Email Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been hospitalized since Jan. 1 for complications following a surgery to treat prostate cancer, officials at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center said Tuesday.

The news of Austin’s treatment and condition came after a tortious week during which Austin was hospitalized, but the Pentagon refused to say why.

Austin underwent the initial prostate cancer surgery on Dec. 25, during which he was under general anesthesia, according to doctors from Walter Reed.

On Jan. 1, Austin experienced complications from the surgery including nausea and severe abdominal, hip and leg pain, which was later identified as a urinary tract infection. On Jan. 2, he was admitted to the intensive care unit at Walter Reed where he was treated for intestinal issues.

What it was is not the point. It's that there was no SOD for weeks. Biden should have replaced him on the day he found out.

No...it's not okay...He's on call 24/7.

It’s a real word but it is used incorrectly. People should not rely on spell check to write their articles if they get paid as writers.

The root is tortoise I believe, meaning a slow mover and hard headed ( like a shell) or stubborn.

I heard them say it was an “elective procedure.” Somehow surgery for cancer that couldn’t wait till after the holidays doesn’t sound “elective” to me. This guy is bad news and needs to be replaced.

Even this is contradictory. A UTI wouldn't cause "intestinal issues".

It really sounds like the drs nicked his colon while dealing with the prostate cancer.

vaxxed/boosted/cancers——Yup. That’s what I’ve suspected from the gitgo. All the made-up mumbo jumbo has been designed to deflect from probable clotshot damage. In Austin Vader’s age group prostate problems could happen but the alleged after effects are not normal. Same week-—remember that TAMC guy, Lt. Col. Jered Little, poster boy for the clotshots, died at 39 y/o? The Bidum lying bleep holes just can’t help themselves.

If I was in charge of the sterilization process at Walter Reed, I would be looking for a new job.

"Tortious" is an adjective derived from the word "tort." For example, "tortious conduct" is conduct that constitutes a tort, such as negligence.
