[left-of-center2012]

First lady Jill Biden will undergo a "common medical procedure" on Wednesday morning, the White House announced late Tuesday.

"Tomorrow morning, the President will accompany the First Lady to an appointment for a common medical procedure at an outpatient center in Washington, DC. Afterward, the President and the First Lady will return to the White House to resume their normal schedule," a White House official said in a statement.

The White House did not provide any additional details on the first lady's procedure.

1. Love, Joe

When I had cataracts put in (not saying that’s what Jill has) or any medical thing, I always pretend my late husband is sitting in the empty chair.

Best of luck, Mrs. Biden.

4. maybe a mammogram ?

7. Mammograms are uncomfortable

but they're not done under sedation. My guess is a colonoscopy, for which the patient is sedated but (at least in my case) conscious. My health provider requires a driver for all patients who have one, but once the patient is home there's usually no side effects to worry about.

10. Where in the article does it say they will use sedation?

And I don't think Joe is going along as her driver.
