[Bill] Clinton to have quadruple bypass surgery

WABC-NY Radio | 9/3/04

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

[curlewbird]

Just heard on radio news he was having pains, went to his doc for test, they took him to hospital for more tests, plan for surgery tomorrow (IIRC).

He needs our prayers. Let's all pray for President Clintons quick and complete recovery.

I'll let you pray on my behalf. I do not have the proper attitude for prayer right now. My prayer for him would be for a homecoming with our Lord.

It's possible that Joe Lockhart had just called to give him the overnite internal Dem poll reults..

I'm really disappointed by the ugly tone of many of the posts here. No one dissapgrees more with the Clinton vies of the world than I, but to wish him dead?

We demonstrate class not only in how we handle our own triumphs and crises, but also in how we react to the wins and losses of those who oppose us.

Too many BigMacs and Whoppers...
I actually heard the newscaster say that when reporting on this.

I didn't know that telling Whoppers caused cardiovascular problems.

I had chest pains for about a week before I went in. The River Denial is a tough one to cross when you're 45 years old, used to running 6 miles at a clip and doing 50 pushups every morning. Big mistake that I won't repeat.

...as I puff here on a cigg...guess it's time to quit again.

That would be a step in the right direction, friend.

Ok, now the timing of this IS suspicious ... Chris Wallace just said on FNC that heart surgery is "planned". Note: NOT imminent.

Not really .. When my FIL had his heart attack .. he went to the local hosital and had the balloon thing done and it didn't work

He was then transferred to a Boston Hospital for his quadruple bypass surgery .. it was a better hospital for this procedure

Remember - if we wish ill on anyone it will come back to us in a bad way. That is why the RATS are where they are. They are bitter negative people who wish ill on others.

Liberlas are the meanest people I know. For example, there is a liberal in my business networking group. He is the only liberal amongst about twenty of us. There are some of us who have thinning hair, some young some old, and this jerk makes a demeaning remark about bald guys with a snicker. I wanted to kick him in his liberal vagina. But I know better and remain positive, consistent, and unwavering. It drives them NUTS!

For medical people on this thread, could you please explain why no hints of possible heart disease showed up in his physicals during his presidency?

How would we know? He never released his medical records.

[beckaz]

Yep! Not cuz he's American, nor cuz he was Prez. Wish he makes it cuz:

a- it's the right thing to do (gotta force yourself sometimes)

b- I want him around to see his "legacy" and party sink further in doodoo (OK, so I have reprehensible tendencies)

c- not good political timing (for us) now.

[GovernmentShrinker]

The mods are really getting a workout here. Glad they're here to do it, but it's unfortunate that it's necessary.

[OESY]

He wouldn't have made a good president.

[kidd]

I wish former President Clinton a prompt and full recovery.

And even though former President Clinton will receive the best medical care in the world, because we have not yet fully succumbed to the call for socialized medicine, he and his doctors still need our prayers.

[Petronski]

He may have been a slick operator, but he was never as manifestly petty and pathologically dishonest as Kerry is.

I cannot fathom them well enough to do a comparison, but they're close.

[Guillermo]

No one is saying you should care, or post.

I've always been amazed at those who take the time to post posts such as yours.

[OESY]

upstate = upset ?

MSNBC is reporting he will undergo surgery Tuesday.

Well, given that I've gone through this with my favorite BIL for his second of his two bypasses and his heart transplant, he's going to have to have a heart cath & a number of other tests prior to the surgery. The one problem is that few of the docs and tech people will be around over the Labor Day weekend, although some are on call. Most likely they'll do the tests, then he'll sit, bored out of his gourd, Saturday through Monday.

[spectre]

He'll be fine since the Devil takes care of his own.
