Ruth Bader Ginsburg resting comfortably in New York City hospital after non-surgical procedure

Source: CNN

(CNN)Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is resting comfortably in a New York City hospital after undergoing a medical procedure to replace a bile duct stent that was originally placed last year, according to the court.

"Justice Ginsburg underwent a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure today at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City to revise a bile duct stent that was originally placed at Sloan Kettering in August 2019," a statement from the court read Wednesday evening.
"According to her doctors, stent revisions are common occurrences and the procedure, performed using endoscopy and medical imaging guidance, was done to minimize the risk of future infection. The Justice is resting comfortably and expects to be released from the hospital by the end of the week."
The hospital trip -- her second this month -- comes a little less than two weeks after the 87-year-old justice announced her cancer had returned.

Even though planned and non-surgical, any visit to the hospital by RBG makes me nervous. She's expecting to be released at end of the week.

Sirota’s, Cornell West’s, Brianna Joy Gray’s, and other selfish, so-called progressives who encouraged people NOT TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE in the 2016 general election

While I thank the stars she is stable, we are hanging by a thread and I have mentally prepared myself for the worst

I take nothing for granted

She is a hero

presumptive Democratic nominee, THEY ARE THE ONE'S trying to divide Democrats

I have no regrets calling them out

They are despicable in my book, and have blood on their hands

regarding the presumptive Democratic nominee.

https://www.mediaite.com/news/sanders-campaign-co-chair-nina-turner-rips-biden-choosing-between-him-and-trump-is-like-eating-from-a-bowl-of-sht/

David Sirota works for Jacobin, where he is doing the same things he was doing against the Democratic nominee in 2016

I would like to be very clear that all of the Democratic nominees, including Senator Sanders, have made it clear they support the presumptive Democratic nominee


I also do not belong or touch those social networks, but those platforms are being utilized to propagate this type of division.

Still I understand the point you are making

I don't recognize any of the other names you list, which probably correlates with low impact too.

immediately on RBG's health. The president is rushed to a hospital for tests, is walking dragging his foot, and having trouble with balance, and CRICKETS. What are they hiding, apart from his dirty dealings with taxes, now?? We need an update on his condition. RBG is one tough lady, and I hope she recovers soon.

The fat orange blob would never give us the pleasure of dropping dead. He will live to be 100 or older. I am starting to wonder if fast food and pop are really good for a person.

He may need some help to make that happen.

I hope he keeps going maskless around his infested legions.
