He is having surgery rather than rubbing bear blood on his shoulder or howling to the moon.

Reporting from Washington

March 10, 2026, 11:30 a.m. ET
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is having rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday, according to a spokeswoman for the department, who said he planned to return to work on Monday.

The department did not immediately respond to a query as to whether Mr. Kennedy’s injury was caused by the intense workouts he has promoted since taking the helm of the agency.

Mr. Kennedy, 72, has promoted the workouts as part of a wider campaign to improve Americans’ health. Last year, he and Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, launched a fitness initiative in which they challenged people to 100 push-ups and 50 pull-ups in under 10 minutes.

Mr. Kennedy has also publicized himself working out with various public figures, including other cabinet secretaries and the musician Kid Rock.

1. What a shithead

[leftstreet]

2. Will he emerge with the Mar-A-Lago face?

That'd be cool

[Swede]

6. Nice

[allegorical oracle]

3. Rotary cuff, eh? Too bad it wasn't a brain transplant. nt

[riversedge]

7. I am glad the docs do not have to waste a good brain on rfkJr.!!

[Bobstandard]

4. Very painful recovery

I’ve had ACL repair, a knee replacement and rotator cuff surgery. Recovery from the latter is by far the most painful of them. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

I wonder if he’s going to do it drug free? No oxy, no Tylenol, no ivermectin. Can I be the first to call bs if he claims he is?

[Wicked Blue]

5. He's going to drink fermented road kill

to numb the pain

[Ritabert]

8. Sauerkraut perhaps?

[Wicked Blue]

18. Don't be silly. Sauerkraut is for enemas.

[Ritabert]

21. LOL!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

16. Rub beef tallow on that shoulder

[synni]

15. He'll demand painkillers, and he'll snort them off a toilet seat

[Vinca]

9. But I heard the condition can be cured by eating full fat yogurt with bacon chunks in it.

[tanyev]

10. Just fill a syringe full of ivermectin and jam it in there.

It’ll fix that rotary cuff pronto.

[LR3]

11. "Intense workouts" video calls with Olivia Nuzzi

wank wank wank

[mopinko]

12. i'll b surprised if he is back that quickly.

i had that surgery, and i was lucky. my rehab went well. only took a couple mos of pt to b good.
a whole lot of ppl take mos and mos to get back to normal.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. I'm sure anesthesia will do THAT brain a world of good!

Uh-huh.

[eppur_se_muova]

14. Wish they could wake him up in the middle of surgery and all be dressed as Voodoo "witch doctors".

Then put him back under.

[Ritabert]

22. LOL!

[Initech]

17. Doing too many pull ups at the airport?

[Ritabert]

23. Working out with blue jeans on no doubt.

[BannonsLiver]

19. Hopefully they give him opioids for pain and he becomes a junkie again.

[mr715]

24. Hopefully they give him Tylenol and a circumcision

[mr715]

20. I hear quartz crystals and leeches for rotator cuff

But I'm not up to date on my medical info. How are his humours? Phlegmatic or bilious?
