In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Had Heart Attack, His Doctors Say, as He Leaves Hospital [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)25. Why wouldn't they be forthcoming and honest from the very beginning?
At first they were insisting he hadn't had a heart attack.
Why wouldn't they be forthcoming and honest from the very beginning? The BS campaign was reporting "no heart attack" as if it were fact, but it wasn't. Why didn't they just say "too early to tell" or "we don't know yet" or words to that effect?
Now that the precedent has been set... now that we know what to expect... (and now that we know the TRUTH is TOTALLY OPPOSITE from what they told us) I'm afraid that I will now (and forever more) have a VERY DIFFICULT TIME in being able to trust any news at all that comes from them.
All I'm saying is... they should have been honest, direct, transparent and forthcoming FROM THE VERY BEGINNING... but they weren't. And that's a shame. The BS campaign has totally lost my trust on this matter. I can't believe anything they say when it comes to this subject.

I can't believe his doctors let him out of the hospital after three days AND are letting him....

Fantastic to hear he is feeling great. Back to fighting for Medicare for All with Warren.

"Thanks for posting the great news!"??? Sid posted that he had a heart attack. That's good news?

That's what they're saying, but no one is "great" less than three days after a heart attack.

At first they were insisting he hadn't had a heart attack. So this isn't great news. n/t

I don't understand why they thought it was a good idea to wait three days to announce this
