( OT) Does Bush have a Medical problem?

extract

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!

No, that's a receiver for prompting when he's giving a speech. Haven't
we already clarified that?

I was thinking he'd trip over his dog's leash and strangle himself in it
trying to escape.

Ohhh...I like that one.

It takes a Monty Python mind to think these things up. :-)

Jim,
Good point. Ya know, George may be dumb as a fox. :-)

I have lone paroxysmal a-fib. There's virtually a zero percent chance of
having a stroke from an A-fib incident that lasts less than 48 hours. In
other words, there's no way that the President of the USA could have had
undetected A-fib for 2 days that resulted in a stroke.

You're assuming he's smart enough to know the difference between his chest
and his knee - a significant fact if he needs to describe unusual symptoms
to his doctor. Since we know he's not that smart, your comment is moot.

If you have A-fib, you know when you're in A-fib.

If you have A-fib, you know when you're in A-fib.



You still have to communicate something, unless you have some very astute
people close by.

The article stated that he passed out from A-fib, and Bush's people
covered it with a story about choking on a pretzel. How astute of a
person does it take to notice a person passed out on the ground? I
guarantee that the first thing the White House medical folks checked was
his BP and heart rate...and then followed up with a 12-lead ECG.



I'm more interested in the Doof's EEG...

Don't you read the newspapers, Harry? The Associated Press gots its hands on
his EEG results recently. From the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle:

Thanks...I've previously stated I thought Bush was a FLEEG (someone with a
flat line EEG) but needed the proof...

Almost flatline. The doctors believe the question marks indicate Bush was
looking around the room, wondering why he couldn't bring his best friend
with him to the test: A fencepost from his ranch.
