They were checking to see if McNuts had a brain and came up empty!

Very interesting. The frontal lobes (which would have been the most likely brain region affected by the location of the intracranial blood clot McCain had - as described) controls the appropriateness of behavior. For an illustrative example, read about Phineas P. Gage.

Suitable for a minimal cranium.

Another hole in his head to match the others.

He’s 80?Wait... that’s five years longer than Obamacare architect Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel wants Medicare recipients to live. “75 years is enough.” In this one isolated circumstance, I agree!

“That’s a huge brain clot. May explain a lot.”

Even more important is what it might lead to. All that blood had to come from somewhere or some thing. Unexplained bleeding, like McCain’s, is a prime symptom of cancer. There could be terminal tumor, like the glioblastoma that killed Teddy Kennedy that caused this clot. Time to wait for the next episode.

Was a Kathy Griffin understudy in attendance?

My suspicion, too.

>>Hmmm. That’s odd. They found nothing?<<

They found something resembling a walnut in size and color.

I'm sorry to hear this.

Isn't it about time McCain retired to Arizona? It is obvious he is far from well.

Exactly. The math shows us there is no use paying for healthcare beyond age 75. End of story. /sarc

For Freepers who care to study what a simple 13-page statute allows 2.5 to 3 million federal employees to access....

If it was brain surgery it was micro surgery.

The story is that it was a blood clot about the eye and he is home resting the day after.

Perhaps part of a cranial rectal bowel obstruction.

Sorry... did not get the full story from the article I read. But still he is home, how serious could it be?

Oh the irony!

opm.gov.

I always thought OPM meant “other people’s money.”

My Mom, at EIGHTY, runs circles around me every day...and I can accomplish a LOT in the course of a day!

But, I guess it’s time to pull the plug. She’s just a Useless Feeder. ;)

OTOH, I’m hoping McCain sees this as a Sigh From G-d that G-d AND THE REST OF US have had enough of his treasonous behavior.

Buh-Bye!

You do not open the skull during a routine physical examination.

I hope they tightened the many loose screws in his head.
