Removing fluid from chest!
I just play one. My grandfather just went through something that sounds word-for-word the same.
I'll have a steak sandwich, and a Bloody Mary, and a steak sandwich.
Hillary may have to find a new husband before '08, or will she milk this in grief mode for a while..is Paul Allen still looking for potential bride?
*sigh* Prayers for Beel...er, for Bubba.
Since he gave up the bed on the plane for Bush #1 and since he is married to that Witch, I too, will pray for his recovery.
That's a prayer I can join you in.
The aggravating thing about this kind of news.....we don't really know if we're getting the truth, part of it, or just what Clinton wants released. And for certain, unless Clinton wanted this news released today, it wouldn't be, that's for sure.
And The length of his hospital stay can't possibly be known before he's hospitalized. We don't know if conjecture about the length of his stay is exaggerated for drama and sympathy. Or exaggerated so that when he leaves early, the media will pronounce his swifter than expected recovery, a miracle! Or maybe Clinton is scheduling some other little nip and tuck procedures while he's there and would need this guesstimated time to stay out of sight while healing. (Since losing weight, his facial wrinkles are pronounced.
And certainly, the other consideration whenever there's news of Bill Clinton, is how it's timed to impact favorably on Hillary's presidential maneuverings. I"m not questioning at all that Bill Clinton might need this procedure....but isn't it cute how it comes right after he gallantly gave up his bed on the plane for the elder President Bush? Didn't you wonder why it was his bed in the first place?
Oh well, we can wish a former President the very best of luck, but that's no reason not to suspect that he is gaming this event for maximum political gain.
That was a really nice thing to say!
My guess would be....nobody wants to discharge an ex-POTUS too soon. They would most certainly error on the FAR side of caution here.
That being said....I think the average LOS...for CABG pt's these days is around 6 days...I don't remember how long Sick Slick was hospitalized....Do you?
FRegards,
Unfortunately, I actually can't. There are plenty of hate-Clinton posts on here, and there were plenty of prayers for Reagan's family on there. I will say our mods are better at pulling the hateful ones, though.
"Lord, guide the hands of the doctors."
.....in whichever direction is your will.
I've got to go out; keep the thread going until he comes out of the White House!!
Enlighten, please. What would pericardial enfusion entail?
Every time I see Clinton, he looks worse. He needs to just chill for about three months. There is no election going on, no need for book tours, etc. Hire a nutritionist as his personal chef, get a physical therapist (both males, so he doesn't get distracted! :-), and just get better.
Generally, he would have to go off the thinner about 7 days or so both before and after an operation.
Of course, there are exceptions such as dire emergency surgery.
