FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
I'm glad I read this article, because I was really worried.
Inflammation can be nasty, but also can be controlled with diet. I don't think that Slick ever paid much attention to his diet until being on South Beach before his surgery, which did him a world of good. Could be he's back to his old rotten eating (and perhaps other) habits.
I do send up a prayer for his recovery. But there's a TEN OUNCE premie on another thread that is getting most of my prayers.
"Mr. Clinton will deservedly die a slow, horrible death."
Not nice. In fact, downright nasty.
Remember too, that should Bubba have an unforseen complication on the operating table, that the resulting State Funeral and the scene of a weeping, heartbroken Hillary Clinton will just about cement her status as the '08 nominee for the 'Rats.
I can hear Bill Clinton now, as he's rolled into the operating room, "I hope all you doctors are Democrats", and then thinking to himself "Say now, wait a minute..."
"Mr. Clinton will deservedly die a slow, horrible death."
Ouch! For those of you here who are Christians..Just a reminder..Luke 6:32-36.."If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And, if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And, if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners' expecting to be repaid in full. But, love your enemies, do good to them without expectation of getting anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
I certainly have not achieved this admonition as a Christian but it is what we need to strive for. If an individual or a group is actively seeking to do harm to persons or our society, we are justified in stopping them if we can. However, the Clinton's now have a legacy which will not be changed and therein lies the consequences for them..I do not believe it serves us here to be this vicious today and I hope we can offer up sincere, personal and group prayers for this former President as he undergoes this surgery.
When this first came out, the MSM was saying this was no big deal, blah blah blah.
My wife has worked as a critical care nurse for 15 years, many of them in surgical intensive care, when she heard what it was, she said "Those people are full of crap. This is not minor stuff."
I certainly do not wish him ill as a patient. I would like to see him answer for many things he was responsible for as President, though, particularly the transfer of technology to China and campaign money from China.
I understand your anger at the damage Clinton has done to the country, but please, think before you write things like that.
One of the differences (besides, of course, reality) between FR and "the other site" is...civility.
Clinton was a weak man who was offered temptation in many ways, and sadly, for him and our country, could not resist the temptation. As much as I dislike what he has done, I pity him.
'Mr. Clinton will deservedly die a slow, horrible death.'
Wow. Are you really THAT mean & nasty? Sheesh!
I thought I read here on FR (during his first surgery) that it is more difficult to do surgery on those who have used drugs (like Clinton). Something about it's difficult to sew up these folks...something about the muscles. Can anybody throw some light on this please?
Thank you.
Wanna bet he is not itching to give an Affirmative Action doctor "an opportunity" to work on him?

I agree with you but don't forget that if Bubba goes, so goes Hillary's prime political strategist, without whom her candidacy is meaningless.
President Reagan was and remains our shining star, but Clinton was and remains so heinous that he mobilised the conservative movement to fight and win. As such, we should be perversely thankful he came along.
Prayers for his recovery.
Regards, Ivan
I don't know about 'muscle problems'.
But I DO know that heavy drug or alcohol 'users' present difficulties for the anesthesiologist. The more you drink (or get high) the MORE anesthesia it takes to knock you out and keep you out. And if its a long operation this is a problem - a big problem.
In my 'younger days' I'd have a couple-three 'martinis' a day (after work). And when I had to go in for knee surgery and then back surgery, the anesthesiologist was NOT pleased with me. He explained the difficulties my drinking would cause him.
(I don't drink anymore)
IMO Clinton's cocaine use (alleged) was the reason his initial heart surgery was delayed for three days. They were waiting as long as possible for his body to purge the drugs in his system.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.
You are very welcome :-)
