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.

Not buying it. I wouldn’t call that exactly elective surgery.
He will claim HIPAA rules. Watch.
Sounds like a bowel perforation
I’m sticking with my theory that Austin had a butthole transplant and it rejected him.
With a hat tip to John Valby.
Not sure why- but my guess was prostate surgery, then ICU admit for possible sepsis or other serious infection.
The administration has once more been caught with various liars, lying, while putting our country in a helluva prickly spot.
Same here. Figured it was prostate issues due to his overwhelming desire for secrecy. So much for being a strong role model for other men with his condition.
“Original Article: The surgery was Dec. 22, not Dec. 25 “
The “facts” in this incident have certainly changed a lot over the past few days. In something that should be simple to explain in just two or three sentences we now have full articles trying to rewrite what was originally told to the people. We are expected to just accept the new explanation without question.
“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.”
Normally yes, but considering the bunch that we now have in DC, the US is safer without a Defense Secretary.
Austin is a dick, a Democrat, and a member of the race of professional victims.
Exactly. Besides- politicians and other public figures often make public statements about it- it’s a helpful gesture- same with public women and breast cancer.
He hasn’t shown much courage.
I’ve got your secrecy, it’s an amazing story as well.
Apparently Austin was secretly visiting Kiev and was severely wounded in the recent Missile strikes by Russia. 🙀
Let me add though that only in the title of a video by Military Summary Channel. I’ll watch it shortly and if it seems legit at all I’ll post tomorrow.
