when the purported president is one broken hip away from 25th Amendmentville

I feel like I missed a memo. There is another thread which contains a random comment -- about Pelosi breaking her hip. Seems like a slightly odd comment. I expect Joe (or Nancy) to have a stroke or a heart attack. But is there a reason why the health crisis du jour is currently "broken hip"?

Bones get thin and hips break towards the end of life if one lives long enough. Some believe they break before the fall and some believe they break as a result of the fall.

Both Biden and Pelosi, near and at 80, are at risk of hip failure.

If Biden continues riding bikes without a helmet he may get a subdural hematoma as well.

It’s the possibility that a broken hip often leads to other problems in frail old people: the need for a nursing home, fatal complications like pneumonia, etc.
(Of course we know people like Nancy or Joe would never be in an ordinary nursing home, they would have it all privately done done at home $$$.)
