I wrote a long medical post about this and deleted it because it violated my rule against commenting on actual patients without knowing the facts.

But, applied to an imaginary patient, the MSKCC statement doesn’t really make sense and doesn’t conform to their own patterns of practice, that I have some familiarity with.

We aren’t going to get to know everything about this case for a while.

I do think that virtually all 85 year olds with possible pathologic rib fractures, lung metastases from one of two primaries, and the after effects of a lobectomy, would retire from any position of heavy responsibility.

RBG does not care about whether she is mentally capable of performing her job. She has probably long since delegated her responsibilities to some ideologically-compatible clerk on her staff, and will just affix her signature to whatever they prepare.

The ONLY thing she cares about, is preventing the SC from ruling against her Leftist agenda for as long as she can hold on.

With stakes this high, I've noted before, she has her office and clerks and Docs so all they really need to do is prop her up and try to keep her awake but six years?

She should stop and smell the flowers, visit with loved ones, enjoy her days but I don't see it - she's political to the bone. She'll leave SCOTUS in a hearse. Sad.
