Interesting how stories about Cheney's surgery don't name the doctors.

It appears they are trying to keep those with real knowledge of his medical conditions as anonymous as possible to keep a lid on information about just how sick he is from coming out. Obviously from the information that is available in the public domain (4 heart attacks, automatic implantable cardiac defibrillator) we know that he's quite sick at a minimum.

Contrast this to how the surgeons who operate on the Prez and such are usually not only named but have press conferences (of course these individuals are often happy to have the glory of having taken care of such an important person, not to mention the promotion it gives their practice).

2. So is he fit to come back to work or should he take a leave?

It just amazes me that we have a drunk that is suppose to poush the button and a man without a heart that will have to push it for him.

Something is wrfong with this picture.

Oh, and the BRAIN of the drunk is looking at some jail time.

4. That's a good catch there Mayberry. I hadn't thought of that.
That is interesting, and unusual.

Seems to me we usually hear about who the physician team is for presidents.

"He confirmed that Secret Service agents purchased flies, but he couldn't say whether the flies were to be used by the vice president or by the agents. He said the shop, which also provides lodging, was putting up four Secret Service agents and six ambulance personnel. "
