I hope he will be O.K. -

Same. Disagreed with him on most things but dont hate him. I actually think we'd get along quite well if I knew him in person. Reading some comments on other sites about it are fairly disturbing. Some saying they hope he dies and stuff like that.

says more about them than him, I couldn't stand him as president but would never wish him personal harm as what he did is his to answer for as it is for each of us

I wonder if he thought of sprinting up a steep hill rather than take the operation. (pretty minor one these days, they don't even put you to sleep.
Try to refrain from chatting with the Doctor during the surgery for obvious reasons

The only funny thing he said in 8+years is that Canadians still knew how to wave with all 5 fingers. I have to admit that one had me fall out of my chair with laughter, that doesn't make up for the crap but whatever.

Very rare occurrence exploited by the left and usually taken care of by charities.

"Using a conservative definition, 62.1% of all bankruptcies in 2007 were medical; 92% of these medical debtors had medical debts over $5000, or 10% of pretax family income. The rest met criteria for medical bankruptcy because they had lost significant income due to illness or mortgaged a home to pay medical bills."

A good GP can pick up the warning signs. Have a friend who sees the same GP I do. He picked up on it. Off that very day for tests, fast tracked. Tests done. Boom into the OR- Bypasses and stents.

For sure, a smart patient can too!

Jarge's bark was worse than his bite, he just didn't take any crap from anyone and knew where to draw the line in the sand. Actually a very intelligent person.

I have a brother who is a GP in Texas; no one goes untreated, ever.

Does he go to the State run Hispital in Ft Worth or is he ex-military?? VA Hispital??


If you don't have insurance in Texas they will treat minor emergency, but past that you have to apply for Medicae or Medicae..


The USA has and always have the best medical care "Money can buy."

I hope he gets well soon.

He's a tough old bugger, he'll take a lot of killing.

From what I heard about U.S. health, if you're filthy rich or dirt poor you got it made- it's the wage slave in the middle that has a problem paying for it.

Is there a better reason to go bankrupt?

Not if you want to survive!

Yeah, in many ways that's true.


When I worked in Texas I had BlueCross. $160/mo paid by me and $150/mo paid by my employer.


It gave me everything from medical, dental and drug benifuts..


I miss Texas tonight, having a real crappy night.. Trucking up to Edmonton with a load, on hwy 2 outside Crossfield by the ESSO, some jerk tossed 3 puppies onto the road.


One guy pulled to the side to try and get them, but I couldn't stop, swerve, or anything .80,000lbs don't stop on a dime ... I think I hit 2 but not sure, hope I missed all but the rig behind me.. well I'm not hopeful for the puppies.


I do have a dash cam in my truck and the police want a copy of the incident if anything was captured..


What the fukk is wrong with people??

There may be sumpin a little fishy here. I don't think blocked arteries are discovered during routine annual checkups. As far as I know (from my limited experience with medical procedures) they wouldn't even look for something like that unless there were symptoms and then you'd probably have to wait for another appointment with a cardiologist which could take a few weeks.

Here is all I could capture..

At the 00:58 mark you can see the 3 very small baby pups.. no bigger than a hand.. look like they were just born..

Sick People - YouTube

Reviewing the video to see if I can see the fukking prick who tossed them..

This kind of crap burns my britches..

"Oh dam'it" was when I unfortunately hit them.. kills me inside.

Here is a direct link.. much clearer and you can see them

that's exactly what I thought when I first scanned it but then realized they may have an entirely different procedural routine for their presidents...it's not like he is one of the rabble...even we Canadians can go south and have extensive tests done that show and predict damn near everything if we are willing to pay the big bucks...and I doubt the rich wait one second for their appointments with cardiologists...bet it's all done within hours...


If he isn't rabble, he'll do till some come along. Too bad he got treated.

Betcha he had to stand in line for like 20 seconds.

Gave the video to the RCMP. I don't know if anything will come of it.. had pain in my heart from the stress for the rest of that trip..
yeah, I can imagine, not only should whoever did it be charged with animal abuse but also some charge about causing emotional turmoil to another human being... to put a slightly different spin on it... ya know at least they didn't suffer man, better a quick death under the wheels than what might have happened to them under this azzhat's care...I know it isn't much man, but it's something.
