Glenn Beck live thread 1/7/08

[Crazieman]

Okay, Glenn admits his surgery was butt surgery.

[Crazieman]

He woke up on the table.

Described alarm bells went off saying he stopped breathing, remembers nurses telling him to breathe.

[MHT]

Lypo or hemorrhoids?

[Fawn]

I’m listening. Do you know what kind of surgery he had? I know it has to do with his @$$.

[raybbr]

Was it for hemorrhoids?

[Ron in Acreage]

8 roids removed.

[Fawn]

Wow-—what could go wrong with that?

[SE Mom]

OMG

[Ron in Acreage]

It’s a serious procedure belive it or not. My wifes lawfirm had to represent a family of a patient who died from it.

[Crazieman]

More descriptive - surgery was finished. Anesthesiologist turned off all the stuff - glenn immediately woke up. Said he never saw anything like it.

The botched part is coming - apparently the hospital was full of jerks.

[LachlanMinnesota]

My wife says my hemorrhoids metastasized to my brain, so removal would be a problem ...to me.

[SE Mom]

Thanks:) I turned on the radio- listening to him now.

This is beyond belief.

[BallyBill]

Jeez, what people go through for a ratings stunt.

Note to Glenn: Layoff the Meds.

The botched part is coming - apparently the hospital was full of jerks.

So far, I don't hear anything all that out of bounds. It seems to he expected to be treated like royalty. Hospitals are not hotels. They are assembly lines for medical service.

[Fawn]

I got rudely interrupted at work ...lol. So the story is that the roid surgery left him in extreme pain?

[Ron in Acreage]

Not royalty. Just wants to be treated like a human being and not a hog going off to slaughter.

[Crazieman]

Extreme pain requiring a hospital stay. The hospital screwed up. No bedside manner. Not taking the breathing monitoring recommendation. Not helping him and his wife get to the room.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Does he say what hospital?

[barryg]

His voice sounds weird, doesn’t it?

[PJ-Comix]

Hemorrhoid surgery is completely UNNECCESSARY. Inflamed hemorrhoids is caused, as Howard Stern has said many times, by poor wiping. A good policy is to do your thing on the toilet in the morning and THEN take your daily shower. As my uncle used to say, “Sh*t, shave, shower, shampoo.”
