The Supreme Court on Tuesday said that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent non-surgical treatment for a benign gallbladder condition.

Bader was treated at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore and is resting comfortably and plans to take part in Wednesday’s teleconference arguments, the court said.

The Supreme Court released the following statement:

“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent non-surgical treatment for acute cholecystitis, a benign gallbladder condition, this afternoon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Following oral arguments on Monday, the Justice underwent outpatient tests at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., that confirmed she was suffering from a gallstone that had migrated to her cystic duct, blocking it and causing an infection. The Justice is resting comfortably and plans to participate in the oral argument teleconference tomorrow morning remotely from the hospital. She expects to stay in the hospital for a day or two.”

Bet she will survive again. That super duper elite gov-co medical care will help.

Types like her are too stubborn and evil to die it seems.

Amazing that no news outlet apparently knew anything about this, even though she was admitted in Baltimore to the hospital.

I just saw a video of her. She’s beginning to look like her own vulture.

Gall bladder infection in her state is a leading indicator of another tumor coming on.

Non-surgical means that she is not fit to handle an anesthetic — that is very ominous from a clinical standpoint.

Friend, in his mid-90s at the time, survived a gallbladder infection a couple of years ago. Hard on him, but he made it.

My gall bladder essentially fell apart from what the surgeon said. That was about 10 years ago.

That was a very rough night.
