I don't know and don't really care what he says under anesthesia, but I suspect the demsa re genuinely worried about having their best strategist since FDR on the ropes. I am serious about the medicine given to heart patients. It dulls the mind. Perhaps they will find something with minimal side effects, but my father-in-law, mother, and my father, were seriously impaired by medication.

A friend of mine's father just had surgery. And he is an older man, much older than Clinton. It messed up his mind. It is still messed up a month later.

I mentioned my case only because it was funny, to me anyway, to learn that people will say strange things going in to or coming out of anesthesia. And, I know you are serious about the medicine given to heart patients. I'm sorry if I seemed uncivil; it was not my intention at all.

My maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather each reacted oddly to just about every medication they were ever given. My grandfather, who had Alzheimer's +, was given a tranquilizer because he would get very agitated and difficult for my mother to take care of. Instead of calming him down, he went outside and chopped wood for about three hours. He didn't recall doing that the next day and couldn't understand why his arms, shoulders and back were sore. But, he could not be stopped while under the medication. Medicine can be a blessing and it can be a curse and I'm truly sorry about side effects experienced by your loved ones.
