In a statement released at 10 p.m. Wednesday night, the Medstar Washington Hospital Center said Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), shot and seriously wounded at a baseball practice on June 14, is back in intensive care.

"Congressman Steve Scalise has been readmitted to the Intensive Care Unit at MedStar Washington Hospital Center due to new concerns for infection. His condition is listed as serious. We will provide another update tomorrow, July 6."

Two weeks ago, the hospital said Scalise was making "good progress" and would be transferred out of ICU. "He remains in fair condition as he continues an extended period of healing and rehabilitation," the hospital said on June 23.

Prolonged hospitalization is a fatal infection just waiting to happen.

My prayers go out to Rep. Scalisi.

IIRC post op infections are always a big risk when someone has been opend up as many times as he was in such a short period of time.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

I don't think he will make it.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
LOL. So is Reagan......unless you know something I don't. Do you? Are you saying you know Reagan is alive? Is he hiding from the mob, creditors, Jane Wyman?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

LOL. You are aware that Rawstory is a Communist circle jerk, right? They are open about that which makes me giggle when people keep posting it on this right wing board like this.

thanks for that reminder.  Lala Rawraw and the infamous Will Pitt both of DU fame are "writers" there.

IIRC raw Story was the origin of the tragically wrong "24 Business Hours" story on Karl Rove too.

Bone wounds are nasty.
Yep. And with high fragmentation comes the possibility of necrotic tissue somewhere. Add in that the intestinal damage must have been pretty bad, and I'm surprised this hasn't been a problem already.
