Clinton having quadruple bypass surgery today

[GoofItUp]

Just heard this on the news.

I didn't care for his presidency, but I hope things will be ok for him today. He's in my prayers.

Edited to say: They're saying this is a 'common procedure' in these days. I though this was major surgery.

 

[POOH&PIGLET]

You beat me to the punch.

I just heard this on 1010WINS radio in NYC.

I didn't care for him as a president but I do wish him well.

It may be "common" in the sense that lots of people undergo this procedure, but yes, it is major surgery.

Best wishes for President Clinton and a full recovery.

Indeed! Common or not....this is serious stuff. Sounds like the decision was somewhat emergent. Good thing they caught it!

It's not even on CNN yet - sounds like an emergency procedure to me. Hope all goes well.

Ditto. Best Wishes & Prayers Mr. President.

Guess it's time to swear off the Big Mac's Eh?

I hope he is okay.

It must be an emergency, none of the newswires have it yet. Hope he does well.

I read this on the other thread...common procedure? Somehow I doubt he or Hilary are comforted by that.

Best wishes and hoping for a quick and full recovery!

oh my goodness! i hope he is ok.

MSNBC is saying he was having chest pains.

Hoping all goes well...as bad as it is, I'm so glad they caught it now rather than him have a heart attack first.

It is unfortunately a common procedure in the United States. These days, in some cases, a small incision on the side of the chest is all that's necessary (although this almost certainly will NOT be the case for Clinton, as he will be having a quadruple bypass).

It'll certainly slow him down for a while. . .if you know what I mean--

. . ..yes, my prayers are with him.

Just heard it on the 'breaking news'. Poor guy.

At least he saw the signs and got to the hospital right away.

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery.

Best wishes to him and his family.
