14. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hospitalized with gallstone-related infection.
Tue May 5, 2020, 07:46 PM
May 2020

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.'

Johns Hopkins is very smart about how they do things, and big enough to isolate different areas. SaveOurDemocracy May 2020 #27
