| Murtha in ICU Following 'Complications' From Surgery |
| 2010-02-02 |
| Rep. John Murtha has been admitted to an intensive care unit at a Virginia hospital after experiencing "complications" from gall bladder surgery a week ago. A Murtha spokesman told Fox News that Murtha underwent a scheduled laparoscopic surgery to remove his gall bladder, after he was hospitalized in December suffering a gall bladder infection. The 77-year-old Pennsylvania Democrat had the surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital but was admitted afterward to the Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington. "Complications did arise from the surgery," a Murtha aide said, without elaborating. Aides would not comment on the severity of Murtha's condition. |

| #13 Of course, I know about as much as what happened to the Rep as anyone here from this news bit, but about seven months ago I lost a very good friend to a blood clot that developed after gall bladder surgery. Maybe that's what happened to him. Can't stand the traitorous bastard, but I do hope he recovers from this (and then follows TW's prescription.) |

| #11 Any chance he can go to a V.A. hospital? He is a veteran, after all. What, he's not proud of gummint-sponsored medicine? |

| #9 Murtha's only 77? He seems like a generation older than that. |

| #3 May Representative Murtha heal quickly, then find the experience a reason to retire to spend more time with his family. |

| #1 Laproscopic surgery to remove the gall bladder is about as non-invasive as surgery gets. (Been there, done that, don't have the gall bladder.) |
