Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Had Heart Attack, His Doctors Say, as He Leaves Hospital [View all]brush
(53,743 posts)38. It's decision time. It's 13 months before the election and then 4 more years to serve if he wins.
Does anyone think there won't be another incident in all that time, considering he also had the fainting in the shower incident before this heart attack, which apparently was an earlier heart incident?
It's time to face the music and do the right thing for his health and the party. Campaigning for president with all the travel and multiple events a day is physically taxing for even those with no heart incidents.
Getting right back on the campaign trail is not wise for someone who just had a heart attack, and taking a month or two or three to rest, which is probably the best thing to do, will just about kill his campaign so Bernie heeds to make a tough but necessary decision.

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
