Just a smidgen of panic when he said he wasn’t going to declare a national emergency. I’m better now!

“This is just as irrelevant and irresponsible as the diagnoses of psychologists who label President Trump as mentally ill without the benefit of a real examination.”
1. You are absolutely correct. No examination of the patient AND the records/tests, no valid diagnosis. While the doc here is undoubtedly better informed than a lay-person like me, a guess is still a guess, whether informed or not.
2. That said, he’s likely correct. Cancer hides itself very well, and Ginsburg has apparently reached the limit for chemo. So she’s likely to have it show up elsewhere.
She’s also extremely frail, and at nearly 86 her immune system is not as able to fight off opportunistic infections.
That all said, many people have been in similar circumstances and survived for many years.

Wayne Allen Roots comment had nothing to do with this article.
Sebastian Gorka also has one.

“DRs thought I had it, but it wound-up being Severe/Acute Pancreatitis I lost 131-lbs and died 2x, but they brought me back.”
Just wow. You’re literally a survivor. I couldn’t imagine going through something like that. Kudos.

How long could they conceal news of her death. Is it time to demand “proof of life”.

I agree....But my tipoff was “resting comfortably” rather than a condition.
To: Cedar
He certainly better not compromise like that.Give up on two decades of conservative dominance on the SC to achieve a short term quasi-symbolic victory? No deal. No way.
To: Texas Fossil
I don't think doctors who have no access to the patient or medical records should be diagnosing public figures.
I would add that most of the time it's directed at one of ours.

Thanks, it’s good to be here. I’m going in to PSU-Hershey Med Ctr for my 15th Endoscopy, and the pseudo-cyst on the Pancreas has been drained from the size of a grapefruit to the size of a grape, via stents put thru my stomach. I was 265-lbs going in, and 134-lbs coming out, after only ice chips for 23 days, and being IV-fed thru neck veins, and massive courses of IV-antibiotics. I’m at 159 now and needing to get to 170-lbs; working on it.

We all figure that, and he may even have sources. But the Dems are that thorough...they would do just that.

My 80 year old father in law got the flu suddenly and in a slightly delerious state slept on one arm for the whole night. In the morning my mother in law realized how sick he was and got him to an emergency room right away. Within a day and some fluids he was dealing with the flu okay but his arm being crushed under him like that apparantly caused his fingers to atrophy (overnight!) and a couple had to be amputated. Then he died the next day due to kidney failure, also somehow linked to the arm crushing. In the space of 2 days he want from healthy to invalid amputee to expired.
When you are in your 80s or more there are no illnesses which are a cake walk.

IF she would “notify” anyone, it would be Schumer-Hillary-Pelosi. NEVER Trump. Ever.
But, no. She would prefer to die in office. On her throne (er, seat) at the office. She ensures she will be Enshrined as a hero that way. A martyr to, well, Satan anyway.

I wouldnt say that. Making an educated guess based on her known medical history and the expected outcome for different forms of cancer, as in the current article, is reasonable. Rendering a biased and half-baked psychologic diagnosis based on analysis of speeches and TV appearances is not.
