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.

[pollyannaish]

OK. I knew that by the tone of her voice. Seriously. She sounded completely political to me.

Is that crazy?

Thanks for the confirmation.

[pollyg107]

Well, I see that I wasn't the only one who heard that lunatic. I'm here only for a few minutes, but came upstairs to post my outrage at that vile woman -- "doctor" London.

[Howlin]

It's a waste of time for us to be embarassed for her; she's obviously a paid political hack.

[Carolinamom]

The doom and gloom Dr. London is a family physician. What is HER expertise to critque these heart doctors in Texas?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Somehow that figures. My gut instinct told me she was a moonbat leftie.

[onyx]

And from MASSACHUSETTS to boot.

Oh, the irony.

I think the VP was using #7 1/2 size shot (per police report).

She claimed there were reports of atrial fibrillation when he first was treated which should've been a clue... that was just part of her grim analysis.

[Arizona Carolyn]

She's on a one year LOA.

The same expertise as Dr. James Dobson. None.

The birdshot traveling to this man's heart can be fatal.

It would have the same affect as a blood clot/occlusion on his coronary arteries but in this case anticoagulants won't dissolve the blockage and they can't "stent" the blockage - I would wonder if they could attempt to surgically remove this.

A cardiac arrthymia could be fatal for this poor man.

Lucky for Whittington that one of the best heart surgeons in the country, Dr. Sergio Tavaras, is in Corpus Christi. Dr. Tavaras performed a quadruple bypass and heart valve surgery on my mother.

Upon hearing she had to have the surgery, I nearly had a fit that she wouldn't take advantage of having a great heart surgeon in Houston operate on her. I did get her to come to Houston for a second opinion at Michael DeBakey's practice. She was told that there was no greater heart surgeon than Sergio Tavaras in the entire country! He did a wonderful job and is practically worshiped in South Texas.

I should have known better when Novak showed up last night on Brits show.

I used to like Novak, but he seemed way off his game last night on that show.

[pollyannaish]

Thanks! I like his style. I miss him on FNLive each day.

Plenty of time for her to troll news shows as a 'medical expert.'

Shame on her.

Nope. With a lot of these freaks, you can hear them drooling ;)

[pollyannaish]

Thanks. Good info.

[beyond the sea]

YES!

Heart Catheterization is a Surgical Procedure. My 1 Year old nephew has to have this done following Open Heart Surgery just after Birth. Also it involves injection of dyes for contrast, Cardiac Angiography. Complications may be Heart Attack or Stroke. elderly People are susceptible to these problems, but it is still fairly low risk.

I called.. TYPICAL... they are getting many calls.

Mostly from the DUers saying thank you thank you thank you to Dr. London
