Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, breaks ribs in fall
CNBC ^ | 8 Nov 18 | Tucker Higgins

Posted on 11/08/2018 6:27:56 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, fell in her office at the court and fractured three ribs, according to a release from the court Thursday.

"She went home, but after experiencing discomfort overnight, went to George Washington University Hospital early this morning," the statement said. "Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment."

Ginsburg's health has been a matter of intense speculation in recent years. Ginsburg, the court's oldest member, is one of the court's four liberal justices. She has survived multiple bouts with cancer, and in 2014 underwent a procedure to have a stent placed in her right coronary artery.

The court said that more information would be provided as it became available.

It is not the first time that Ginsburg has fractured her ribs while on the court. In June 2012, Ginsburg fractured two ribs in a fall and did not disclose the incident to the public until months later.

They found a tumor in her pancreas in 2009. She also was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1999.

She has to be the longest survivor of pancreatic cancer that I've ever heard of.

She has PANCREATIC cancer.

If Ginsberg has pancreatic cancer, she would have been dead within a year of diagnosis. (Steve Jobs had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that allowed him to live so long.)

From what I read she had it a long time ago and was supposedly cured of it. Normally pancreatic cancer takes quickly.

Hmmmm? Will they hold up the movie to include a final chapter? There goes her hopes to move to New Zealand. Ruthie is a fighter, she may be back. I don’t see JMHS draped in black yet.

I don’t think she fell. She coughed.

You believe her pancreatic cancer in 2009 is fake?
