Whittington Back in ICU (FNC Reporting Minor Heart Attack)

WJIM-AM | February 14, 2006 | be-baw

[be-baw]

I just heard from a local radio reporter (during Rush newsbreak at approximately 1:00 p.m) that Whittington "may have taken a turn for the worse," and was put back into intensive care.

[Palladin]

David Gregory looks like a monkey--and he sounds like one, too.

[traderrob6]

Right, usually the greatest danger of longterm Afib is a stroke.

[Howlin]

I really miss her and David Aman, too.

[newconhere]

Listening to Rush. They just interrupted with "Breaking News" about this. Furious! I just called WBAP to complain.

[SE Mom]

Brit was clearly NOT happy with the hysteria displayed..

Now this doc on FOX is ramping up the hype...

REQUEST: For those who believe- please take a minute to pray for this man, VP Cheney and their families...

[conserv13]

No kidding.A little over 48 hours ago,I didn't know this guy from Adam

He is one of the wealthiest people in Texas. He is well known in Texas Republican circles.

[Peach]

I'm sick about all this, knowing how Cheney must feel. Yesterday I said he'd never forgive himself.

[beyond the sea]

A guard at the door is not a bad idea. Who knows what lengths Cheney's enemies would go to, to see Whittington die from this accident?

Yes.

Bullitt---movie---McQueen

[Kimberly GG]

who the hell is this doctor on fox?

[pitinkie]

I cant believe how many medical facts they are getting wrong..the press I mean.

[eyespysomething]

Here, you forgot this:

[ohioWfan]

The infection question was a good one.

No. The answer from the Doc was a good one..........basically SO WHAT??

They'll treat it. It's not a big deal.

[Howlin]

Who is this doctor? She's critical of the doctors in the hospital and she hasn't even seen this guy?

Well, now Dayside has it's story, doesn't it?

HOW UTTERLY IRRESPONSIBLE>

This is outrageous.

[Howlin]

He won't; bless his heart (and I mean that in the kindess way.)

[JFC]

who the hell is this doctor on fox?

She sounds like a liberal who wants to scare everyone.

[beyond the sea]

I honestly don't know what more these "reporters" could do to look more stupid.

........ and craven.

[Howlin]

I'm praying and cussing at the same kind, do you think that counts? :-)

[A Citizen Reporter]

Who was the doc that they had on the phone? I just caught the end of that, but it looks like Mikey and Juliet's producer has managed to find the Cindy Sheehan of the Medical community to interview already.

[Kimberly GG]

didn't she say something also related to being suspicious that they waited 24 hours to notify the media?

[roses of sharon]

Ghoul trolls!

[Mo1]

Thanks for the exact size

[linn37]

No offense but the mans 78 ,theres probably lots of parts that are'nt coming back.

[onyx]

I hope she returns SOON.

[Howlin]

They found somebody to question the doctors in Texas and imply that they are hiding something.

They must be thrilled.

[ncpatriot]

I totally agree, Howlin. Very irresponsible. I am in shock.

[MineralMan]

Go here. They have 28 ga. slugs available for reloaders. They also have .410 slugs. Cool, huh?

[SE Mom]

HELL yes!!!! :)

..me too!

[Palladin]

Whoever that female doc was being interviewed on Dayside is a hysterical ass-clown.

[girlangler]

"When are we going to hear from PETA?"

Very Soon, I am sure. Did you see the quail flopping on the ground (in the CNN report)? Just a matter of time now before we hear about it. They won't show any concern for Whittington, just the quail.

It'll make a great PETA, HSUS fundraiser

[princess leah]

Man, even Arial Sharon doesn't get this kind of media attention and his case is DIRE!

[Kimberly GG]

exactly what I was thinking!

[united1000]

Who was the doc that they had on the phone? I just caught the end of that, but it looks like Mikey and Juliet's producer has managed to find the Cindy Sheehan of the Medical community to interview already.

 

I'll second that.............

[Howlin]

They found somebody to question the doctors in Texas and imply that they are hiding something.

They must be thrilled.

[onyx]

My husband got up and walked out of the room!
He said this doc is an idiot.

He barely agreed to give me his opinion --- and he only translated to me what we were all hearing from the broadcast and presser.

That woman doc is way out of line.

[newconhere]

Thanks for the number, I was just fixing to ask someone. Dialing now!!!!

[ohioWfan]

Amen, SE. It is time for serious prayer.

To be put in ICU in the first place indicates that the wounds were somewhat more serious than being peppered.

 Not necessarily - as someone who has been in small, rural hospitals - the hospital floor is often something akin to the level of care of a nursing home or rehab facility while the “ICU”, has a level of care roughly equivalent to a modern, up-to-date hospital floor.

 Put another way, the only way to get any sort of real care is to be in the “ICU”. Not to mention if you put someone in ICU you have more control of visitors which could be a key consideration in this case.


 

[Democratshavenobrains]

So I guess Cheney won't be going hunting for the rest of his term.

[Bahbah]

I thought this guy was supposedly shot at 30 yards with #9 shot? Something does not add up here.

The doctor tried to explain this, though I don't think the press actually listened. He is rather heavyset and said it would be less likely in his case that such penetration would have occurred (more flesh to go through), but he basically said that Whittington is bony chested making such a penetration much more likely.

[Howlin]

How can she do that over the phone?

[Carolinamom]

That female doc has Whittington on the way to the grave. What a NON professional to question his hospital docs.

[Peach]

What really frosts me is the press has no regard for Whittington's family or for how a sitting VP must be beating himself up 24/7 since Saturday afternoon.

Like the reporters have never made a mistake, for crying out loud. It's something the VP will never get over.

[lugsoul]

Left off the sarc tag.

Didn't you get the memo? It is no big deal. Happens all the time. I've been sprayed myself many times. Nothing to see. Move along...

[Howlin]

Who has Tivo so we can get that doctor's name????

[petercooper]

I think it was Julie London

[onyx]

He might not ever hunt again. VP is devasted over this.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT --- A HUNTING ACCIDENT. THEY HAPPEN!

[Txsleuth]

I refer to Gregory as Cro-Magnan MAN!!!

[Bahbah]

It's probably a good thing that I don't have a gun right now.

That makes two of us. I'm listening to one of the empty heads on FNC and I just have to resign myself to the fact that I am going to hear all sorts of hysterical and inaccurate reporting on this for days.
