‘On life support?’: Mitch McConnell’s condition in question as medical expert raises alarm
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
A medical expert issued a bleak assessment regarding the health of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who was recently discovered unconscious at his Washington home and rushed to the hospital.“Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for almost three weeks at this point with very little information that has come out about his condition,” said Hilary Booco, a speech language pathologist at Colorado Brain Recovery, in a video published Friday evening. “Now, it does sound like he is alive – on life support? I don't know. Someone within his staff has said that he is improving – what that means, we don't know. But here's what we do know: even if he is alive, he is unfit to serve and he should not be finishing out his term through January.”In mid-June, McConnell was rushed to the hospital for an undisclosed medical reason, though new reporting from this week revealed he had been hospitalized for a potential heart attack. This follows his hospitalization in February after experiencing flu-like symptoms, which itself follows several other health scares including multiple falls and freezing up in public.The new details revealed this week on McConnell’s most recent health incident, however, suggest the lawmaker may be forced into an early retirement, Booco cautioned.“Now, he was apparently found unconscious and unresponsive, required CPR due to cardiac arrest. That typically means lack of oxygen to the brain, on a brain that has already suffered a lot, that is already 84,” Booco said. “If I were a speech language pathologist evaluating him and on his medical team, there would be significant concerns for even just the risk of going back to work on his prognosis. I would very likely say, given your age and health history, you should retire immediately.”
