27. MedilinePlus ...
Deep venous thrombosis is a condition where there is a blood clot in a deep vein (a vein that accompanies an artery).

80. Thanks...my second laugh of the day over the Cheney leg
clot condition......me thinks if this visit to the hospital to see the doctor was scheduled in advance it would have been a good idea for the administration to announce it to keep the speculation down unless it's a diversion.....are they just stupid?......never mind, I just answered my own question.:evilgrin:

87. It's a diversion. They are desperate. Let's hope that
clot is coursing through a critical capillary somewhere. Cheney is an evil fucker for what he has done to this country.

25. that's my guess.
now, it is a doctor visit, not an ER visit.

considering that he travels with no less than 70 heavily armed special forces-trained secret service folks, AND a full rolling hospital at all times, even this is a change.

but I agree, I smell a rovian plot here:

Desiring that Darth designate a date w/ the doc on the day that dennis deigns to destroy this dickhead.

59. You just KNOW that even if he dies in office
they'll just plant him in front of a bookcase, cover him in makeup, with rosy cheeks, and then attach a string to one corner of his mouth, ala Weekend At Bernies. :)

Otherwise, there'd be no end of whining by McCain (Straight Jacket Express) and Joe the FAKE DEMOCRAT, for his job.

Then Bush could steal Cheney's keys to the big vault he has in a secret location, and SWIM in the Money, Like Scrooge McDuck - C'mon, you KNOW they do that, don't you? :)

Vice President Dick Cheney was taken to his doctor's office Tuesday for a checkup of the blood clot in his left leg, a spokeswoman said.

On March 5, doctors discovered that Cheney had a clot, called a deep venous thrombosis, in his left lower leg. "He's going to get his leg checked out," spokeswoman Megan McGinn said...

These neocons make me sick. Bunch of cowardly bullies.

81. Prediction: He'll "expire", They'll sneak him out of the country to where Ley is hiding.
Just a thought.

90. Cheney's long history of health problems
Cheney's long histories of cardiovascular disease and periodic need for urgent health care have raised the question of whether he is medically fit to serve as Vice President. Formerly a heavy smoker, Cheney sustained the first of four heart attacks in 1978, at age 37. Subsequent attacks in 1984, 1988, and 2000 have resulted in moderate contractile dysfunction of his left ventricle. He underwent four-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting in 1988, coronary artery stenting in November 2000, and urgent coronary balloon angioplasty in March 2001.


In 2001, a Holter monitor disclosed brief episodes of (asymptomatic) ectopy. An electrophysiologic study was performed, at which Cheney was found to be inducible. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was therefore implanted in his left upper anterior chest.<58> As of 2004, it has never discharged.

On September 24, 2005, Cheney had an endo-vascular procedure to repair popliteal artery aneurysms bilaterally, a catheter treatment technique used in the artery behind each knee. The condition was discovered at a regular physical in July, and, while not life-threatening itself, is likely an indicator that Cheney's atherosclerotic disease is progressing despite aggressive treatment.<59>

On January 9, 2006, Cheney was taken to the hospital for tests after experiencing shortness of breath. He was given heart tests and tests for retention of water (he had been retaining water due to medication he had been taking for a foot complaint) before being discharged. He was placed on a diuretic to help get rid of the fluids.

On March 5, 2007, Cheney was treated for deep-vein thrombosis in his left leg at George Washington University. He was taken there after experiencing pain in his left calf. Doctors prescribed blood-thinning medication and he was allowed to return to work.<60>

Cheney occasionally requires the use of a cane for walking. This, according to Cheney, is due to a foot condition and is unrelated to his cardiovascular disease.
