The man expected to win the Democrat primary for US Senate in Pennsylvania tonight suffered a stroke last Friday and is hospitalized in Lancaster.

Now he's getting a pacemaker.

I guess they gotta bring Dr. Oz out as an expert guest to discuss this.

Not my area, but a stroke is a blood flow problem in the brain. It is not fixed with a pacemaker. This guy has multiple things going on. Not good. But I imagine it would all be a lot worse if he weren’t vaccinated. ;)

Sympathy vote? Really?

Some people will do ANYTHING to gain attention.

If he were a Republican, there’d already be calls and newspaper editorials demanding he withdraw from the race.

Lamb would be the far tougher appoinent. I live in Wynnewwod, PA, deepest of Blue, and even here, there are more Lamb signs, and no Fetterman signs!

Well at least he's not a blogger.

Any time a blogger has a stroke you can be sure Jergen's lotion is involved.

The a-fib causes blood clots to form in the heart. That clot is then thrown to cause the stroke. The pacemaker would stabilize the heartbeat to stop the clots.

Defibrillator huh? Those are implanted for patients with either history of or high risk of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation caused by cardiomyopathy. A very low ejection fraction must have been detected on his echocardiogram.

If Oz is the Republican nominee, I will vote for Frankenstein in the general election. When Fetterman wins in November, perhaps he will croak in office and then Mastriano can select the replacement and appoint a true conservative.

Me and my family will NEVER, ever support the greasy, slimy, oily, carpetbagger RINO Oz. He should go run for senate in New Jersey or Turkey.

Well getting a pace maker can fix the rhythm of the heart....

And now a days...some can shock the heart too.

But he's toast in an election...IMO.

He had a lengthy atrial fibrillation episode that led to formation of a clot which detached and resettled in his brain.

The first time I looked at a picture of him, I thought he looked like an unhealthy person. It was some glowing puff piece promoting the Democrat of the common man. The non-politician perfect candidate because he is a Democrat.
