Looks like Limbaugh may have had a heart attack
Edited on Wed Dec-30-09 11:21 PM by WileEcoyote
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091231/ap_on_re_us/us_limbaugh_HONOLULU – Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was taken to a hospital with chest pains on Wednesday, a Honolulu television station reported.

Paramedics responded to a call at 2:41 p.m. from the Kahala Hotel and Resort where Limbaugh is vacationing, KITV reported. The station, citing unnamed sources, said the 58-year-old Limbaugh was taken to The Queens Medical Center in serious condition.

Queens spokeswoman N. Makana Shook says the hospital is unable to comment on the report.

Emergency Medical Services spokesman Bryan Cheplic said paramedics took a male of unknown age to an area hospital from the Kahala Hotel and Resort. He said he had no further information.

Limbaugh was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week, KITV said. The country club is next to the Kahala hotel.

For privacy reasons, hotel spokeswoman Sheila Donnelly Theroux said she was unable to acknowledge that Limbaugh is a guest.

5. Forgive me for NOT wishing him well
I suppose any comment I felt in my heart would probably violate some usage agreement.

Like I can't hope he stays hooked up to a machine for twenty years because some relative refuses to sign the right to die paperwork.

Or; That he stays conscious enough to observe lab technicians watching over his naked body, cracking jokes and feel the indignity of various tubes put in his body in a half dozen places. to help him eat, breath, and poo etc.

No, I wouldn't want to say that here.

(evil laughs and snicker)

9. What is with these corporate spokes people?
Give us privacy rights? The way this is being reported is suspicious.

21. HIPA prevents them from confirming any iota until
there is permission from the family.

Hell, in Mexico where I did the paramedic Shtick fer years, you'd have had the same no-comment from me.

And trust me I have treated a few VIPs, who tend to be a royal pain in the you know what for other reasons. (And yes there are exceptions to that too)

13. He's Got Lots of Money

He can hire Cheney's doctor and have someone follow him with a defibrillator at all times.

19. Queens Medical Center
I know that is the hospital of choice in Honolulu, due to catchment from Waikiki...

Good Luck ...

Oh and please next time the right wing complaints about Mr. Obama taking a vacation in the state he was born... remind them that this is the play ground of the well heeled too. That includes Rush.

but Rush unlike your side, GOOD LUCK and a speedy recovery, and I mean it. Perhaps you will have a wake up call...
