I used to work on the cardiology floor, had a cardiologist tell me that trying to do bypass surgery on a coke addict was like trying to sew through playdough.

Former President Clinton Admitted to Hospital
Friday, September 03, 2004

NEW YORK — Former President Bill Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital, a source confirmed to FOX News.

The president is undergoing heart bypass surgery after a source confirmed that Clinton was admitted after encountering a blockage in his arteries.

Clinton was one of the youngest presidents to have entered office after being elected in 1992. In July, he appeared at the Democratic National Convention, where he gave a rousing speech to rally support for John Kerry.

Sources gave no indication that Clinton would suffer any damage from what has become a frequently-performed procedure.

You have it it on the head. Ole Slick is a long time coke user.

As an RN who previously worked on a cardiology floor, I'd sure hate to have to take care of him.

FOX is still saying Hillary is upstate and not with him!

Very interesting, I did not know that.

Really? It weakens the cardiac tissue that much?
