George W. Bush apparently is wearing a medical device for "persons at
risk of cardiac arrest." It is a LifeVest wearable defibrillator. He
started using it sometime after his January 2002 fainting spell, which
was attributed to choking. Based on photos showing him wearing the
device, one can conclude the fainting was due to atrial fibrillation
(AF), which his father also had. His father's AF was caused by Graves'
hyperthyroidism, which his mother also has. Bush likely has AF and
less likely Graves', based on his family history and symptoms. The AF
may have caused a stroke or TIA (mini-stroke), of which physicians
watching the debates detected symptoms. Observers have noted
psychological symptoms consistent with this and with
Wernicke-Korsakoff disease.



There's a pool around in which the bet is that Bush will die of natural
causes in the next four years. I'm not tracking it, but I did read about
it some weeks ago.

I would have bet on beer and pretzel or a bike accident..

And that will leave us with Chaney -- God help us!
