Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller undergoes heart procedure in Fort Worth hospital

AUSTIN — Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller underwent a heart procedure Tuesday at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth, his office said.

Miller, 66, underwent the cardiac catheterization procedure after he experienced shortness of breath and chest discomfort last Friday evening and was admitted to the hospital on Saturday.

Cardiologists successfully inserted a stent into Miller’s left anterior descending artery to eliminate a blockage, his office said in a news release. The Republican statewide elected official is expected to be released later this week and will recover at home, his office said.

“I can now add heart surgery to my list of medical mishaps and challenges which include numerous rodeo injuries, broken bones, hip, double knee replacement, shoulder surgery, West Nile virus, COVID and cancer,” Miller said in a news release. “I guess that list just makes me Texas tough.”

Now the crucial question: Did they allow Sid to wear his cowboy hat during the surgery?

A brain scan on Sid would confirm what has been obvious to so many of us for such a long time: nothing there. Nada. Empty space, with that fucking cowboy hat on top of it.
