Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has been admitted to a hospital where he will undergo minor surgery to deal with a kidney stone.
Treasury spokesman Steve Adamske said Geithner began experiencing severe pain from a kidney stone during the night and was admitted to George Washington University hospital Friday morning.
Adamske said that Geithner will have what he called a "minor surgical procedure" performed Friday afternoon and expects to be back at work on Monday.

I have suffered several kidney stone attacks over the years. The pain is EXTREME.
However, I is my hope that Geithner’s surgeon is a republican, that has recently suffered a costly tax audit and the ravages of Obama-care.
Possibly so.
They will begin by going through the colon and then on through the esophagal tract and then into the brain where the kidney stones reside.
(Doc flunked basic med, but they approved him for this procedure.)
Never in my life have been in pain so badly.And that was when it was traveling to the bladder from the kidney. It was small enough to pass with no problem.
I don’t wish that pain on anyone.

If anyone is interested in the history of this minor procedure....
Those are the only stones he has!
Hmm, interesting variation of Schadenfreude. A literal translation of that would be 'vagina delight'.
Sorry for my misspelling...both work for me.
Now, Quag, you are a freeper in good standing. If you wish to remain so, rethink your position.....this is turbo-tax-cheat Geitner.....he deserves to have to piss a stone, like the rest of us.
No need for an apology - just gave me a good chuckle, that’s all.
