Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) underwent heart surgery after he experienced chest discomfort during a campaign event on Tuesday, his campaign said.
Jeff Weaver, a senior adviser to Sanders's campaign, said a medical evaluation of the Vermont senator discovered blockage in one of his arteries, and two stents were successfully inserted.
"Sen. Sanders is conversing and in good spirits," Weaver said. "He will be resting up over the next few days. We are canceling his events and appearances until further
I didn't know being a commie could cause clogged arteries. Learn something every day.

Hope he's OK - but his campaign is over. Bad news for Biden too since he's almost the same age. Ma Lizzie can now consolidate the left-wing vote.

Bernie has no heart and needed stents, in the same way Biden need brain stents.

If he showed up at Walter Reed, hopefully they would fly him to Cuba or Venezuela for their great medical system.

Thank goodness he didn't have to endure full socialized medicine to get treated. Now he's got a pretty good chance of living to ripe old age.

Having had stents (four of them) and knowing the gentleman who invented the first cardiac stent, you can be up and back to work in a few days in many cases. It's not like open heart surgery which laid you up for weeks. Of course, if I listened to my cardiologist (and my wife and brother-in-law doctor) and excercised, ate better, and lost some weight, I'd be better.
But then again, I had a friend who gave up drinking, smoking, fattening foods, fast cars, and fast women. He lived an exceedingly healthy life until he committed suicide from the boredom.

They could only find the left ventricle. I'm sure Bernie asked for a doctor who would have never been admitted to med school without diversity incentives. I'm sure he made sure his doctor doesn't make too much money.

Bernie is probably using this as an excuse to bow out to give Hillary the spot to run again.

#4, I have been a visitor to a Moscow hospital, but not a patient, and it is grim, grimy, patients have to provide their own food, linens. I wouldn't wish that on anyone - not even Crazy Bernie.
#18, In April I was put on a new diet medication called Belviq, safe for coronary artery disease sufferers, and it works. Lost 65 pounds, changed my eating habits - I was mindlessly eating more than I wanted or needed. You might want to give the new medicine a try.

Bye bye, Bernie! His campaign was already floundering. He had peaked in 2016. Heart surgery will finish him. Biden's in trouble. That leaves the fake Indian.

Being a staunch communist, he angrily refused treatment from the filthy capitalist pig medical system in America and quickly chartered a jet to fly him to Moscow.

#27, I had a broken wrist in a small city in Siberia, slipped on their ice. The clinic looked like the photos of the Ellis Island clinics you have seen from the 1920s. The literal hunchback operator of the 1950s vintage X-ray machine did a good job with her antique equipment, and the nurse who put on the cast did a fine job.
But I am quite glad it was nothing invasive and that I was out of there in an hour or so. A minor break, not displaced significantly, didn't need much care, in the end.
In another case, the Russian doc in Moscow completely misdiagnosed a rash on my neck, and two days later, my own doc glanced at it from the doorway of the exam room, exclaiming, "OK, a classic case of shingles, I see." A quick dose of antiviral stopped it, and vaccinations have kept it away. But the docs in Russia....I am not too impressed, some may be OK like the one who worked on my wrist. But the younger one who saw my rash....clueless, entirely.

Chest discomfort = heart attack. But no one will admit it. Go home Bernie.
