You think it was the same guy who punched McCain?
Allot?
What is that?
Why do you even care?

In many ways the Dems act like a Soviet Party
They scratch and climb the greasy pole of politics their entire life, so the top ones like Clinton and Pelosi will never, ever give up power or influence. They will go out feet first. they also lie and cover-up their health failures, until one day, the world suddenly finds out they are dead.
I broke 2 ribs skiing once... worst pain ever.
Every time you breath it flexes, so it takes forever to heal.
Horrible 6 weeks. I could not take a deep breath so I caught pneumonia and the coughing nearly killed me.
Hard to tell - not uncommon for the treatments she’s gone through to weaken the bones and that has been known to result in events that entail much lower pain....older and feebler people often break bones and don’t realize it right away - especially if it’s more cracked than snapped.
Had broken ribs 3 different times.
You don't walk quickly, you don't cough, you don't laugh, or breath very deeply.
At ages 10, 30, and 42 they took 6 weeks to heal.
She was released this morning. I am surprised by this.
I'll tell you how. An 85 year old woman usually has a lot of calcium loss from their bones, making them more susceptible to being cracked or broken with much less force required. (How many times have you heard of an old woman falling and breaking their hip? How many times have you heard of an 18 year old falling and breaking their hip?)
I have known old women who have fallen and cracked a bone, and didn't realize it until the pain didn't subside and they went in to see a doctor. Being easier to fracture also means less trauma, less pain.
Your fractured ribs at 20-30-40 something does not equate to fractured ribs in an 85 year old woman.
The down side is that it will take much longer for her bones to knit for all of the same reasons that they were more easily broken in the first place.
Time for Ruth to retire...
I know exactly what you mean about ribs. I fell and injured my ribs once, and I can agree with you that it is excruciating with every breath. I can’t imagine the pain if the ribs were broken. And even just my injured ribs took a few weeks before I could take a deep breath.
No biggie. I believe her. Weirder things have actually happened.
I agree with you that it seems unbelievable that she was able to return home so quickly. I’m guessing that she had hairline fractures on 3 ribs that were probably there before her latest fall and used this 3 broken ribs story to hide the true extent of her health.
Fall? Or bone cancer?
I’ve known bone cancers to eat through bones and the first warning was a fracture.
I too am familiar with the hospital. I was born there and have spent many hours with family members atGW hospital.It is very difficult to be discharged from that hospital. She must have had a private doctor with her every step of the way. I think this is fake like you say.it doesn’t add up.
Agree with your logic. Why would they let her go home. Serious complications possible with this in someone her age. Most little old ladies go to some sort of assisted facility for a while until they’re healed enough to actually go home.
Your scenario makes great sense. I broke one rib when I was much younger than Ginsburg. The pain in its aftermath was so great that my daughter called 911. Aside from the initial pain, it caused spasms which felt like a knot was being tied with my ribs. I think we may hear of Ginsburg’s sudden departure in the near future. That said, I join President Trump in wishing her well.
Two words: HAIRLINE FRACTURES — no “displacement” of ribs.
