[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay: [QB] Why are you trying to cover stuff up? CNN reports: [QUOTE]After the surgery, Dr. Alan Wasserman, interim chair of the department of medicine at George Washington University, told reporters that Cheney's prognosis is "excellent" -- and he should be able to resume normal activities in a "few weeks" at most. Cheney will remain hospitalized for the next 2-3 days. However, doctors failed to disclose that Cheney suffered a heart attack for some hours. They waited until a second news conference more than two hours later to disclose Cheney's true condition. "There was a very slight heart attack," Wasserman told reporters later Wednesday afternoon....[/QUOTE] Slight? The New York Times reports: [QUOTE]Doctors found that one of Mr. Cheney's coronary arteries was about "90 to 95 percent blocked," and tests later determined that he had what they eventually termed a "very mild heart attack."[/QUOTE] Los Angeles Times reports: [QUOTE]But doctors revised their diagnosis after a later set of blood tests indicated a "minimally elevated level" in heart muscle enzymes. The presence of these enzymes indicates heart muscle damage--a heart attack. On Wednesday, in explaining the change in their earlier diagnosis, doctors stressed that the definition of heart attack was changed last year by the American Heart Assn. to reflect "any enzyme elevation" measured in the blood. "Over a year ago, this amount of enzyme elevation would not have been considered by most people signs of a heart attack," said Dr. Alan Wasserman, professor of cardiology at George Washington University Hospital, where Cheney--experiencing chest discomfort--checked himself in before dawn Wednesday. "To put this into some perspective, in someone that has had a significant heart attack, the levels would be somewhere 20 to 50 times higher," Wasserman added.[/QUOTE] CNN writes: [QUOTE]Cheney, 59, had three heart attacks and quadruple cardiac bypass surgery before turning 50, but recently said he now leads an "extraordinarily vigorous lifestyle." Cheney says he quit smoking, exercises regularly and takes medicine to lower his cholesterol.[/QUOTE] Make that 4 heart attacks. So, either you don't know what you are talking about or you don't care to find out. Conservative talk radio information isn't what's it's cracked up to be is it? Clearly you haven't clue. Better tell someone to lock the thread. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
