Sounds to me like he is having issues with his ‘transition’.

Sounds like Sepsis.

Is there a way to update the title with the new info that the Secretary of Defense has been moved to critical care?

Fox News is now reporting the same.

Aquablation only works in certain cases.

Really.

No, they don't unless they are using an acronym that can fit more then one thing.

TURP means TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate.

Thank you for informing.

And again - is this the word from news or is this prognostication?

Incidentally, proper English writing includes defining the acronym at first usage.

Not doing so might imply the audience is a certain type, here, medical people….and even then it can be unknown for some of them unless they’re all urologists. (Yeah, I have many specialists and many of the doctors don’t know various terms or acronyms.)

Congress approves promotions, not the SecDef.
