Sen. Harry Reid is in the hospital.
From the LVRJ: Sen. Harry Reid broke ribs and several bones in his face in an accident while exercising at his Henderson home Thursday, his office said Friday morning.
A piece of workout equipment Reid was using broke and caused him to fall, according to a statement. Reid spokeswoman Kristen Orthman said an elastic resistance band snapped in his face.
Reid, 75, was brought to St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Henderson by U.S. Capitol Police security officers he is assigned as a Senate leader and who post guard around the clock. He was then transferred to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, where he was admitted overnight “as a precaution,” aides said.
Reid communications director Adam Jentleson said tests revealed no bleeding in the brain or other internal bleeding.
The Nevada Democrat remained at UMC on Friday morning but was expected to be released, Orthman said. He is likely to show severe bruising on this face, aides said. http://www.reviewjournal.com/politics/sen-reid-breaks-ribs-bones-exercising-accident
First off, even though I completely despise the man, I do hope he does have a speedy recovery.
But, Reid suffered severe injuries with the possibility of even more injuries. He had broken ribs and broken bones in the face. They checked him for internal bleeding and bleeding on the brain. (insert brain joke here).
These are serious and noticeable injuries.
Why wasn't an ambulance called?
By his rent a cops taking him to the hospital in serious condition, they risked hurting him even more or risked having him aggravating even more serious injuries. He could have had become paralyzed, bled out and suffered cardiac arrest or other serious conditions.
So, what are they hiding?
If they called an ambulance, 1 ambulance would have been dispatched and probably a fire engine as well. The cops may have been called out because it was Reid but I doubt it.
Why didn't Reid and his entourage want the firefighters to see him and why did they risk Reid's health?
Maybe because they would discover that the accident didn't happen the way he said it did?
Why did they not allow these professionals into his house?
Were they afraid the media would find out when they listened to the scanner and then the media would start asking questions?
So, what is Reid hiding?
