hachiroku - 17 May 2008 22:22 GMT Ted Kennedy was airlifted to Mass General Hospital today with stroke-like symptoms.
Damn, man, I want him out of office, but I wanted him to be *voted* out of office. As much as I dislike the man, I hope he fares well.

Jeff - 17 May 2008 22:31 GMT > Ted Kennedy was airlifted to Mass General Hospital today with stroke-like > symptoms. Where did you get this? The headline from the link below is "Senator Edward Kennedy hospitalized after suffering a seizure." The original story was included "stroke-like symptoms," but this was updated around 4:30.
> Damn, man, I want him out of office, but I wanted him to be *voted* out > of office. As much as I dislike the man, I hope he fares well. if you look at the picture of him being being transferred to the helicopter, you will see that there is a blue ambu bag that is pumped by hand to get air into his chest. That's not a good sign. Not being able to breath one's own after a stroke is not good. But did I mention he had a seizure, not a stroke?
> Senator Edward Kennedy hospitalized after suffering a seizure Of course, another question is: What caused the seizures? However, the man who had two other brushes with death (that problem with driving into the stream in Chappaquiddick and an airplane crash in the '60s before I even messed my first diaper) seems to be getting better from his third one.
I guess this is an example of why it is good to read an article before posting a link to it.

As a physician, I know that. However, it's standard procedure until the patient is able to breath on his own, regardless of whether or not you know what the person lost consciousness.
It's still not a good sign, especially with stroke-like symptoms.

Mike hunt - 17 May 2008 23:54 GMT As do I but I see humor is most everything and he is known to be a heavy drinker. When I go to a funeral there will be somebody near the coffin that says, "He looks good."
I don't agree with the Senators big government philosophy but I sure would not wish him any harm. Good men can disagree about what is best for the county and still not dislike those that do not agree with their position.
That is why the founders wanted a republic rather than a democracy so that ALL positions could be considered not just those of the majority. I believe if we were a democracy we blacks would still not be able to vote or hold office.
One of the biggest problems we face in the US today is the hatred from the fringe groups that will attack all others personally for their different politely beliefs. The kooks on the left are particularly hateful.
Just look how they have told lie after lie for the past seven years to vilified good men for their differing views, it is disgraceful and anti American to demean ones own country simply for political advantage

Jeff - 17 May 2008 22:40 GMT > The man is infamous for his heavy drinking. I wonder how they were able to > détermine he was having a stroke. ;) The symptoms of a stroke include the *sudden onset* of one side of the face or body drooping, slurred speech, inability to speak clearly, the tongue pointing to one side when it is stuck out and difficulty moving an arm or leg.
A stroke is no laughing matter. If treated quickly, most damage from a stroke can be avoided in many cases. If not treated quickly, a stroke can kill or, worse, causing severe permanent disability.
A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack" to emphasize the seriousness of the matter and that the stroke needs to be treated as an emergency.
My grandfather, who would be only 111 today, died from a stroke during the WWII when he was just a little older than me, when they didn't know how to treat them.

At last report, he was said to be sitting up talking with the family.

 Signature "Well, Teddy, I see you've changed your position on offshore drilling." ~ Senator Howell Heflin, looking at a picture of Ted Kennedy engaging in sexual activities with a woman on a boat.
