Doctor Warns 85-Year-Old Ruth Bader Ginsburg Likely Very Ill ‘Media Underestimating Severity of Her-
The Gateway Pundit ^ | January 11, 2019 | Cristina Laila

In light of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s history of cancers and most recently, a surgery to have cancerous tumors removed from her lungs as well as her absence from the bench, Dr. Joseph Bentivegna writes Bader, 85, is quite ill.

Dr. Bentivegna, M.D. says the media who have commented on Ginsburg’s  health are “underestimating the severity of her illness,” and that “President Trump has a reasonable chance” of replacing Ginsburg in his first term.

If Trump wins reelection, the doctor believes Trump has at least an 80% chance of replacing Ginsburg — we believe that chance is much much higher.

The doctor laid out Ginsburg’s history of illness in his blog post, but points out the most significant thing is the justice’s recent surgery on her lungs to remove tumors.

1. She had non-metastatic colon cancer removed in 1999
2. She had non-metastatic pancreatic cancer removed in 2010.
3. She had a stent placed in her coronary arteries in 2014
4. She fell in November of 2018 and broke three ribs.
5. She had surgery in December of 2018 and had two malignant nodules removed from her lungs.
6. Scans found no other cancer in her body.
7. She is 85 years old and has no history of being a smoker.

According to Dr. Bentivegna, the key here is what type of cancer Ginsburg had on her lungs. It has already been determined that the tumors removed were malignant, however, there is one more layer to this.

The doctor points out that we still don’t know what type of cancer Ginsburg has:

We know this already. Ruth just doesn’t think we know.

So sorry for your suffering. I hope you are feeling better now. My husband was diagnosed with a Stage 4 GBM brain tumor, and he was dead in 15 days. (He died 6 years ago today). They thought the tumor might have seeded from his lungs, which brain tumors often do. They did several scans, but there was nothing in his lungs. (He never smoked.) It was an isolated tumor. I wouldn’t be surprised if RBG has mets in her brain.

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.

Apple and oranges. Mentally ill is quite different than physically ill. Most of us have had experience personally or know people who have gone through similar physical experiences as Ginsburg. It's simply an educated guess, considering her medical history, that chances are better than average her body is saying no even if she is saying yes. The human body can surprise us sometimes though and sometimes the will to live will keep someone going much longer than one would think. In fact it can defy nature at times.

While I don't care for Ginsberg due to her ideology and many rulings; I have to respect her tenacity. She is one tough bird.

“Those poor tumors, being infected with Ginsburg.”

Now that’s just laugh-out-loud funny!

That is terrible Poly.. I am so sorry. Those quick deaths give little time to do the closure necessary. You are still in first stages of shock

Very very hard on those left behind

This is a total outrage. Senators have to show up to cast a vote in the Senate.

Are they saying that the Ginsburg can cast a vote from her bed in New York City? BullSh!t.

They have her hooked to an automated defib that zorks her every 5 seconds.

They figure she has a chance of coming back to life (if life is what she had...)

A little birdie (in DC) tells me Ruth Bader Ginsburg announces her retirement tomorrow.

Posted 1/10/2019. Unless it’s done by midnight, it’s not going to happen.

She did the day of her surgery, or at least someone did.

Her vote the day she had that operation should be moot since she was sedated, thus for 24 hours she should not have been fit for duty. She a dead gal-gay-activists walking or bedridden. Cancer is rampant and she will be gone quicker than the Snow Storms in January. Godspeed RBG, and good riddance.

Why does it seem that everytime the democrats put someone into appointed positions, they go out and find a homosexual or abortionist - is it because Satan prefers death to life.
