Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent nonsurgical treatment for a benign gallbladder condition Tuesday afternoon at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, a court spokeswoman said in a statement. After the court's first day of oral arguments by phone Monday morning, Ginsburg went for outpatient tests at a hospital in Washington. Those tests, according to the statement, "confirmed that she was suffering from a gallstone that had migrated to her cystic duct, blocking it and causing an infection."

"Resting comfortably."

Wait, isn't what they talked about doing right before a postpartum abortion (infanticide)?

That’s what my mom had at 81. She’s fine and 85 today.

It wouldn’t matter if the tissue was malignant. After all, she is more malignant than cancer.

Resting comfortably...

In a coffin? 😋

[smvoice]

I think she’s still breathing because the Grim Reaper fears her. That’s not something you wanna barge in on

[kalee]

I wonder if her cancer has spread and created the blockage.

[rdl6989]

I wonder the same thing.

Death becomes her...

That is a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg? 😋

Hospitals are always dangerous places for the elderly...at least partially because of hospital acquired infections.Pneumonia is also another danger...when you confine an elderly person to bed even for a short period pneumonia is a very real threat.

I can't speak for anyone else but it would break my friggin heart if this fine old gentlelady were to assume room temperature in the next few days.

That decrepit old bitty needs to resign!

NOW!

Maybe a nursing home in New York City might help her out.

I just had a cyst on my neck removed 2 weeks ago. My original appointment was cancelled in march but the clinic called me up and asked if I still wanted it done. I said yes but I asked about the essential/nonessential surgery. The nurse said “don’t even get me started”.

This is more of the BS of flattening the curve. I know of at least 3 hospitals in my state that have issued warnings of potential permanent closure due to loss of funds because of the loss of all of the “non-essential” medical procedures.

[RasterMaster]

Is she ‘lying in state’?

[freepersup]

Nicely played. Swish! Nothing but net from the 4 point arc line, if there was one.

[irishjuggler]

As long as there is a GOP president, she will never ever resign. Never. She only leaves the job one way... at room temperature.

[Old Yeller]

If she goes, it’s really going to turn up the heat, since the DemonRats top issue after wanting to control every aspect of our lives, is murdering babies.
