Did Ashcroft have a heart attack?

[JohnKleeb]

My dad says he heard something, wants me to confirm it. BTW he has a name for him "Ashcrotch" I like that and Asscroft but on a serious note. Link o link.

1. no, i think it was something non life threatening

i can't remember what, but i don'tthink it was anything too serious.

i personally like calling him "asscrack"

19. Hi Bush_Unemployed04!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

4. Pancreatitis

Gallstone blocking the tract leading to the pancreas.

He's in intensive care.

Not life-threatening but sure does make you feel like hell. Heh.

[Padraig18]

5. Obstructive pancreatitis.

A gallstone slipped into the pancreatic duct, and his pancreas is now infected. He's in ICU, but he is not in 'critical' condidtion.

[Fovea]

6. acute pancreatitis

which can go from annoying to life threatening PDQ.
Depending on the cause, it could put him out of action for a week or two, or forever.

7. Asscrotch has the bad pancreas

Uncle Dick has the bad ticker.
And Junior...... no discernable mass in the cranial cavity :evilgrin:

9. Yeah I know

Cheney has a heart problem and has heart attacks in the past but he heard Ashcroft did. Thanks guys btw.

8. severe pancreatitis cases can indeed be life-threatening.

The prognosis depends on whether the inflammation was bad enough to do serious damage to the pancreas, in turn leading to low blood pressure and damage to other organs. In very severe cases, death can occur.

15. I hope it was severe.

:bounce:

10. It's the GOP "Weekend at Bernie's!"

I still find it hard to believe that Cheney is still alive. How many heart attacks did this guy have?..don't you just wish he would get the same healthcare we do...he wouldn't be here...he he he he

[Liberal Veteran]

11. I made him this get well card....

[Monument]

12. Ashcroft should be back to normal in a week....

...according to boston.com

And I'm nervously chuckling at that scary-ass picture of the red eyed cat! That's a great pic

[montanacowboy]

13. Oh, toooooooo wonderful!!!

Love it love it - I thought I would send some hairs from my little Calico Persian in a get well card...ha hahhhahahaha

[AntiCoup2K4]

21. Needs a pointed tail

To look even more like an "agent of Satan" :evilgrin:

[Arbustosux]

14. I think he is having a gerbil removed from his rectum....

that would be typical for a repub family value kinda guy!!

[troublemaker]

16. A disease of alcoholics

gall stone pancreatitis is one of those things like cirrhosis that's fairly rare but common in winos. I'm just saying... I doubt Ashcroft's a big drunk... he slurs his words and his eyes are always wet and bright red, but that doesn't mean anything. Nothing at all. And he doesn't do erratic things except for that time he called a press conference to announce a terror arrest and said a bunch of untrue and sort of crazy things and the White House had to distance themselves from his version of the charges.

17. alcoholics in the Bush admin

oh, say it ain't so! You are a troublemaker!! LOL

Pancreatitis hurts like hell, according to my recovering buds who've had it.

[SixShooter]

18. Hopefully he feels better soon

I wish him a speedy recovery, that stuff hurts like crazy....but I also equally wish that he will be out of his current job by this time next year!

[union_maid]

20. Pancreatitis is really not that rare in alcoholics

It's one way that people can die of alcholism. Sometimes not the first time, but if you keep drinking there will be more attacks. I don't know about gallstone pancreatitis, though. I've heard it called alcoholic pancreatitis. Didn't know if gallstones were involved in that type.
