Tiger Woods Admitted to Hospital as OD Posted Dec 8th 2009 1:00AM by TMZ Staff

Tiger Woods was admitted to Health Central Hospital the day after Thanksgiving as an overdose.

Sources connected with the hospital tell TMZ the admissions chart lists "OD" and that he was having trouble breathing.

We're told the fifth floor of the hospital was put on lockdown when Tiger arrived. Tiger was admitted under an alias -- William Smith. His wife, Elin Nordegren was by his side.

As we first reported, Elin gave paramedics two pill bottles at the accident scene -- we now know the prescriptions were for Ambien and Vicodin. Tiger was in and out of consciousness, snoring at the scene, and our sources say he clearly appeared to be under the influence of something -- not alcohol.

We're also told doctors used a breathing tube to assist his respiration.

We're also told hospital officials changed Tiger's alias after a few hours to another alias because they feared people would find out he was there.

The FIFTH floor?

Must be reserved for drunks.

All HIPAA does is tell you who can get your medical records without your approval.

Yep. The Golf Digest is with Obama and Tiger Woods is real. I guess the target audience of Golf Digest are Democrats.

It is amazing that Obama has time to pose for golf magazine covers with celebrities yet take 1 year to come to a decision on supporting our troops in Afghanistan.

what I don't get is WHY would he cheat on his gorgeous wife, with skanks that look like he picked them up in a bar at 2am with bar goggles on?

Tiger was admitted under an alias -- William Smith.

That will keep the paparazzi away.

A real ambian addict. He needs to detox from this garbage. Look for a confession session with Oprah within a few months where he fesses up to sex addiction and abusing prescription drugs

And Oprah will fall all over him, they'll hug, they'll weep together, and there won't be a dry eye in Oprah's dippy audience. All will be forgiven.

Next year, when Tiger misses a clutch putt, Johnny Miller will breathlessly intone, "Maybe Tiger's a little tired from all that extra activity".

Or, "That looked like a drug induced missed".

Or, "Tiger's mind doesn't seem to be on his golf game".

That is exactly what HIPAA did with my grandson -when he was no longer able to be responsible for his care (brain tumor), with the paper work signed properly- my son could not get the needed information on appointments etc. The answer was alsays “We have informed him, you will have to ask him”. Would it have made a difference? We will never know. We buried him a week ago.

Tiger should pay you for that script and feed it into a teleprompter

Under obamacare, TMZ will be the “official” recipient of, and vehicle for, leaked personal health information, leaked for the purpose of destroying obama opponents.
