By TERENCE HUNT – 4 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Doctors administered an electrical shock to Vice President Dick Cheney's heart and restored it to a normal rhythm during a 2 1/2 hour hospital visit Monday. The procedure was described as a low-risk, standard practice. Cheney, 66, went home from George Washington University Hospital and was expected back at work on Tuesday.

they may have given him something for that though..:thumbsdown:

he has no memory of any pain. Maybe it renders you instantly
unconscious. :shrug: Cheney is lucky and we are unlucky that the shock got his heart beating in rhythm again. It didn't work for my husband who still has quite severe arrhythmia.

:rolleyes:

or that He just finds the whole thing amusing.

......maybe they can restore the Consitution to a normal rhythm!

says Rotor Rooter M.D.

:evilfrown:

this man has directly aided in causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, thousands of troops, and the wounding of hundreds of thousands more troops and civilians -- and we're rejoicing that his single, warmongering, life has once again been saved? Excuse me, if I don't lift my glass!

. . . Cheney, heart, and normal in the same sentence just doesn't compute.

damn who knew........

Cheney has a heart???

Yippee!

that he will become a bleeding heart liberal! Or maybe not.

that there's really not much difference left between them.

Don't feel sorry for the jackals. That's what they get for being friends with him.

but in Cheneys case,I will beat back the guilt and hope for it.Can't pray or wish, but hope will have to do.In other words, Take a dirt bath and don"t come up you asshole.

a doghouse or cow barn somewhere.

did he get pre approval from insurance for his jump start?

What do you mean in this thread?

it sounds like a funeral march.

That the 'normal' heart rhythm of his, is not a drumbeat for war?

Did the docs press ctrl-alt-delete?

Did they forget to change his oil every 3000 miles?

Maybe the pig they made the heart from was just too pissed off after being placed into something too dirty for pigs?

^_^

eom

"only the good die young."

Enough said.

:thumbsup:

posted a blurb on this entitled "Cheney Sent To Hospital With Irregular Heartbeat" at 05.13 on Nov.26/07. I read it about 8p.m and no comments were indicated as being posted and posting was closed off with the notation "comments for the post are now closed". I looked for it this morning and it is gone from the site. Maybe Huffington Post is over editing and being a little too selective? Seems to me news like that about the much loved and admired V.P. of the U.S. of A. should'nt be handled in such an offhand manner,many might have wanted to have to express concerns and hopes for a speedy recovery. Mine would have been "the good news is that he was sent to hospital,the bad news is that he was released",or something along those lines. Guess Huffington thinks they are above the type of comments they knew they would have recieved.

The work is not yet done. Iran must be nuked and DubyaDubyaThree strated.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney is expected back at work Tuesday after doctors used an electrical current to correct an irregular heartbeat, the White House reported.

Doctors described the procedure -- intended to shock the heart back into normal rhythm -- as routine. Cheney left George Washington University Hospital after about two and a half hours.

The 66-year-old vice president has a history of heart ailments, including four heart attacks dating back to 1978. He was briefly hospitalized in January 2006 after suffering shortness of breath.

During the appointment, doctors diagnosed him with atrial fibrillation, an irregular beating of the heart's upper chambers that has been linked to an increased risk of stroke.

CNN Everything is fine ... no problem .... move along .... nothing to see here .....
move along.

Cheney @ 66 with a history of 4 heart attacks and with an on board pacemaker / defibulator
to have to go into the hospital to "shock his heart" back into rhythm is no minor problem.

BTW CNN used the term routine 3 times in this very short article.

Just asking. It must have been a real trick finding a heartbeat.

He walks the earth, yet again, in search of fresh brains.

They drained and refilled him. Also put in a new filter. He's good for another 3,000 miles.

and then went to his special office ...



My Dad has had a pacemaker for years and he gets normal "tune ups"
to it every year or so .... having to go to the hospital to get the heart
"shocked back" into rhythm is not a "day @ the beach."

They are very briefly sedated so they don't feel it but aren't even groggy when its finished. My Mr has had it done a few times. He now has an implanted defibrillator like Cheney and the last time they just used the device to deliver the shock which was much easier than the paddles. We walked out of the hospital approximately an hour after it was finished.

However I would like to stress that my Mr unlike Cheney actually does have a heart.

Cheated Death once again, O Foulmouthed Gargoyle? Guess the Debbil's work on earth isn't quite complete.

is why this man, a father and grandfather, who clearly knows his days on earth are limited, wouldn't want to spend every last minute of them doting on his family. I know I would - ESPECIALLY if I had the obscene fortune in my bank account that Cheney does.

Well, I guess I do understand. Cheney's first loves are money and power, not family. So he IS spending every last possible minute doting on that which he loves the most.

His addiction for which he'll give up love, family, everything so long as he gets his fix.

This is exactly what the right was screaming about Elizabeth Edwards when John decided to run and she decided to campaign with him.

Since you "work for us," Dick, I'm soooo glad we could accommodate you! :sarcasm:

You can't spring something like that on an old man with a bad ticker.

The groveling minion who did it is now in Iraq defusing IED's with a pair of eyebrow tweezers and a sharpened popsicle stick.

:scared:

:evilgrin:

Freedom's on the march, but don't worry: they'll stop it if it's the last thing they do.

who will never return the favor by saving anyone else. One man who's never going to do anything useful. Big deal.

I want him to finish out his sorry-ass life in an orange jumpsuit in the Big House.

Not jolly likely.

"Normal Rhythm" is relative to the species.
;-)

Dickhead at all.

by illegally acquired organs of children from foreign lands who have met tragic circumstances. Perhaps he will donate his parts when he's gone? Any takers????

Guess that means he's back to evil Cheney. While it was irregular, maybe he had a fleeting compassionate thought.
