HONOLULU -- Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital on Wednesday afternoon with chest pains, sources told KITV.

Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.

Limbaugh suffered from chest pains, sources said. Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.

He was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week. The country club is next to the Kahala Hotel and Resort.

The radio show host had been in the islands during the holidays. Coincidentally, his visit comes at a time when two of the nation's most powerful Democrats, President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are also staying in Hawaii.

Hey, pal.

Hi, Iam spelcjek. Luks goot 2 me!

"Art Bell really loved his wife that passed on. It was a shock when he married so quickly after Ramona."

He was on in the middle of the night here where I live. I leave my radio going all night and I used to catch some of him. What did his wife die of? I too was surprised to hear how soon he remarried. His new wife was a Phillapino wasn't she? And didn't they have a baby real soon? Also why did he pretty much give up his show?

[GOPrincess]

Thank God.

I misspelled the word. It should read Laperoscopy

Actually you are still incorrect...But I'm glad your cardiology team did a good job on you!!

I don't know, I thought of that after I posted. But I did just see this on the KITV site:

Limbaugh, 58, suffered from chest pains, sources said. Limbaugh was sitting in a chair in his ninth-floor hotel room at the Kahala when emergency crews arrived, sources said. He told medical crews that he was taking medication for a back problem, sources said.

Just now on TwitterCNN reporter

@CNNValencia Sources tell KITV Rush was sitting in his chair in hotel room on 9th floor at the Kahala Hotel when emergency crews arrived.

You’re right! I wonder where he’s residing now.

Last night was fun, talking about marrying Rush, wasn’t it?

I think I’ll try to find that thread to bookmark it as a reminder of how one day can be so carefree and happy and the next filled with worry, tears and concern about the same person.

I was almost hanging crepe and ready call off New Year’s.

[Mengerian]

How true. Every professional in the hospital is in scrubs, often color-coded by specialty (i.e. doctors in light blue, nurses in dark blue, radiographers in wine colored, orderlies in brown, etc.)

The picture CNN is using has 3 more chins. they are so petty!

[Nepeta]

He never speaks about his son.

I was surprised to learn that he has a son and daughter from an earlier marriage to an Okinawan. I do not think he ever mentioned them. When I worked nights, I listened almost every night.

[hennie pennie]

*ping*

[Miss Didi]

New thread up that he’s remaining overnight in the hospital. Still nothing on his condition.

[retrokitten]

You are silly. LOL

[Mr. Silverback]

Fair enough...thanks for the infor.

[celtic gal]

I can vouch for that. My dad was a General Surgeon. He got is first degree in English..a BA but his mother decided ( she was a teacher) that he should do something else with his life, that teaching would not be good enough so she insisted he go to Medical School. He could spell and write very well and often with great wit. But his penmanship...well it took me 4 years of being in college and away from home before I could translate it! LOL

[OldDeckHand]

"Yikes. I was hoping the Doctor would just be wearing a lab jacket and not "green scrubs""

I've got two brothers and sister who are doctors and a daughter in medical school. Every time I see any of them in the hospital, they're in scrubs. I wouldn't read too much into it.

“Fearless leader was born at Kapiolani,”

IIRC, that has never been substantiated.
The so called letter from Obozo was later retracted or dreamed to be a fraud.
No one knows where Obozo was born.

By the way, my brother was an intern at Queens in that time frame.

[The pain started in my right back]

That’s what happened to me also. I thought back to when Rush said on his show that he was standing because of back pain. IF he had an MI and IF he gets good care, he can survive this.

It’s been 15 years since my MI and am still going strong.

I just went to google and chose a Hololulu florist and sent him flowers and well wishes to the hospital at this address:

Rush Limbaugh
The Queen’s Medical Center
1301 Punchbowl Street
Honolulu, HI 96813
United States
808-547-4602

the number (I had to put one) was one I chose from the hospital’s link that was regarding to patient relations (I didn’t know what else to choose LOL)
