Hope he suffered at the end for what he did do those Marines doing their jobs. I feel bad for the family, but not for him.
I have not read any specifics regarding Murtha's readmission. I do know his initial surgery was a larparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of GB with a laparoscope). The most feared complication of this surgery is injury to the common bile duct....sometimes occluding the duct with a clip or more commonly misidentifying the common bile duct as the cystic duct. The cystic duct comes from the gallbladder and drains into the common hepatic duct, thus forming the common bile duct. If the cystic duct is not 'specifically' identified and the common bile duct (or common hepatic duct) is clipped and transected, bile will drain into the peritoneal cavity, causing the buildup of bile and causing a biloma. This is not a good thing to happen. The incidence of ductal injury is from 0.5% to 2%, depending on the operator. If a junior resident was performing his first laparoscopic cholecystectomy under the watchful eye of the senior resident there is a learning curve, and the more inexperienced the operator the greater incidence of ductal injury. Now!!!!!!!!I don't know if this happened or not. It is possible that Murtha got septic, or deep veinous thrombosis, or pneumonia, or a whole plethora of other complications common to major surgery. I am just spitgalling here.
I remember when the senator from New YOrk, died of complications of appendectomy. That would be a heavy load for the surgeon to carry.
Also note, with no aspersion on anyone, the original surgery was carried out at a government hospital and Murtha sought help from a private hospital in Virginia when his complication arose.
It seems these democrats will do anything to escape the anger of the voters. Unfortunately he most probably ended up facing the anger of God.
Truly sad. perhaps it will serve as a lesson to the other un-repentant democrats out there. Justice cannot be evaded. Either own up to and repent of your sins now, or pay for them forever.
He's one of the few ex Marines I know of.
I’m sorry. I know I’m not supposed to say anything ugly. But this individual was treasonous, a traitor, and an enemy of the state. The republic is marginally safer with him moulderin’ in the grave.
RIP
May the Good Lord comfort his family.
Forget those niceties. John Murtha: BURN IN HELL!
I’m not sure, but I don’t think he can delay it that long...where’s a lawyer when you really need one..
He saw that “error of his ways.”
He just chose to continue making such “errors.”
I just checked further. I see Murtha underwent laparoscopic surgery, too. That type of surgery must have a high percentage of error (whether it’s reported or not). It’s the type of surgery that seems to have resulted in so many deaths in recent years.
Are you sure? I think that’s why we have wakes, to make sure the person is dead before we bury him.
May God have mercy on his soul.
My condolences to his family, but may Jack Murtha Rest In Perdition; he deserves no peace!

Two hours ago the Global Warming folks just got the temperature spike they were looking for...
Talk about your Hockey Stick!

There is a time and a place. Piling onto Murtha the day he died just gives fodder for the left wing media. I prefer to save my ammunition for live targets (and there are plenty to choose from).
I wanted Murtha voted out of office. I didn't want him dead.
RIP. Grateful for his service in the USMC.
Thanks for you service and rest in peas. (I can’t stand peas)
God rest his soul.
