The Secretary is retaining the functions and duties of his office."efense Secretary Lloyd Austin was hospitalized on Sunday "for symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue," a Pentagon spokesman said in a statement.
"At this time, the Secretary is retaining the functions and duties of his office," Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said. "The Deputy Secretary is prepared to assume the functions and duties of the Secretary of Defense, if required

and hiding health problems from the public as well.
No, but can’t blame you for thinking that - half the Biden cabinet is full of crap.
Septicemia. In call kill you fast, or slow. Seems like his is very serious.
Every 4 hours and new bad of IV...I had an infected knee...they had to operate to clean it out.
For me, partisanship ends at the hospital entrance. I hope Austin will be ok. From experience, military medicine is good at treating young service members and combat casualties. It’s *lousy* at treating senior citizens. Austin should go to a civilian hospital. There are many good ones in the D.C. area.
“The Secretary is retaining the functions and duties of his office.”
Another thing he is apparently retaining is urine.

Yes. Her name is now Brianna.
He had a TURP.
And did not drink his cranberry juice.
Yes. No racial disparity of treatment outcomes mentioned at all, it seems. May be a non-recoverable event simply for the missing commentary value. Or maybe recruitment is so bad that even his staff noticed the gaps in the ranks this time around.
Almost 3 weeks in my case.
This condition is pretty common. My husband has had a heck of a time with bladder issues after prostate treatment. He says this is worse than the prostate problem. Catheters love giving a bladder a nice fat infection.
It depends on what it is. If it is a bladder infection, or a UTI, those generally can be treated with antibiotics.
However, if it is something serious, such as bladder cancer, that is a whole new ball game.
I know whereof I speak. I am a bladder cancer patient, and went through surgeries, chemo, and immunotherapy. I have to go in for regular exams and tests; but I’ve been cancer free now for many years.
That could very well be.
That can turn very serious very fast.
Yup. When you have a catheter, it is essential you get on antibiotics.
Somebody once said to forgive you enemies but remember the bastard's names.
Fixed it!
TURP when he COULD have had Aquablation leaving all the outside of the prostate intact, full connection from bladder to urethra and full functionality. Really.
Instead they used a surgery with more than 65% failure and in the process caused post surgical septicemia.
Wonder where this was— not Bethesda. This is medieval. However this is a crass man who supervised political sanitization of the US military on the basis of a LEFTIST MARXIST doctrine winnowing out true warfighters and leaving the US with limp...flaccid, feminized whacks who wear doggie masks and take part in S&M and paedo fun- so it is said.
Milley was truly terrible, and this clown should NEVER have been brought back out of retirement.
People really need to define their acronyms.
And is this a declaration from news, or your absolutely certain prediction declaration?
