“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.
I am scanning the now 320+ postings over @ CTH. My focus is folks opining with a medical background, since I am not in that arena. You nailed it LibStipper, this maybe bigger than we realize, you don't open the skull and go home, and someone noted discussions with the family. Hmmm especially with HIPPA. I hate to be a cynic, but we are not getting the full story here. He is probably in worse shape than we know, just like when Hillary banged her head and was out of Commission for 2 months and we still so not have a straight answer as to what went on.
What makes me more cynical is a comment from a liberal friend involved with the "medical codes" and "common paperwork" and the interoperability and availability between providers. As they said, anyone can get your data ( HIPPA was never about protecting you, it was about them getting your data ), but isn't it funny we never get a leak as to the health of the vaulted 535 in DC?...
