No Heart Disease for Rush Limbaugh

Radio Host Says He Is 'Grateful' Tests Revealed No Serious Problems

Radio host Rush Limbaugh announced at an afternoon press conference today that after two days in the hospital, medical tests have revealed "no heart disease whatsoever" and that he is doing fine.

Limbaugh added that he is "grateful that this happened as it did."

Limbaugh was admitted to Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, where he was vacationing, after he experienced chest pains on Wednesday afternoon. According to Limbaugh, doctors could not determine the exact cause of his pain, however. <snip>

8. Don't know. Somebody posted a pic and he was walking toward the podium to

give his announcement, looked fine, so maybe he was discharged.

11. He's a liar

There is no possible way that fat pig doesn't have some heart disease. No way.

It's certainly possible his heart didn't contribute to his chest pains, and that he doesn't need surgery, but that's not the same thing as not having some heart disease.

30. democratforlife72 is a misnomer...

"All you liberal scumbags" is a personal attack, which fits right in with the rest of your post. Perhaps you forgot to read the rules on posting.

19. And now I have something in common with Rush.

Seriously, that is precisely what they told me a couple of weeks ago when I was discharged from the cardiac unit, no sign of heart disease.

And that's about the only thing I will EVER have in common with him.

20. TMZ says he had an angioplasty

and went back to his hospital room after the press conference.

26. He probably had an angiogram because he's too fat for x-rays to see

if there was heart damage.

22. Cervical angina?

Comes from a nerve irritation in the neck and mimics heart disease.

Needs a good chiropractor and some PT.

27. Limbaugh in hospital for nothing, press conference, insurance

This is my 1st post on Democratic Underground though I've
visited a lot.
Who, but Rush Limbaugh, holds a press conference in a
hospital? 
There's nothing flippin' wrong(at least with so-called
heart)with him no less. : +
Then uses it to say what a great health care system we have.
Sure, when you
HAVE the Platinum insurance plan! If he were just some fat guy
off the street I doubt
his hospital experience would have been quite the same.

Refreshing to be somewhere you don't have to be so PC, and
just say what you really feel. Nice!

How's about sending him a trailer load of cigars as a get
well<-? gift?

33. Of course it wasn't heart disease...

they didn't look low enough to discover the cause of the pain, Rush's old war wound, a pilonidal cyst.
