20. Acute cholecystitis

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/acute-cholecystitis/

Acute cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder. It usually happens when a gallstone blocks the cystic duct.

Gallstones are small stones, usually made of cholesterol, that form in the gallbladder. The cystic duct is the main opening of the gallbladder.

Gallstones are very common, affecting about 1 in 10 adults in the UK.

They do not usually cause symptoms, but can occasionally cause episodes of pain (biliary colic) or acute cholecystitis.

Acute cholecystitis is potentially serious because of the risk of complications.

It usually needs to be treated in hospital with rest, intravenous fluids and antibiotics.

Symptoms of cholecystitis
The main symptom of acute cholecystitis is a sudden, sharp pain in the upper right-hand side of your tummy (abdomen). This pain spreads towards your right shoulder.

The affected part of the tummy is usually very tender, and breathing deeply can make the pain worse.

Unlike other types of abdominal pain, the pain of acute cholecystitis is usually persistent and does not go away within a few hours.

Some people may have additional symptoms, such as:

a high temperature (fever)
feeling sick
being sick
sweating
loss of appetite
yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes (jaundice)
a bulge in the tummy

The Supreme Court says that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was hospitalized today at Johns Hopkins for a gallbladder related condition (acute cholecystitis)

Justice Ginsburg is resting comfortably and plans on participating in oral arguments tomorrow via telephone from the hospital

My "NOOOOOO!!" was still echoing while reading this. Whew, may she be up and around again soon.

[smirkymonkey]

26. I really hope she will be ok.

Not only for selfish reasons, but she is a national treasure and I want her to be around for a long time. She is an inspiration to so many.

14. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hospitalized with gallstone-related infection.

The Supreme Court made the announcement Tuesday night.

The 87-year-old justice underwent non-surgical treatment for what the court described as acute cholecystitis, a benign gall bladder condition, at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.

She expects to be in the hospital for a day or two, the court said.
Ginsburg took part in the court’s telephone arguments Monday and Tuesday and plans to do so again Wednesday, the court said.

She has been treated four times for cancer, most recently in August.

She initially sought medical care Monday, when the gallstone was first diagnosed.'

16. Damn. A hospital is a dangerous place to be these days. nt

[SaveOurDemocracy]

27. Johns Hopkins is very smart about how they do things, and big enough to isolate different areas.

I know; my husband had colon cancer surgery there last month and his first chemo treatment today. Very stringent safety rules.

Speedy Recovery RBG!

28. Thank goodness! nt

30. :) "expected to participate in...oral arguments" Wednesday from the hospital.

That's our indomitable RBG, and so relieved to hear it. Thanks.

We have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world, and it starts out with three words, 'We, the people.'
