Holy Cow, was Dubya's debate hump a Defibrilator?


Maybe the Dickster thought the Shrub might need it and lent him one of his own.




The LifeVest fills the therapeutic gap between hospitalization and an ICD. The LifeVest has the same important characteristics of both an ICU/CCU and the ICD; it continuously monitors the heart and is designed to provide prompt defibrillation when needed. LIFECOR®, Inc. believes that the LifeVest has the potential to become the standard of care for intermediate-term patients. And, in cases when an ICD is not feasible, it also can serve as a longer-term alternative.

11. That would explain his aborted slam against the media
That was classic. But, days later and the media is still whoring for him. They know what side their bread is buttered on.

10. a couple years ago
I had a strange heart problem. My doctors INSISTED I get to a hospital immediately - I had to miss a Rolling Stones concert.

There's no way any doctor would allow somebody with a serious heart problem to go out campaigning. The doctor would lose his license.
