I'm not six feet under yet!
Yesterday, sources close to a former President - and Bill Clinton himself - noted that "heart pains" prompted a trip to a hospital in New York which resulted in emergency on-the-spot surgery to alleviate the medical problem.
I reported on the news alert early yesterday.

Later in the day, however, one of Clinton's doctor's made a point of noting for the record that the scandal-ridden former Arkansas Governor complained of chest "discomfort" when he was rushed to the medical facility which casts doubt on either the integrity of the physcian and/or the honesty of Clinton and his public relations team
"You wouldn't really call them "heart pains"," the doctor emphatically stressed to the media.
In retrospect, it appears that Clinton is up to his slick shenanigans once again.
I surmise that after-the-fact, his posse of "image brokers" hatched up an "emergency" escape plan, to prevent any fall out or questions about the severity of the ailment yesterday or doubts about the reliability of Clinton's "health" in the future.
For good reason.
The former President heads up a multi-million-dollar foundation,and in view of that, must be careful that an image of uncertainty about his future does not adversely affect the generosity of wealthy patrons or stop-up the flow of cash.
Because Hillary's hubbie (with the active libido and no problem with blood flow to the penis) has been assigned the role of a special U.S. envoy to assist with Haitian relief there is also cause for concern.
In the high-crisis situation that he has been plunked down in - that will require a lot of physically-draining travel and a stressful demanding schedule - questions might be raised about his capacity to fulfill his duties (or even the wisdom of continuing on in view of the urgent health matters experienced this past week).
I surmise that - the doctor, Clinton (and Hillary), and former president's team of advisers and PR staff - orchestrated a grip on the nature of the news reports filtering out in a deceitful effort to rope in potentially negative informantion that might ultimately weaken Clinton's public image as a robust man with years of public service ahead of him.
Frankly, I don't think the doctor was telling the truth.
Coincidentally, this past weekend, I was admitted to Cedars Sinai due to "chest pains".
I make no bones about it.
Personally, I am familiar with the procedures involved with "discomfort" or "pains" in the chest.
If a patient states he or she has "discomfort" in the chest, the doctor will undoubtedly ask if there is any actual "pain".
If not, the physician may rule out the "heart" as the culprit.
The symptoms may indicate muscle spasms, an infection in the oesophagus, whatever.
However, if the patient confirms there is "pain", they will be asked to describe it in detail.
For example, the doctor will quiz as to whether the pain is sharp, dull, radiating from one area to another, and so forth and so on.
At this juncture, an EKG or X-Ray may be ordered up, if the symptoms and "pain" experienced signal potential heart problems.
In a nutshell, information is obviously being withheld to protect Mr. Clinton, for whatever reason.
Typical of slick Willy, don't you think?
It's difficult to feel any sympathy for a man who perpetuates a myth about himself from behind a mask.
Yeah, Hillary is in on it, too.
Lay down with dogs and you get fleas!
Stents look pretty scary to moi!
