Murtha back in the hospital By: David Rogers February 2, 2010 10:43 AM EST
Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha was back in the hospital Tuesday after undergoing gall bladder surgery last week.
The Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington said that the 77-year-old Democrat was a patient in its intensive care unit but referred all questions about his condition to his family.
Murthas congressional office confirmed that he underwent scheduled laparoscopic surgery to remove his gallbladder at Bethesda Naval Hospital last week. But the congressmans spokesman refused comment on the seriousness of his condition or any complication that required hospitalization.

There are no Marine Corps surgeons!
not thinking “nice” thoughts....
Well, we could create some real quick.
The name of Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani comes to mind.

no..just cannot...say it.
Indeed, this doesn’t sound good. And I can’t fathom why the surgery was done laparascopically when the problem was an infection. Laparoscopic makes sense for uncomplicated gall bladder removal due to gallstones, but when there’s already an infection present that’s severe enough to be causing symptoms, it strikes me as a really, really unsafe approach.
Suffering from chronic head-up-the-ass syndrome no doubt.........
So there, I wished him well, did I not?
Yawn ... Wake me up when the popcorn’s ready.
Pray for John Murtha. (Psalms 109:8)
Pas de commentaire.
Yes, I figured! lol
Still really! Give him some zero care. Pull the plug!
I hear the UK and Canada have a really good health care system and think he should go there instead of receiving sub standard care in the USA.
Hey Murtha, Emanuel wants you DEAD!
There's your vaunted Socialized Medicine.
You're DEAD!
Any final questions, Mr. Murtha?
Aside from the just blazing and blindingly obvious horrors his own plan would visit upon him,
May he recover or rest in peace.
Even our horribly misguided and often knowingly evil opponents deserve to be judged by G-d, and I will try hard to not presume that position, and forgive.
Good luck, Mr. Murtha. Good thing you’re in a relatively Free Market healthcare system. You have reasonable probabilities, unlike under your plan.
looking at the rafters,whistling a tune.
Mine did too. So.... I have nothing to say.... But I sure would LIKE to!
Has anyone counselled him yet to inform him of all of his options including taking the pain pill instead of having the surgery?
It’s Obama’s advice to the taxpayers. Why not for the Politburo?
So insure the Caddy...
Just re-watched Patton the other day. What a great scene when he tells the hospital surgeon to remove the self-inflicted wound guys, and doesn't take any flak from the doc. And, then orders the doc to always wear a helmet. When the doc says he won't be able to use a stethoscope, Patton tells him to drill two holes.
