appreciates your prayers and well wishes. He’ll keep you updated via the website. Friday’s show will be a Best of Rush.”

If he isn’t out by next Monday, I hope they get him a mic and internet connection for his hospital bed! This past week has sucked during my lunch hours with him being away.

As long as his mind and voice are functional, get him on the air! lol

I can’t believe the lack of coverage on this extremely important story! Fox News has been NOWHERE on this, and even Rush’s website is giving scant details.

The media should leave 0bama’s Hawaiian vacation site and park out in front of Rush’s hospital. Even if the MSM doesn’t like him, at least FNC should be there 24/7!

I’ve been looking for news as well. Nothing. I am a 24/7 member and there is no new news.

WOAI (San Antonio) radio today played several clips of his voice in between ‘Best Of Rush’ segments and the announcer said ‘We’re praying for you’, which alarmed me.

But so far can’t find anything.

Oh yes, by all means bother the crap out of everyone involved.

Perhaps there is no news because he is a private individual who wants to be left alone while he's feeling under the weather. Geez.

Leave the guy alone.

....and even Rush’s website is giving scant details.

Two possible reasons I can think of for this fact are 1)he simply doesn't want many details released at this time (which,of course,is his right) and 2)things might be less than rosey regarding his condition and/or prognosis.

I’m trying to hope that no news is good news but with each passing hour with absolutely nothing from any source I’m growing increasingly uneasy. Somebody has to know something . . .

I just did a google news search and found nothing new. They should have him diagnosed by now (angina? heart attack? esophageal spasm?) and should have issued a report (I am a physician). The blackout tells me that it IS something of a concern, likely a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or an "incomplete" heart attack of a sort known as "acute coronary syndrome."

Many different things they can do, so we must stay tuned. I would guess that we'll know something by the end of today.

Fox and Friends reporting this morning that he was up and about, joking with doctors and nurses.....but still also resting comfortably when needed.

Something like this happened to me in 1995. They took tests and monitored me for about three or four days and then found out I needed some stints in my arteries. Back then they couldn't take care of that on Maui so I was flown to Honolulu and they did the stints over there. All together I was in the hospital for at least a week or ten days and that was with them not cutting me open but putting a tube in my artery in the groin and going up to my heart area that way. They don't even put you out so I watched the whole thing on a TV type screen as they worked.

He’s in a thin paper hospital gown that opens in the back.
He is sitting in a cold plastic chair, in a cold hospital hallway, waiting for two hours to get an x-ray, before totteling on to the lab to get his blood drawn, so he can move on to....When the tour is over, we will hear from Rush. He’ll be fine.

I sure wish he was back on the mainland of the USA.

Needing emergency care is difficult enough over a holiday but being on the leftwing island makes me very nervous for Rush.
