Bill Clinton rushed to Columbia Hostpital in NY for quadruple bypass surgery.

I find it odd that suddenly, one could need quadruple bypass surgery.

Not odd......when ny dad had this done....he was only supposed to have a stent ....but it turned very serious when they looked at his veins..

Nurse Ratchett....pick up the phone....enema duty required

CNN just report he has gone in for a check up, complaining of chest pains. He has also been on the South Beach Diet.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Hmmnnn, did he ask if there were any members of the "Great righ wing conspiracy" on the operating team?

Oh well, I sincerely do hope he comes through it all OK

A treadmill test will reveal these blockages. I had one a month ago and everything was clear.

With imaging now, cardiologists can view the entire heart and proximate vessels leading to it.

I'll Pray that he stays with us until 11/2/04 8:15pm PST. After that...

Assuming all goes well, and I hope it does, what is the typical recovery period for a quad bypass?

[So Cal Rocket]

I wonder how they're reacting over at DU.

I can't resist.... looks like Zell Miller gave Clinton a heart attack.

[Flashlight]

wouldn't wish that on anyone. let's hope everything goes well.

[LisaFab]

I hope he recovers fully for no other reason than he will continue to be a burden to Hillary.

Oooh. He's a relatively young man and should be a thorn in the side of Madame Hillary (!), as well as the rest of America for some time.

I find it odd that suddenly, one could need quadruple bypass surgery. Wouldn't this have been coming on for some time?

My fil has had heart problems for years with blocked/clogged arteries .. he avoid bypass surgery for a long time .. changed his diet, medicine and all that

He had a heart attack and couldn't avoid surgery any longer

[SaveTheChief]

Did he at least pick up the split?

[skaterboy]

I detest him but hope he is ok

[stuartcr]

How would someone suspiciously time a need for quadruple bypass??

[mewzilla]

That's what I was wondering. Maybe he put it off. Some of our family members have. Clinton's also fairly young, so if they have to do this more than once, maybe they wanted to wait as long as they could.

it's Bush's fault
