Bill Clinton rushed to Columbia Hostpital in NY for quadruple bypass surgery.
True enough.
Actually, from the little I've heard in the confusion, it sounds like an ongoing series of minors, leading to denial and then to an inability to ignore the problem, that led to a doctor's appoint for a checkup which found an imminent massive probable and led to him being scheduled for surgery.
For those who are confused about the possibility he might have surgery tomorrow, he'll be under assessment and loaded with monitors and emergency equipment in the ICU...and if the signs show somebody needs to do the surgery on a Saturday or Sunday, that's exactly what will happen. This happens for peasants, too.
Thanks for sharing that. Like Cargo Cults, one intellectually knows that such bizarre belief systems exist, but never expects to encounter them in real life.
I don't wish him harm. I don't really care any which way. Whatever will be will be.
You then might be surprised to learn just how much humor helps patients in his position.
Last Monday, I nicknamed my MIL the "Bionic Woman" and am hoping it sticks. Humor helps recovery. Clinton's a politician. It's harmless political humor, which he had nothing to do with but no doubt "gets". He had nothing to do with that particular joke, but I betcha he knows exactly where it came from.
I've accused him of a lot of things over the years, but being humorless was never one of them.
I've read drily humorous posts from you before. If you lost that temporarily, I suggest you find it.
Wow - hadn't thought of that one.
SYPHILIS which does cause lesions.
So true! Laughter is the best medicine.
I agree. Don't remember seeing anything about we should only forgive those whom we think are "ok"....in fact, just the opposite.
I wish him well, even though I hate his causing 911. One thing is certain, he will have to change his lifstyle big time. He evidently has not been taking good care of his health. You would think that an ex-President would have more brains then that! I know. I am a bypass patient myself, and I would not wish that procedure on my worst enemy. The Lord is giving Bill Clinton his just due for causing the murder of innocent Americans and fine military personnel by not protecting the citizens of the USA!!! Whatever goes around, comes around!!! I believe in the long run this will kill Hilllary Clinton's chances for a POTUS run. We shall see how Mr. Clinton handles himself after his body has been altered significantly, and his womanizing is seriously curtailed..
To some, Bill Clinton was the "smartest president ever". Well, it was apparent a decade ago that Big-Mac-eating Clinton wasn't too concerned about his diet then.
Ummm... *ahem!* Well......... Forget it. No comment.
Darned straight it is.
Get well soon, Bubba. We need you for contrast.
When the talking heads annnounced this clymers NEW problem, I misheard them and thought they said "HARD attack" and just figured he was UP to his old tricks again.
Hope the surgeon's a Republican.
And dontcha just love the timing. This arsehole will do ANYTHING to drag the spotlight back onto his own sorry arse!@!@
Doctor on CNN told James Carville this surgery is the most common surgery performed in America today.
I HAVE to put in my 2 cents here (okay... that's what it's really worth). I've been here, with most of you, since '98 (2nd handle) denegrating and pointing out the obvious affects of Bill Clinton's "leadership."
But, I must say, I agree with the believers here; this man needs to be saved. I pray that he is truly saved. This is our main responsibility as believers: Praying for those who need to be saved.
I pray this man survives and lives a long life, so that he may come to know God. I pray that he repents and makes it to the Kingdom of Heaven. I pray that this experience changes him and elevates him to a position of strength and advocacy FOR God Almighty.
Okay, sermon over.
This is one of those times I remember that mama would have said not to say anything rather than what I want to say.
You're right. I hope this is his wakeup call.
